"The Department of Homeland Security on Monday announced a one-time increase of 15,000 additional visas for low-wage, seasonal workers for the remainder of this fiscal year, a seeming about-face from President Trump's "Hire American" rhetoric, following heavy lobbying from the fisheries, hospitality and other industries that rely on temporary foreign workers.
The increase represents a 45 percent bump from the number of H-2B visas normally issued for the second half of the fiscal year, said senior Homeland Security officials in a call with reporters Monday.
The visas are for workers taking temporary jobs in the seafood, tourism, landscaping, construction and other seasonal industries -- but not farm laborers."
This is why we have so many foreign temps doing work that Americans should be doing. Make America Great by offering Americans jobs with a living wage. I thought Trump wanted to cut down foreigners coming here to work. Trump needs to spend time working on a solution rather than tweeting 24/7 or playing golf.
