President Donald Trump’s administration will add 65,000 H-2B seasonal guest worker visas through September 30. The Federal Register notice said these extra visas will be available to employers facing severe financial hardship because of a lack of US workers, Reuters reported. This addition roughly doubles the yearly quota of 66,000 visas. Businesses in sectors such as construction, hospitality, landscaping, and seafood processing will benefit as they often struggle to find enough workers. The temporary rule for the extra visas will be officially published in the Federal Register on Tuesday. Trump’s 2025 immigration policies have tightened immigration, portraying illegal immigrants as criminals and a burden to communities. His administration also restricted legal immigration with travel bans and more asylum case reviews. Earlier, President Joe Biden and Trump himself had expanded visa numbers during his 2017-2021 term. Seasonal businesses like hotels welcomed more visas, while some construction companies had complained of worker shortages during Trump’s stringent immigration rules. However, some groups opposing high immigration argued that more visas lower wages for US workers. Trump also made it tougher for tech companies to get workers through the H-1B visa program by adding a $100,000 fee, sparking legal challenges.
