Durbin, Grassley hit Biden move to increase H-2B seasonal worker visas
Fox News
Sens. Dick Durbin, D-Ill., and Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, on Thursday criticized a decision by the Biden administration to increase the number of available H-2B seasonal worker visas, citing long-standing concerns
The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) said it will increase the visa number by 22,000 and will reserve 6,000 for nationals from Northern Triangle countries -- Honduras, El Salvador and Guatemala -- in line with an executive order signed by President Biden earlier this year designed to restore orderly migration at the southern border. But the H-2B has critics from both sides of the aisle, who argue it is rife with abuse and fraud -- allowing companies to bring in cheap labor and exploit immigrant workers.More Related News
