Employers, Why hire International workers?
Many employers express concerns about hiring international employees. It may be that they are simply unaware of the ease and of the benefits of hiring international workers.
Workers on H-2A and H-2B visas from Eastern Europe are highly motivated, very mature, and hard working and unlike other workers from Europe and pacific countries do not pursue these jobs for adventures or cultural exchange but a means to sustain their dear families.
Students on the J-1 visa who come to the USA are very hard working because they want to earn as much as they can during the summer vacation. 3-4 months of employment in USA can cover all the educational expense back in their countries.
USA today being global power and the global center of democracy gives a huge opportunity to for these youth to learn the American way of life. The American way of life will shape the workers and the students in their careers to success and they will always remember you with a smile and satisfaction in their souls for the opportunity you have given them
Work and Travel USA Program
The Exchange Visitors (Work and Travel) Program is sponsored by the Bureau of Educational & Cultural Affairs of the U.S. Department of State. The general purpose of this program is to expand the educational horizons of International Students, allowing them to gain a better understanding and appreciation of the US culture. CIP with its Department of State designated sponsors - assists by offering students the opportunity to work abroad during their summer holidays directly in the daily life of their host country USA, through temporary employment opportunities. All the students participating in this program have J-1 visa which permits them to work in the USA for up to 4 months (June through September) and are also provided with the health insurance.
The H-2B and H-2A Temporary Workers Program

There is a 66,000 per year limit on the number of foreign workers who may receive H-2B status during each USCIS fiscal year (October through September). H-2B visas are mainly issued for occupations e.g. tourism, construction, horticultural (landscaping), production lines, food

H-2B FAQ (source: Save Our Small and Seasonal Businesses)
Seprating Myth from Reality
Myth 1: The H-2B program takes jobs from Americans.
Reality: Employers utilizing the H-2B program go through an intensive recruitment period under the supervision of the Department of Labor. Only after each State's Workforce Agency and the U.S. Department of Labor certify that these people will not negatively impact American jobs are the workers allowed to come.
Myth 2: If there are unemployed Americans then there is no need for non-immigrant workers.
Reality: H-2B positions are short-term positions. These jobs seldom lead to full-time, gainful employment. If a presently unemployed American accepts one of these positions will be unemployed again within 3-6 months because the job has ended.
Myth 3: The H-2B program encourages illegal immigration.
Reality: The H-2B program discourages illegal immigration. This job classification offers employers the one legal means to fill peak workload job vacancies. Without the H-2B program employers would be forced to violate labor laws by hiring illegal workers in order to remain in business. The words "Non-Immigrant Worker" mean that the work does not stay in country
Myth 4: H-2B is legalized indentured servitude.
Reality: What is interesting is that many times it is the same groups screaming that Americans are being denied jobs that use this same argument as well. Most Americans are confused as to why someone from Central America or Eastern Europe would want to spend so much money to come to the US and yet make so little while they are here. What Americans cannot comprehend is that in many countries it is not uncommon for the annual family income to be less than $5,000 per year. Thus an H-2B worker can often make in 4 months what it would have taken a year for their family to make at home. It is true that H-2B workers are only allowed to work for the employer that has sponsored them. Therefore, this worker is not allowed to freely move from job to job as an American would. This however is in-place to guarantee that the worker does not displace any American workers while they are present in the US.
Myth 5: H-2B program continues the trend of "Out-Sourcing" jobs.
Reality: If anything the H-2B program should be considered "In-Sourcing" jobs. Taxes are paid to the US government, FICA is paid into the Social Security System with the employee having little hope of ever collecting, and businesses keep flowing with the essential workers they need.
Myth 6: Seasonal businesses should just pay more and then they would be able to find workers.
Reality: While it is true the more you pay the more willing people are to work:this statement is not reasonable for business. Pay should be commensurate to the tasks being performed. A business owner can pay $20 per hour to have hamburgers made, but will anyone be able to afford to buy them?
