If Bernie become labor secretary, kiss the H-2A, H-2B, H-1B, L-1, J-1, and other visas goodbye. https://twitter.com/Reddy/status/1319385486155198464
He'll load them up with so many costly regulations, absurd wage requirements, and inspections that it will be economical for firms to use them.
Trump's current H-1B IFR would be a a low starting point compared to what Bernie would do.
Those visas aren't perfect, bunch of problems, but the solution is to allow full portability (or as much as possible) and not more DoL rules.

I'll tell you what, get rid of all of these temporary visas in exchange for 8x more green cards and expand the green card categories for employment purposes to low and mid skilled workers. Exempt their immediate family members from any caps. I'd take that.
