This is a tremendous flaw in the AgJOBS bill. in my opinion. If these blue card workers are willing to work for $5.15 an hour. then that is all their employers have to pay them. Those folks who are here legally are going to be required to be paid the adverse effect wage rate. which is significantly above that minimum wage rate of $5.15. What Is ironic to me is that these workers. whether here on a blue card or on a H2A visa. are essentially the same. Most come from the same country. Mexico. and many from the same villages.
