Thirty-one Democratic and Republican Senators are asking the Department of Homeland Security to maximize the use of blue-collar outsourcing visas so U.S. companies can import more foreign workers instead of recruiting, training and paying unskilled U.S. workers.
Senators Bill Cassidy (R-LA), Ron Wyden (D-OR), John Cornyn (R-TX), Roy Blunt (R-MO), Chris Coons (D-DE), John Barrasso (R-WY), Michael Bennet (D-CO), Susan Collins (R-ME), Tom Carper (D-DE), Lindsey Graham (R-SC), Patty Murray (D-WA), Mike Enzi (R-WY), Amy Klobuchar (D-MN), Jerry Moran (R-KS), Angus King (I-ME), Tim Scott (R-SC), Roger Wicker (R-MS), Orrin Hatch (R-UT), Ben Cardin (D-MD), Richard Burr (R-NC), Lisa Murkowski (R-AK), James Lankford (R-OK), Johnny Isakson (R-GA), Cory Gardner (R-CO), Pat Roberts (R-KS), Mike Rounds (R-SD), Thad Cochran (R-MS), Dan Sullivan (R-AK), and Bob Casey (D-PA).

Ping...
President Trump won’t stand for this.
The Government keeps up its endless search for people who need The Government.
Our work is NONE of these freaking federal politicians’ constitutional business. These are all states’ issues.
I say get these people out of congress, check the roles for able bodied persons on welfare now sooner rather than later.
Vote them out!
31 Senators Call for more competitive pressure on American wages, to keep those wages down.
20 of the 31 are Republicans.
What? Americans not good enough for these employers or these Senators? Outrageous.
Shame them into submission.
Thank you, Breitbart.
And thanks for posting, Harley Lady.
20 of the 31 are Republicans. And I see Tim Scott on the list.... WHAT ???
Is this a joke? Importing more workers will decrease the wage of all workers. ECON 101.
No way and these names need to be spread across the media as being anti-American worker.
Well the GOP is a BIG part of the problem isn’t it?
NO, you brain-dead, RINO XOMBIES. Pull you heads out of your @$$3$.
Boy, that is one excellent list of people to vote out their next election.
Vote them all out of office, outsource them.
he bipartisan request comes three months after the shocking November vote pressured GOP leaders to slash the H-2B visa program from a one-year high of 264,000 visas back down to the long-standing level of 66,000 visas.
The request to Department of Homeland Security John Kelly also comes as a claimed shortage of H-2B is prompted recruiters to find, hire, train and retain some of the millions of young underemployed men and women who could fill the many low-status seasonal jobs in landscaping, golf course maintenance, cleanup in restaurants, seafood processing, and hotel cleaning which are often allocated to H-2B contract-workers.
Guess they did not listen to Mike Rowe:
