In another tweet on November 18, he discussed efforts to address labor shortages by advocating for an increase in H-2B visas alongside Rep. Andy Harris and urged action from the Department of Homeland Security (DHS). He reported: "With chronic labor shortages across the country, I joined @RepAndyHarrisMD in urging @DHSgov for an increase in H-2B visas – granted only if there are insufficient U.S. workers to fill the positions.
