    GOP Selling Out America - The List

    123 Republicans in the Senate and House are pleading with the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Chad Wolf to bring more foreign workers to the United States to compete against working-class Americans for jobs.

    Every year, U.S. companies are allowed to import 66,000 low-skilled H-2B foreign workers to take blue-collar, non-agricultural jobs. For some time, the H-2B visa program has been used by businesses to bring in cheaper, foreign workers and has contributed to blue-collar Americans having their wages undercut.

    "We urge DHS to release the maximum number of additional visas without delay," the Senators and House members wrote. "These vital American businesses depend on the expeditious release of a sufficient number of additional visas."

    The 26 GOP Senators who signed the letter include:

    Sen. Mike Rounds (R-SD)
    Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC)
    Sen. Thom Tillis (R-NC)

    Not sure where I stand on that concept. The past few summers here the local seasonal tourist driven businesses have not been able to get enough young people to fill those jobs and had to cut back on business hours and services because of it.

    They could make it so that hiring of seasonal help doesn't affect the year around employees.
