The H-2B visa-worker program imports roughly 66,000 seasonal workers each year, allowing seasonal companies to lower wages for American seasonal workers and for year-round staff and supervisors.
The new amendment will allow CEOs to hire H-2B workers from the two prior years without counting them under the 66,000 annual cap. That legal trick will give CEOs a population of up to 198,000 H-2B workers to help lower wages for a larger number of Americans — even though wages are climbing very slowly in the current good economy, and many younger Americans are far worse off than their parents.

Well...ain’t this some silly BS...
Stop it. Just STOP IT.
Seriously, folks, if you are not on the phone to your elected representative AT ALL LEVELS about this crap, you need to rethink your ‘activism’.
Can Trump kill this treason?
That’s why it is known as the STUPID PARTY.
How many of the designated 200,000 H-1 Visa Workers are registered to VOTE?
Ryan could not destroy the US one way has now doing it thru DHS funding .
Pure evil
How much education does it take to operate a leaf blower? Or bus tables at Trump’s hotel?
It’s certainly an increase in DOCUMENTED workers. But would like to know what increase in ACTUAL foreign workers this is.
I assume not much since illegals are everywhere.
This is ALL about corporate America driving down/keeping down the wage base.
