Description

U.S. employers in various industries argue that they need to hire foreign workers to perform lower-skilled jobs, while others maintain that many of these positions could be filled by U.S. workers. Under current law, certain lower-skilled foreign workers, sometimes referred to as guest workers, may be admitted to the U.S. to perform temporary service or labor under two temporary worker visas: the H-2A visa for agricultural workers and the H-2B visa for nonagricultural workers. Both programs are administered by the Dept.of Homeland Securityäó»s (DHS) U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (DHS/USCIS) and the Dept. of Laboräó»s (DOL) Employment and Training Admin. (DOL/ETA). Contents of this report: Does the U.S. Need to Import Foreign Lower-Skilled Workers?; Current Guest Worker Visas; Unauthorized Employment; Legislative Reform Efforts; Policy Considerations; Conclusion. Figures and tables. This is a print on demand report.
