Urging Congress to reform the federal guest worker program.
Texas Senate Concurrent Resolution 50 urges Congress to reform the federal guest worker program (H-2A and H-2B visas). It highlights that the H-2B visa cap is consistently reached early each year, causing labor shortages in critical sectors like agriculture, construction, and hospitality, and pushing some employers toward undocumented workers. The resolution requests Congress streamline the program to prevent these shortages without undermining U.S. worker wages or conditions.
