Need for Visas to Protect Migrant Crab Pickers

On the Eastern Shore, crab picking houses are relying on immigrant women to do necessary work. However, these women are often forced to pay foreign recruiters for low-paying jobs. A report is now out that is asking for changes to the visa program used by these workers. The current program ties the women to the job for which they are recruited and will not allow them to work elsewhere. The changes to the H-2B visa program would not tie the workers to one employer, which will allow workers to leave abusive working conditions and still benefit from employment in the U.S.
