Joe Biden to Import 20K More Foreign Workers for Blue-Collar American JobsJohn Binder 27 Jan 2022
President Joe Biden is allowing businesses to import an additional 20,000 foreign workers on the H-2B visas program to take blue-collar jobs in the United States even as 12 million Americans remain jobless and millions more are underemployed.
On Thursday, Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas said 13,500 of the H-2B visas will be for foreign nationals who previously secured the visas. The other 6,500 visas will go to foreign nationals in Haiti, El Salvador, Guatemala, and Honduras.

Currently, 12 million Americans are jobless and nearly four million are underemployed but all want full-time jobs with good wages and competitive benefits.
