The Trump administration plans to let an additional 30,000 people return to the U.S. through September for seasonal work.

President Trump’s Mar-a-Lago resort in Florida is among the businesses that use H-2B visas to hire migrants for temporary work they say Americans won’t do.

U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services will begin taking applications from employers on behalf of the workers once the temporary rule is published in the Federal Register. That is expected Wednesday. Within the White House, advisor Stephen Miller and others want to restrict immigration, including reducing visas for high-skilled workers and suspending or limiting entry to the United States for individuals from countries with high rates of short-term visa overstays.

Trump said in his State of the Union speech this year that he wanted people “to come into our country in the largest numbers ever, but they have to come in legally.” The debate has played out in Congress too. Two bipartisan groups sent letters to the Homeland Security Department: one urged an increase in the number of temporary visas and the other expressed concern over a possible increase.

He said his department wants lawmakers “to pursue a long-term legislative fix that both meets employers’ temporary needs while fulfilling” Trump’s executive orders to “buy American” and “hire American.”According to the most recent government data on visa approvals, half of the temporary visas went to horticultural and agricultural workers. Food service, forestry and logging work and fisheries, hunters and trappers made up the bulk of the rest of the 2017 visas.
