DHS Approves 15000 Additional Temporary Worker Visas
Businesses have been vocal in demanding an expansion of the H-2B program, saying there are not enough American workers to fill the temporary jobs they need to operate. Until previous year, guest workers who had already participated were not counted toward the cap. "We're talking about American businesses that are at risk of suffering irreparable harm if they don't get additional H-2B workers", said David Lapan, a DHS spokesperson told reporters.
