The House GOP leaders’ weekly address to voters tried to memory-hole the House’s lopsided November 19 passage of a bill to slightly restrict Muslim immigration from Syria–by touting an uncontroversial call for a modest reform of travel visas.
The complex bill is a gift to donors and businesses because it allow them to reduce wages, thus justifying their demand for cheaper H-2B visa workers. It also provides a huge loophole that technically keeps the current annual cap of 66,000 H-2B workers — but excludes from the cap any H-2B workers who got a H-2B visa in the prior three years. That clever loophole would allow employers to simultaneously hire up to four years of H-2B workers, or 264,000 foreign workers in place of 264,000 Americans.
