Fortune reports that a shortage of migrant workers is resulting in lost crops in California, triggering losses of more than $13 million in two California counties alone. Farmers say they’re having trouble hiring enough people to work during harvest season, causing some crops to rot before they can be picked. The ongoing battle about U.S. immigration policies is blamed for the shortage. The vast majority of California’s farm workers are foreign born, with many coming from Mexico through the acquisition of an H-2A visa. However, recent research indicates that more Mexican nationals are exiting the United States than entering.

USCIS reopened the FY2015 H-2B cap today, and is now accepting petitions requesting new H-2B workers with an employment start date between April 1, 2015, and September 30, 2015. The agency explained that the number of H-2B visas actually issued by the State Department was less than the number of beneficiaries seeking consular notification that had been identified on approved petitions.
