Political Quotes

“Great news on the economy this week: The economy added 225,000 jobs in January, and unemployment for Americans is at a 50-year low. But the booming economy has resulted in worker shortages throughout the economy, whether it is for Aubrey Vincent of Lindy's Seafood in my district or for Alan Jones at Manor View Farms.

And tens of thousands of full-time American jobs rely on the availability of sufficient temporary H-2B visa workers to meet temporary seasonal labor needs. Today, I rise to thank the Trump administration for its past decisions to release extra temporary H-2B visas.
