WASHINGTON — Four Republican senators asked President Donald Trump to suspend further issuance of guest worker visas until next year or"until employment has returned to normal levels" because of the coronavirus pandemic's impact on the economy.
The senators, Tom Cotton of Arkansas, Ted Cruz of Texas, Josh Hawley of Missouri and Chuck Grassley of Iowa, argued in a letter dated May 7, firston by Politico, that the visa suspensions would be"critical to protecting American workers as our economy gets back on its feet." They requested a halt to all non-immigrant guest worker visas for 60 days, with exceptions granted for agriculture and other critical industries.
They urged Trump in their letter to"keep the American worker in mind" and"limit the importation of unnecessary guest workers" while the economy recovered.
