Big thank you to @RepAndyHarrisMD for attending and speaking at our Annual Meeting in Sarasota, FL. Next step, Returning Worker Exemption!

[Horstmann Brothers @HorstmannBros]

@SEA_labor Using h2b our wages(set by DOL) have been over $15/hr for years. That’s not counting the $1,000s in fees per visa to use the cumbersome program. If we could find enough local help(which DOL certifies we can’t) we would not use the program. #saveh2b

[Brett Brownlee @archwaylawncare]

Probably still a wage issue right? ⁦@HawleyMO⁩ ⁦@RepAnnWagner⁩ #saveh2b

Anyone care to guess how many applicants @Crabapple_Inc has received from its three billboards in the Atlanta metro area?

[Mark Schutz @schutzlandscape]

@SEA_labor @Crabapple_Inc @RepLucyMcBath @ossoff @SenatorWarnock There is a labor Shortage in this country & the only people stupid enough to believe there is not are unions, @GOP, @DNC members of Congress & senate as wel as the bureaucrats in the DOL, @DHSgov & USCIS.

#SaveH2B

[Rep. Andy Harris, MD @RepAndyHarrisMD]

While I appreciate the Secretary acting on my request and providing some relief, I am concerned that this number will be insufficient to meet the full demand of our seasonal employers as we come off the pandemic. (1/2) https://t.co/KHSesDlpIy

[NYLandscaper @ny_landscaper]

https://t.co/ZwfRN9lqyt This explains exactly what we’ve been saying for years. This is a must read for all Congress members. Don’t punish us for doing the right thing. Release all the additional #h2b visas. @USCIS @DHSgov @AliMayorkas @ABlinken @SecMartyWalsh @JoeBiden #saveh2b

[NYLandscaper @ny_landscaper]

If I had one wish for the rest of my life to be granted, it would be to increase the #h2b cap to meet the need or permanently implement the returning worker exemption. We hope to be in business for the next 17 years until we retire. Release all the additional visas now. #saveh2b

[H2 Visa Consultants @H2VisaConsult]

New Administration - Same Problem. Nothing ever changes in DC, and if it does, its usually for the worse. Every Congress & Admin since Bush II have ignored seasonal businesses that rely upon #H2B. They only cater to the "Too Big To Fail" crowd and not small businesses. #SaveH2B

[Seasonal Employment Alliance @SEA_labor]

One thing @USDOL must understand is that more American worker applicants does not = more Am. workers. From our survey:

- 1,974 American worker applicants during the month of March
- 577 American workers interviewed
- 56 showed up on their first scheduled day
- 109 still working

[Adam McAllister @AdamMcA01909028]

Why don't you hear our need? Why is there such silence? Delay hurts us! Do what is necessary and save ourselves this suffering! Please and Thank you @DHSgov @USCIS #releasethevisas #H2B #saveH2B

[H2BLawyer @H2BLawyer]

If someone could give me the reason 33,000 visas per cycle (66,000 total) was the chosen number, that would be great. Also, please confirm that the factors that went into this decision are static/unchanging since this decision. #h2b #releasethevisas #saveh2b #h2bvisa

[Seasonal Employment Alliance @SEA_labor]

Does @LIUNA realize that @USDOL has an online jobs bank where their union members can apply for the #H2B jobs?

[Nick Brummel @brummel_n]

@SEA_labor @LIUNA @USDOL I have over 20 openings in KCMO @LIUNA let’s talk if you have the people! If not bring in H2B visas, we need the labor!

[Chris Ponzani @chrisponzani]

@SEA_labor @LIUNA @USDOL If I could just throw pixie dust out, and all of the sudden the young people would storm into our place of business and want to do seasonal landscaping work, just like past years. Wow would that be great.
They're Not Living in Reality.

[Franklin Graham @Franklin_Graham]

Donald Trump became president not to make money, but to do his best to preserve the great things about this nation for future generations. He put America first. I’ve never seen anyone work harder. Thank you President Trump for your service to this nation.

[Horstmann Brothers @HorstmannBros]

@HawleyMO @RoyBlunt @USDOL it’s time the US take a long look at herself in the mirror. Our work ethic has changed. We need seasonal labor to timely complete the Seasonal jobs that US workers no longer want @SaveH_2B release the seasonal visas now!!

[Horstmann Brothers @HorstmannBros]

@HawleyMO @RoyBlunt I’m being penalized because of the lack of seasonal @saveH2B work visas due to actions taken by our Fed Gov... BIG GOV it’s wrong it’s in the way let FREE enterprise Ring release the additional visas!
I need ppl who WANT TO WORK!!
