Not extending the H2B returning provision means that it is not worried about the millions of americans who stand on businesses using H2Bs. It is not an issue to anylyze with political perspectives, rather it's a matter of business, econimics and development. If not extended this bill, the government will not of those anymore who are waiting for its help.... 30620@http://www.washingtonwatch.com Sat, 16 Feb 2008 22:24:53 EST http://www.washingtonwatch.com/bills/show/110_SN_988.html#30378 Isn't it time that our gov't tried to help the very people that drive the American ecomony and train it citizens; small business. My small firm employees numerous Americans on a full time basis with benefits including; med,dental and 401k. The H2b program allows my firm to supplement my existing workforce during peak periods that can't be hired elseward.

These workers pay taxes, spend money and then return home. They don't use the school system or abuse medical care. They are paid a wage set by the govt which meets the local prevailing wage We can't find domestic people to do these jobs unless you use illiegals. By capping this visa - you encourage use of illegals.... 27821@http://www.washingtonwatch.com Thu, 10 Jan 2008 12:31:40 EST http://www.washingtonwatch.com/bills/show/110_SN_988.html#23769 The H-2B reform act allows seasonal workers to enter US legally, pay taxes then return home. My company doesn't directly employee any H-2B workers, however my customers do. I would most likely lose a $6,500,000 per year business that owns buildings, employees 15 AMERICAN WORKERS, pays sales and income tax on that money, if this is not passed.
