Yes, Mr. President, please keep deporting criminal illegal aliens. We're amazed that the Left is so detached from reality that they are protesting the Trump administration's evictions of the drug runners, terrorist risks, and other bad guys.
But America still desperately needs service workers who fill our employment needs. One such program is the H-2B temporary visa program for "seasonal workers." These workers come on four to nine month visas and work as waiters, chefs, gardeners, kitchen help, amusement park operators, and in the seafood industry. They come back and forth across the border LEGALLY when they are filling seasonal jobs.
In recent years, there have been about 130,000 of these visas each year.
Guess who is one of the largest users of these visas? Donald Trump and his resort properties.
This year, the H-2B base cap of 66,000 was fully reached on March 5, 2025, due to high demand, but the Trump administration appears to be delaying release of supplemental visas, which are usually announced just a few days after the cap is reached.
The White House should act soon or else Bedminster Country Club and Mar-a-Lago may have to close for lack of workers. Many of them are Eastern Europeans. They travel back to their home countries when the work period ends.
