Advocates of stricter limits on immigration criticised the additional visas, saying American workers should get job openings. Trump, a former New York real estate magnate who has relied on seasonal workers at his hotels and resorts, campaigned on promises to restore American jobs. Federal officials said there were not enough qualified and willing American workers available to perform certain types of temporary nonagricultural work. Beck said it was "yet another example of the administration and Congress failing to keep the Trump campaign promise of putting American workers first." Kelly has acknowledged that many temporary workers "are victimised when they come up here, in terms of what they’re paid."
