El número de personas admitidas en el programa se ha disparado en los últimos años, ya que la rápida contratación después de la pandemia y la baja tasa de desempleo han dejado a muchos agricultores luchando por encontrar trabajadores locales.El año pasado, alrededor de 370,000 personas fueron admitidas con visas H-2A, el doble que en 2016 y cinco veces más que en 2005, dijeron funcionarios del Departamento de Trabajo. Sin embargo, a medida que la popularidad del programa ha crec...
