In an interview with Bloomberg Law, Joshua Viau helped preview oral arguments in a case involving Maine’s attempt to limit the use of foreign guestworkers in the state. The outcome could determine whether states can restrict the employment of people with guestworker visas that were approved by the federal government.
Josh explained that there are not currently any state laws in effect that specifically limit the use of foreign guestworkers where expressly allowed by federal law. And he added that “[g]roups who have long sought to limit the use of the H-2A program are watching this case to see if the state regulation is a viable path to reduce the use of guest workers.”
