“I am grateful for Secretary Nielsen’s assistance in addressing the current labor shortage on Maryland’s Eastern Shore. As American unemployment has dropped, demand for temporary seasonal workers has increased dramatically. Maryland’s seafood processing industry and other seasonal industries are suffering without the temporary workers who come to the U.S. through the H-2B visa program. While the extra 15,000 visas announced today won’t accommodate full demand this year, these additional visas are significant progress while Congress seeks a long-term solution to reform the H-2B program. Congress failed to raise the program’s visa limit this year, and we must reform the program to accommodate demand and keep America’s small seasonal businesses open.”

ReplyDelete*crew you Andy. You lost me on this FALSE statement. Just more BS political rhetoric. They already admitted they did not want to have to pay AMERICANS a reasonable wage which is why they use foreigners.
Shame on you for buying into this and pushing lies and not supporting AMERICANS. Shame
Harris needs to remove these visas when they expire and remove illegals from MD. I am tired of always having to adapt to Spanish. They are in America speak understandable English or leave.English should be mandated for all visas.
ReplyDeleteIf he wants to "keep America’s small seasonal businesses open.” he should fight to sever the government teat the lazy, refuse to work Americans are living off of and HIRE Americans. MAKE even a "seasonal" job MANDATORY to receive ANY kind of assistance!
