CONWAY  — When Democratic first-term Congressman Chris Pappas of Manchester held a meeting recently with local restaurateurs, he was told by Wally Campbell, executive director of the Valley Originals that “our local newspaper is filled with eight pages of help wanted ads,” adding, “It’s been really tough between cutbacks in the J-1 foreign student visa program and the PPP stipend.”

President Donald Trump curtailed the J-1 foreign visa program back in January when he made a proclamation suspending entry of aliens who present a risk to the U.S. labor market following the coronavirus outbreak.
