* 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.
