Voters Agree: Legal Immigrant Workers Benefit America

Job one on immigration is to secure the border.

Job two is to get visas for the immigrants we need and who help make our economy more prosperous.  This includes H1b tech/specialty skill workers and H2b seasonal workers.

This latter category includes:

Housekeepers, gardeners, hotel/restaurant workers, and specialty jobs such as forest management workers in western states, who protect against forest fires. They typically work four to six months here and then go home.

Our new Unleash Prosperity poll of 1,000 voters finds two-thirds support for the program among all voters and Trump supporters:

      • 69% of likely Trump voters support a structured, temporary, non-agricultural visa program and 16% oppose once informed of the program requirements
      • 55% of likely Trump voters support reforming the program to meet employer demand.

There’s nothing sinister about this program. Donald Trump’s resorts use these visas routinely, and he has correctly endorsed more worker permits for industries that prove there are not enough domestic workers available. Right now, the demand for these visas is roughly 200,000. But only 60,000 are awarded annually.

Fix this.
