Sens. Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa), Dick Durbin (D-Ill.), Tom Cotton (R-Ark.), and Richard Blumenthal (D-Conn.) requested in a letter addressed to DHS Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen and DOL Secretary Alex Acosta that both the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and the Department of Labor (DOL) provide a written report, explaining in detail their departments' decision to expand the H-2B program.
In the letter, the Senators said that Nielsen's decision last month to add an additional 15,000 H-2B guest worker visas to the 66,000 visas already issued this year will put both foreign and American workers alike "at risk."
