    BOISE – Stone cutters from Mexico, food service workers from France and Indonesia, even a couple of Sun Valley ski instructors from Austria all are able to work in Idaho thanks to a special guest worker visa program that Congress has now cut off.

    Hi there Miguelina!

    Hmmm, interesting dilemma.

    Is the H2-a limited to Agriculture-related jobs? Hmm, I thought so - maybe I'm wrong... H2-b is the seasonal work visa IIRC.

    The only problem with all this as I see it, is, they are speaking only of allowing people IN and/or in which numbers, but not addressing in any way the provisions for ensuring that the same people LEAVE when they are supposed to (eg. exit tracking)

    40% of all persons in the US illegally are Visa Overstays (VOs)
    Can I coin the acronym here? Oooh, I guess I just did!
