Homeland
Security
(DHS)
said
13,500
of
the
newly
available
visas
will
go
to
people
who
had
H-2B
status
within
the
last
three
years.
The
remaining
6,500
will
be
reserved
for
people
from
El
Salvador,
Guatemala,
Haiti,
and
Honduras.
This
will
hopefully
open
additional
pathways
for
people
to
receive
immigration
status.


This
fact
sheet
from
the
American
Immigration
Council
provides
basic
information
about
how
H-2B
visas—and
the
employment-based
U.S.
immigration
system
as
a
whole—works.

ACROSS THE NATION
*
U.S.
Customs
and
Border
Protection
(CBP)
has
a
troubled
history,
rife
with
misconduct
and
impunity.
While
the
agency’s
problematic
enforcement
tactics
usually
are
associated
with
the
southern
U.S.
border,
its
agents
operating
along
the
northern
border
also
warrant
investigation.


The
American
Immigration
Council
and
Advocates
for
Basic
Legal
Equality
(ABLE)
filed
a
lawsuit
under
the
Freedom
of
Information
Act
(FOIA)
to
obtain
information
about
CBP’s
immigration
enforcement
activities
in
northern
Ohio—
where
CBP
operates
a
headquarters
near
the
Canadian
border
and
the
agency
has
been
tight-lipped
about
its
operations
there.

QUOTE OF THE WEEK
“With Congress not making any major changes in the immigration space right now, regulations are often the best way to make lasting change in the way the laws are interpreted within the department.”
– Aaron Reichlin-Melnick, policy counsel at the American Immigration Council [[link removed]]
