As the Trump administration tries to change the U.S. immigration system, lobbying on immigration issues has ramped up to a near-record level.
The number of companies, trade groups or other organizations that disclosed efforts to influence Washington on immigration matters reached 646 last year — just below 2013’s all-time high of 647.
The heightened activity is shown in the adjacent chart, which draws on disclosures analyzed by OpenSecrets.org, a website tracking money in politics that’s run by the nonpartisan Center for Responsive Politics. Microsoft disclosed a similar focus with its first-quarter report, saying it has lobbied on highly skilled immigrants and DACA.
“Like many companies, BrightView seeks to make its voice heard in Washington on issues of importance to our company,” said Fred Jacobs, BrightView’s vice president for communications and public affairs. “H-2B allows companies like BrightView to supplement our U.S. workforce in times of peak demand for labor. Our lobbying on this issue stresses the importance of H-2B to our business and the need for permanent H-2B visa cap relief.
