AmericanHort writes to Chairman Dick Durbin, Chairman Jim Jordan, Ranking Member Lindsey Graham, and Ranking Member Jerry Nadler, authors of the draft Seasonal Workforce Protection Act, to urge Congress to address H-2B reform in a way that works for our members and the H-2B program. The Letter expresses concern that the draft Seasonal Workforce Protection Act was crafted without the engagement of the H-2B Workforce Coalition. AmericanHort supports H-2B visa cap relief, permanent program reform, and better coordination among the federal agencies involved in the program and expresses this in the letter.
