The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) will make an additional 15,000 H-2B visas available for American companies to hire low-wage foreign workers. In a written statement on Monday, DHS Secretary John Kelly called the move a one-time increase. President Donald Trump has supported a policy called Hire American.” He wants U.S. companies to hire American workers instead of foreign ones. He has also repeatedly called to limit immigration. But a DHS spokesperson said without the extra foreign workers, some U.S. businesses could suffer irreparable harm. In order to hire foreign workers through the visa program, businesses must show there are not enough U.S. workers able, willing, qualified, and available for the jobs. The H-2B visa is a temporary work visa for foreign workers to work in the United States at non-agriculture jobs. The U.S. limits these visas to 66,000 per year. That limit has already been reached for 2017.
