This is a bipartisan amendment. What does it do? First. it protects our borders by rewarding immigrants and employers who play by the rules. workers who come here on a seasonal basis but return to their families when they are finished with their job and go back home. These workers honor their legal commitment to come to work under legally supervised jobs and then they return home. No. 2. it does protect American workers by requiring that all employers recruit American workers before they hire these immigrants. and it makes sure that small business will be able to pay their U.S. workers 12 months out of the year. No. 3. it protects American jobs by keeping small and seasonal business open for business. It guarantees the labor supply that small businesses need during peak seasons is available. when they cant find Americans to take their jobs. So No. 1. it protects our borders by allowing only those in this country who intend to go back home. It supports legal immigration. It is consistent with supporting a legal framework. it only allows workers to come into this country if they have played by the rules. And you can only come in if you can prove you are going to work for a goodguy American employer who has tried to recruit American workers.
