That's what the H-2a program is. Many employers have avoided using it because it gives labor actual rights, requires an above-minimum wage, and includes free housing. All of those provisions are currently being gutted though.

To me gutting these benefits is the less bad alternative compared to just bringing in people illegally. And also H-2A doesn’t cover construction workers.
