s working as fish processors from the numerical limitation on H-2B nonimmigrant visas. The H-2B visa program allows employers in the United States to hire foreign workers for temporary non-agricultural jobs. However, there is a numerical cap on the number of visas that can be issued each year, which has caused issues for industries such as seafood processing that rely heavily on foreign labor. This bill seeks to address this issue by permanently exempting aliens working as fish processors from the numerical limitation on H-2B visas. This would allow seafood processing companies to continue hiring foreign workers without being subject to the annual cap on visas. Supporters of the bill argue that this exemption is necessary to ensure that seafood processing companies have an adequate workforce to meet the demands of their industry. They also argue that foreign workers play a crucial role in filling labor shortages in this sector. Opponents of the bill may argue that it could potentially take away job opportunities from American workers and that the H-2B visa program should be reformed or eliminated altogether. Overall, Bill 119 s 1292 is a piece of legislation that seeks to address the unique needs of the seafood processing industry by permanently exempting aliens working as fish processors from the numerical limitation on H-2B visas.
