The problem I haveand the nature of the amendment I will speak to brieflybut I have reached out to the Department of Homeland Security to ask a series of questions. and I simply havent received answers. That is why I decided to offer an amendmentor to file the amendment. DHS has refused to issue more work visas. even though the statutory cap of used visas has most likely not been reached. DHS claims the cap has been reached. and that is really odd because it is unusually early for them to take that position. This is what I think the real truth is. Not every business applying for these visas is using them. DHS normally approves more visas so we make it more likely that we reach the cap. but we dont believe they have done that this year. That is why we have asked for an audit. to make sure we know how many applications were actually approved. how many visas are actually used by the State. within the State. and how many of those visas are actually putting legal. migrant. immigrant workers into these jobs. This year. they havent even done an audit. We simply want to know why.
