The Department of Labor (the Department) is amending its regulations governing the certification of the employment of nonimmigrant workers in temporary or seasonal non-agricultural employment and the enforcement of the obligations applicable to employers of such nonimmigrant workers. This Final Rule revises the process by which employers obtain a temporary labor certification from the Department for use in petitioning the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) to employ a nonimmigrant worker in H-2B status. We have also created new regulations to provide for increased worker protections for both United States (U.S.) and foreign workers.

One thing, however, hasn't changed: Most of the Southwest's chiles are still picked by hand. But if New Mexico chile farmers plan to survive - never mind prosper - they may need to discard this vestige of the past. Thanks to the North American Free Trade Agreement - which eliminated tariffs between the United States, Mexico and Canada - and the entrance of both China and India into the World Trade Organization, New Mexico's chile industry is increasingly under attack from global competition. "The number-one challenge is to mechanize," says Richard Phillips, senior project manager with New Mexico State University's (NMSU) Extension Plant Sciences. "We have now half the acreage in chile as before NAFTA, and 80 percent of the pepper products we eat in the United States are imported - that ...

For Bryan Caplan, an economist at George Mason University and author of The Myth of the Rational Voter: Why Democracies Choose Bad Policies, the minimum wage is an iconic example of the economically backwards policies favored by the foolish masses. "In theory," he writes, "democracy is a bulwark against socially harmful policies, but in practice it gives them safe harbor." Examining this "paradox" takes up the rest of the book, but his explanation is pretty simple: Voters are crazy.
The most sanguine observers say "yes" on both counts. But given that surveys consistently show that voters are distressingly ignorant about both the rudiments of policy (whether we spend more on foreign aid or social security) and politics (how many senators each state has), it's a difficult case to make. An...
