Bringing in cheap TFW also screws up the coffee/hospitality industry. Lots of local people would start their own coffee shop, serve sandwiches, it's not rocket science. But there is no way to compete with a company that brings in TFW. So you're left with bad food, and an unpleasant place to sit. Nowadays the shops are dirty and uncomfortable. Also cause high local unemployment, of people that could start a small business but it's not a fair playing field. Even if a local starts a coffee shop and fails, they learnt many valuable skills; accounting, permit applications, human resourcing. The coffee shop was a place to start for a local needing to make money and move up in life. That's why I hate places like Tim Hortons and Starbucks, and all the chains.

TFW should be brought in, but there should be a $50K application fee per worker per year, to insure that these jobs are for understaffed specialist positions.

50k application fee from the employer, and that goes straight to college and universities to eliminate the need over time.
