The newspaper reported February 20:
The Department of Homeland Security plans to announce the additional seasonal-worker visas next week, an administration official said. They will become available in two waves: the first 20,000 will be immediately available, while employers can apply for the remainder for jobs beginning June 1.
It wasn’t clear whether the White House has fully signed off on the numbers, and an administration official cautioned they could change.
The additional visas are being made available ahead of the summer, when demand for short-term work is typically highest.
Acting Homeland Security Secretary Chad Wolf “has made no decision yet on the issue,” a DHS spokesperson said. “Any numbers reported on at this time are being pushed to press by junior staff who are not privy to all of the discussions taking place.”

if marine fisheries treated the crabbing season like they do the rest of the fisheries. we wouldn't need these workers! funny how the rec guys always take it up the @ss while the commercial guys whine and get what they want!
Northwest Woodsman: Same issue here in the northwest. Have to say that those crabs appear almost large enough to be Dungeness crabs from the northwest. Sure don’t look like blue crabs I remember. We crab all summer and my wife has found a way of freezing them in the shell and six months later, we steam them and can have fresh tasting crab all year.
HIRE American workers or Shut Down the Businesses !!!!
And I wonder how many of them will disappear into America before their visa's are up?
