Our guest columnist desires anonymity but provides thoughtful commentary on a work visa program gone awry. The H-2B visa, it seems, has become everyone's punching bag -- from the courts, to Congress, to the administrative agencies that implement our immigration laws, not to mention organized labor and business interests. As the final stumbling block to comprehensive immigration reform is removed – a system to provide for future flows of lower skilled workers, we can only hope that this presumed successor to the H-2B will prove more functional than the present convoluted skein it will replace."
