DHS suspends increase in guest-worker visas after Fox News segment

Tucker Carlson spotlighted move amid massive spike in unemployment

 

Hours after Fox News host Tucker Carlson criticized the Department of Homeland Security for increasing H-2B guest worker visas amid an economic crisis, DHS has reversed course.

On Wednesday night, Carlson reported DHS was granting a total of 35,000 "bonus visas" in addition to the 66,000 H-2B visas the federal government must allow each year by law.

Calling the move a "threat to our country," he pointed out the forecasts of as high as 32% unemployment amid the coronavirus pandemic.
