Congressman Harris made the following statement:
“I applaud the Department of Homeland Security for approving the release of 35,000 supplemental H-2B visas in time for the upcoming summer season. This is 5000 more supplemental visas than had been approved last year. The record low unemployment rate under the Trump Administration and oversubscription to the H-2B visa program is a debilitating issue for the economy of Maryland’s First Congressional District and the country. I commend President Trump and Acting Secretary Wolf for providing these extras visas – and I remain committed to working with my colleagues in Congress to pass a permanent solution to the chronic H-2B visa shortage across this country – something that only Congress can do.”
Further details regarding this year’s H-2B allocation will be contained in a Temporary Final Rule that DHS aims to complete and publish as soon as possible.

I don't know why we don't simply have another Kirwan bill to give crab pickers more money and maybe we could afford to hire Americans to do the crab picking. On the other hand, why not bring H-2B workers in to teach school? The current teachers obviously can't teach good enough when companies want foreign, not American graduates.
total bs andy! slowly losing my vote! tired of all the pork, grants and other bullsh!t like this!
