I often hear government officials and Congressional staffers say, "all these employers survived despite the shortage of visas." Define survive! Their Americans were worked into the ground, injuries and payroll costs went up and most suffered reputational damage.
Great work all. Between this and the Congressional outreach, they are hearing us. @DHSGov has said they have heard from over 30 Congressional offices on the delay this week. Let's keep up the pressure until the visas are released! #releasethevisas
Don't misunderstand, we are thankful that @DHSGov understands there is a workforce shortage and has taken steps to address this by releasing additional #H2B visas. We know they want to be helpful, we just need them understand that timing is everything. #releasethevisas
It is called a spring clean-up for a reason.
"Hey, how does June 15th work for your spring clean-up? I do not have a workforce, but I am sure you don't mind waiting."
There are only 0.6 workers available for every 1 job opening. The #H2B program is part of the solution to addressing this labor gap. Congress needs to permanently fix the program by passing #HR3897 or #S2443. The delay proves that Congress must take ownership of this crisis.
#H2B just found out I’m in group G. I’ve been in the last group the last three years. This lottery system is failing. Something needs to change and be in favor other the companies doing it the right way. @USDOL@USCIS@HawleyMO@RepAnnWagner@RoyBlunt@RepBlaine
We are all in the same boat . We need the returning workers exemption. We have built our businesses with the aid of #H2B we can’t continue without them. Save seasonal business
Today is lottery day, do you feel lucky? Over 120,000 visas requested, only 33,000 alloted, this is a rough time of year for many businesses. Take note federal government, the #H2B program needs reform NOW!! #fixh2b
H-2B group assignments are coming in. The government is going to fail many businesses by the end of the day. These businesses are the foundation of the economy. #h2breform#fixh2b#h2b#ihcpllc
American workers desiring a seasonal job please go to ur nearest landscaping, carnival, hotel/motel, seafood processing, restaurant, pool company etc. & apply. Expect to be drug tested, fill out & produce government documents & be paid via ✔️.U r desperately needed. #h2b#saveh2b
@realDonaldTrump@realDonaldTrump Do you know what ISN’T fake news Mr President? The small businesses that are being ruined as we speak because you & @DHS_Wolf are not releasing ALL of the H-2B visas! We need our returning workers, Americans DO NOT want these seasonal jobs! Please help! 🙏🏻
30% of employers that needed an #H2B workforce were granted one by their overlords.
While 70% of employers that needed access to an H-2B workforce were randomly denied one by their overlords.
How does this "protect" U.S. workers?
Asking for a friend.................#SaveH2B
Who ever thought landscape companies would hate seeing the sun shine? Well we all do...sun is shining, grass is growing and we need guys! Fix this year then a perm fix is necessary!! It is our LIVES, not a political game! #saveh2b#h2b#releaseallvisas@DHSgov@DHS_Wolf
DHS is looking to finalize the #H2B rule this week. All employers with a valid labor certification should be able to apply for the additional visas. Current rule will result in majority of visas from second tranche going unused. This cannot be @DHS_Wolf's intention.
This is one of your biggest supporters @realDonaldTrump. @daniellelbane is an #H2B employer. @DHSgov's decision to only release 35,000 #H2B visas puts the business she and her husband have built in jeopardy. Small, seasonal employers are also members of your base @realDonaldTrump
