Summary
Acute Labor Shortage Solutions Act of 2022 This bill authorizes the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) to exempt non-U.S. nationals ( aliens under federal law) from certain annual caps on admission upon a determination that, due to an acute labor shortage, the needs of American businesses in certain sectors cannot be met with American workers.
