The Murky Origins of the H-2B Program ’s Prevailing Wage Rule
ConclusionThe strange and complex regulatory history of the H-2B program ’s prevailing wage requirement highlights the importance of Congress offering clearer immigration statutes, and courts not allowing as much discretion to the administration to invent immigration requirements that Congress did not impose. However, a future administration will still have substantial latitude to improve the prevailing wage requirement for the H-2B program.[1] See Section 101(a)(15)(H) and Section 214(c) ofPublic law 82 –414[2] See Section 101(a)(15)(H) and Section 214(c) ofPublic law 82 –414[3]17 FR 10013 (November 6, 1952) co...

Where Do K-1 Visa Holders Come From?
Syed Farook and Tashfeen Malik were killed last week in a gun battle with police after they committed a mass shooting in San Bernardino, California.
