Subject: Blue Page Discussion Item for February 26th, 2009 - H2-B Visas
February 2009
For the February 26th, 2009 Commission Meeting.
Discussion regarding the H2-B Seasonal Visa Program.
How extensive is the use of H2-B visas in Miami -Dade County? H2-B visas are only supposed
to be issued for seasonal work and only when no local workers are available.
Is the Department of Labor acting responsibly?
Are local unemployed workers and are local underemployed workers losing job opportunities?
Resolution to be discussed banning the City and/or City vendors and/or City contractors from
using workers in the H2-B visa program.
Commissioner Marc D. Sarnoff
District 2
City of Miami
