This is exactly what my provision was intended to do to help alleviate our workforce shortage. The arrival of these H-2B workers is positive news, and I appreciate the One Guam effort we are making to resolve Guam\u2019s labor challenges. I look forward to more workers coming to Guam to ease the pressure on our construction industry. I am committed to working in Congress to build on this progress and providing a broad solution that will benefit our entire civilian community outside the fence.\u201d <strong>(PR)<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>WASHINGTON, D.C.\u2014Delegate Madeleine Z.
