On September 17, the Essential Worker Immigration Coalition (EWIC), which includes ASHA as a member, sent a letter of support to Representative Lloyd Smucker (R-PA) and co-sponsors of the Essential Workers for Economic Advancement Act (H.R. 5494).

The legislation provides a practical solution to one of the most pressing challenges facing employers across the country. The Act establishes a new H-2C visa designed to fill these essential roles in a way that strengthens compliance, protects U.S. workers, enables employers to create more jobs and expands economic growth.
