Each year these women come back to Maryland because they know the shore and they know Clayton. they know Phillips. and they know they will have a place to live. a bus that will take them to church. access to translators and in some places they are even able to learn English. First. it is one sister and then another sister coming to the Eastern Shore for a few months a year to make money so they can take care of their families and communities back home. Some of you may ask. "why do we need this extension since the bill has a temporary guest worker program?" We need to make sure we do not forget the needs of small and seasonal businesses in this immigration debate. I welcome the guest worker program that is before the Senate. Once the program is up and running. it will help augment the H2B program. But that is going to take time. We need to make sure that there is no interruption so that companies can meet their hiring needs.
