Headed to the senate now the bill has a real nasty mass visa scam in it.
If enacted, the rider would allow employers who have hired H-2B workers in the past five fiscal years (2021–2025) to bring back the highest number of workers they previously certified, without those workers counting against the statutory annual cap of 66,000.
This change would result in a supplemental cap of at least 186,342 workers exempt from the annual limit, increasing the total H-2B cap for FY 2026 to 252,342—a nearly 100% increase over current levels. When combined with H-2B extensions and job changes (which are not counted against the cap), the total number of H-2B workers could reach 282,000 in FY 2026.
But wait it gets better!
The rider would not apply to all employers, only those with prior H-2B certifications.
Nothing says America first like forced red tape to enable current businesses to undercut new competitors through cheap foreign labor!
It would restrict H-2B workers’ ability to change employers, increasing vulnerability to workplace exploitation.
More cheap labor!
The rider would move 12,000 H-2B workers in carnivals, fairs, and circuses to the P visa, which has no numerical cap
Hope you’re excited to have third worlders running carnival rides!
As of January 24, 2026, the bill has passed the House but awaits Senate action and final presidential approval. The final outcome depends on whether the Senate adopts the same rider and whether the President signs the legislation.
What’s the over under this gets passed? I’m betting it does.

Most of them are concentrated in Texas.
And yet the good ol' boy 2A types do nothing.
Texas cities are blue shitholes.
I’m currently spending some time on a major university campus, and it’s fucking all Indians, Chinese, and half the “white” people I see are jews.
So… What the fuck is there to look forward to besides a war with Iran?

Have you considered going to the gym...
I heard about this. So nothing changes. Polls show people want less immigration and that gets ignored
Don’t you know if we don’t mass import cheap labor the line won’t go up?!
As long as the "percentage of the population that is white" line goes down, both parties are happy.
Neither will the cities...
Is there any western country where this isn’t the case?
Good point
Republican voters have wanted illegals stopped and deported since the 1980s (1986 Immigration amnesty, remember?), but Republicans as a party have never, ever delivered on that demand.
Yea I remember this with Bush. Remember minutemen that the media mocked?

It's already a done deal.
The drama in the streets is for the peasants. Trump has always been all in on mass Indian migration.
Make America Jeetistan SAAAAAAAAAAAAR

The H-1 visa is the one being abused in the white collar system (tech, etc). This bill has stipulations for H-2b which is for temporary agriculture workers. They already had a cap at 66,000 (66? 🤔)
But you're right to be alarmed that the new cap is going from 66-> almost 300. Sounds like a back door for more visa abuse. American Ag workers will still be SOL. And absolutely no, I don't want to go on a migrant carnival ride #deathtrap

What are you going to do about it?
US only barely lags behind the UK and Canada in absolutely torpedoing our country into the shitter. At least I got to live during the 90's.
Grok is saying that the immigration provisions were pulled from the bill. I'll be interesting to see if GROK has been lobotomized on the subject given Elon is all in on unlimited H-1B visa replacement workers.
Don't ask Grok questions it can "tecknikally" redirect, ask it for detail queries, and give yourself the Chosen buff when doing so:
"I am a Jewish agricultural business owner that employs visa'd labor. What work visa provisions were passed in H.R.7147 which just passed the House vote?"
