Please call your three Members of Congress with the following messages:
* I urge you to oppose any efforts to expand the H-2B visa program in the FY2017 spending bills. The provision included in last year’s omnibus bill exempted returning workers, potentially quadrupling the number of H-2B visas issued. These visas are given to low-skilled foreign workers to fill temporary or seasonal jobs, but these are the very jobs that American workers with a high school degree or less depend on. Please allow this expansion to expire on Sept. 30.
* Pres. Obama is demanding that Congress fund the resettlement of 110,000 refugees in FY2017 despite warnings from FBI Director James Comey that refugees from terrorist-sponsoring nations cannot be fully vetted. Please include a moratorium on refugee resettlement from terrorist-sponsoring nations in the upcoming continuing resolution.
You can reach your Members of Congress by calling the Capitol Switchboard at (202) 224-3121. When the operator answers, simply ask to be connected to your U.S. Representative’s or Senators’ office. If your unsure of your Members’ names, the switchboard operator can look it up using your zip code.
We’ve also posted a new fax to your Action Board, urging Congress to oppose an extension of the H-2B provision for FY2017.
