Washington, D.C. – Congressman Vicente Gonzalez (TX-34), a member of the House Financial Services Committee, sent a letter demanding that the Chief Executive Officers (CEOs) of Expedia Group, Booking.com, Airbnb, Priceline and Tripadvisor Group address an alarming pattern of failures, deceptions, and consumer abuse practices from Online Travel Agents (OTAs), which serve as intermediaries between consumers and suppliers.

Washington, D.C. – Today, Congressman Vicente Gonzalez (TX-34) urged President Donald Trump, U.S. Department of Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin, U.S. Department of Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins, and U.S. Department of Labor Acting Secretary Keith Sonderling to protect the domestic shrimping industry in South Texas and across the nation. Specifically, the letter pushes Trump and his Administration to immediately address widespread labor shortages in the industry by releasing more H-2A or H-2B visas for employers who already have an approved H-2B Temporary Labor Certification but are unable to secure workers due to current visa caps.
