It does not raise the annual cap of 66.000. My amendment provides a helping hand to business by letting them apply for workers they have already trained and know will come back again year after year but return home year after year. It only applies to those who have already successfully participated in the H2B visa program. They have received a visa and returned home to their families after their employment with a U.S. company. This is not a new H2B. It is essentially a 3year exemption to allow those who have come back in and returned home to come back again. most often to the same employer like employers in my State of Maryland who work in the seafood industry. The H2B program has kept small and seasonal business doors open when they face seasonal worker shortages that many coastal and resort States have been dealing with over years. Small businesses across this country count on the H2B program to keep their business afloat. When they cannot find local American workers to fill their seasonal needs. they then turn to the H2B. Without being able to get the seasonal workers they need. these businesses would often go under. These businesses do try to hire American workers.
