    Trump administration nearly doubles H-2B guest visa program, which brings many Mexica

    Trump administration nearly doubles H-2B guest visa program, which brings many Mexican workers

    I hope they have conducted a throughout analysis to determine whether this is needed or not. I tend to suspect that they have not.

    As President Donald Trump threatened to shut down the U.S.-Mexico border in recent days, his Department of Homeland Security nearly doubled the number of temporary guest worker visas available this summer.

    DHS and the Labor Department plan to grant an additional 30,000 H-2B visas this summer on top of the 33,000 H-2B visas they had planned to give out, the agencies confirmed.






    The H-2B visa is for foreign workers to come to the United States and work for several months at a company such as a landscaper, amusement park or hotel. About 80 percent of these visas went to people from Mexico and Central America last year, government data show.

    Trump should scale off.....doing this won't get the Demos to do anything about Illegal Immigration. Playing nicey nice with Democrats. Just isnt the way to move forward.

    That and we need a total overhaul of our immigration system. We need to encourage people the US needs and prohibit people we don't need. End the lottery. End chain migration. Demand people who want to come here benefit the US.

    A long story short , Trump hasn't a clue to the fire he is playing with(Immigration)


    All he thinks about is what they might do for our economy to give him better numbers, not all the unintended consequences that would follow

    By the way, how may know that these legal visa holders can just overstay their visa and become illegal? Nice huh?

    Yep, it's all part of MAGA(Rolling eyes)

    This is not the first time this buffoon has done chit like this
    The Trump administration acted Monday to allow 15,000 more visas for temporary seasonal workers this year.
    Under authority provided by Congress, the Secretary of Homeland Security is permitted to allow the additional visas after determining that the needs of U.S. businesses can't be satisfied with Americans willing and qualified to do the work.

    But wait, I thought it was just ILLEGAL immigration that conservatives were against, remember?

    This is all about respect for the semantics of the law and not, you know, race, language, that sort of thing...riiiiiight?

    Peruse the though that the entire immigration system needs reform.

    And by "reform", I suspect you mean abolition.

    Absolutely not. Did you read my position above? If so, how could you possibly come to that conclusion.

    I re-read it. Fair enough.

    I mean I think that the White House is obviously responding to the influx of refugees and immigrants we're having that's at least partially owed to this very administration's elevated threats to do things like building more border wall urgently and close the border even. People rush in when they think the window for migration is closing and they won't get another chance. Also, there are crises going on in Latin America, such as what we see in Venezuela above all lately. They're obviously responding to that by striving to provide more legal channels for at least some of that migration that's inevitable. Maybe they could do more to stem the tide by shutting up for a while about the wall.
