"From the Hamptons resorts to Western foresters, from Midwestern tourist centers to Sun Belt landscaping firms, thousands of businesses are being squeezed by the same, unprecedented job crunch this year as they scramble to hire the employees needed for busy spring and summer seasons. For more than a decade, they have increasingly relied on foreign workers with H-2B visas, a 1990 immigration program that allowed businesses to look outside U.S. borders for workers to fill temporary, non-agricultural jobs Americans increasingly shun." (USA TODAY) The article reveals that the "66,000 visas authorized each federal fiscal year were gone by Jan. 3 [2005]....The door slammed shut so early, that many business owners say they are unable to hire foreign workers they recruit" to fill the seasonal jobs.
