Ocean City’s long involvement with international students could influence legislators considering an exemption in the Senate Immigration Bill that would ensure international students could continue to come to the resort and elsewhere in this country for short-term employment.
The international students, participants in the State Department’s Exchange Visitor Program, pay fees to sponsor organizations for placement and related services to be able to work for three months and travel on their J-1 visas for one month before returning to their home countries.
Many businesses need the international workers and would find it difficult, if not impossible, to continue without them. Because the need for them is so great and because Ocean City is considered a model for the program because of the involvement of so many citizens who work to enhance the students’ experiences, the Department of State asked the resort’s Seasonal Workforce Committee for information about the need to continue the program.
