Secret deal quadruples foreign workers in U.S.
WND ^ | Dec 16, 2015 | Leo Hohmann

Posted on 12/16/2015 10:44:27 PM PST by Ray76

Buried in the 2,000-page omnibus spending bill released by the Senate Wednesday morning is a secret provision that many senators hope unemployed blue-collar workers won't find out about.

This provision would quadruple the number of H-2B visas for low-skilled foreign "guest workers."

House Speaker Paul Ryan, R-Wisc., reportedly helped negotiate the omnibus deal. The spending bill also includes full funding for President Obama's refugee resettlement program, which will cost $1.6 billion and bring in another 85,000 refugees this year, many of them from jihadist hotbeds like Syria, Somalia, Iraq and Afghanistan.

"At a time when the civilian labor force participation rate in the U.S. is approximately 62.4%, now is not the time to advance legislation further depressing wages and employment for U.S. workers," Sessions said in a letter to the chairs of the Senate appropriations committee.

"The bill also funds sanctuary cities and illegal alien resettlement, allows the president to continue issuing visas to countries that refuse to repatriate violent criminal aliens, and funds the president's ongoing lawless immigration actions - including his unimpeded 2012 executive amnesty for alien youth.

They are selling our citizens out. That is about as un-American as it gets.

What the hell are they thinking?

H2, huh ?

So now they claim we can't even get enough low skill workers.

Fascist crony capitalists, to a man.

The effing congress goons of both ‘parties’ just rubber stamp anything and everything the president puts in front of them.

There is, quite simply, no such thing as representative government in the US anymore.

The democans and republicrats slap each other on the back, give each other bl*w jobs in the cloak room, then scratch their noggins and wonder why the country is sick to death of the whole pack of ‘em.

Meanwhile, Mr. and Mrs. John Q. Public work like dogs all year long to feed themselves and their families, and maybe put aside a little for a rainy day, only to have it confiscated to pay the freight for these government reprobates.

The whole thing has become little more than a huge scam.

Why is everyone so upset over this? They demanded we elect ‘lesser evil’. So this is the lesser evil they demanded.

What? Does ‘no matter what” suddenly not mean ‘no matter what”? You lesser evil voters got your wish. You got unprincipled people elected. No matter what. Now sit down, shut up and enjoy tasting the fruit of your labor. You elected the people that passed this after their leadership campaigned on working with Obama.

As for people who understand now that they made a bad mistake, Just remember there’s an election coming. When the ongoing liberals here demand more lesser evil in 16, you are free to tell them to go straight to hell where they belong. LOUDLY tell them.

And where they are determined to drag America through their actions.

They don’t seem to care about our livelihoods or our safety. This is why Trump is so huge.

Ted Cruz will be happy because this is more of the “legal” immigration he’s been harping for.

Ted Cruz is all onboard with increasing legal immigration, because, you know, we need more:

You’re right; they are trying to build a nation of a billion people to compete with Red China & India, and since we’re barely reproducing ourselves they’ll just traffic them from elsewhere. The left has so successfully diluted the national identity forged especially in the first half of the last century that it should be easy for them to continue their balkanization campaign. While we squabble with each other, unrecognizable dark hordes are being trafficked here to inherit the Earth - literally.

The first way to put an end to this is:
Mobilize 3,000,000 patriots marching on all our land’s capitols in a Grand act of protest.
1% of our 300 Million population can raise awareness to put an end to our politician’s treason.
They only see the light, when they feel the heat.
Our apathy is killing us.
