Summary: Texas RioGrande Legal Aid (TRLA) opposes the Department of Homeland Security's decision to remove a requirement from Form I-129H2A that asks employers to provide evidence that H-2A workers will not pay prohibited recruitment fees. They argue that removing this information will hamper the government's ability to enforce protections against illegal fees, especially those collected by foreign recruiters.
