Two GOP legislators are introducing legislation to let states annually import 500,000 foreign blue-collar workers and white-collar professionals to replace Americans who have fallen out of the workforce and into drug addiction.
The American replacement bill is needed because companies can’t hire the employees they want amid the massive decline in the number of Americans who are seeking work, Wisconsin Sen. Ron Johnson told an event hosted Wednesday by the CATO Institute.
“Why can’t Wisconsin manufacturers, why can’t small businesses, find enough people to work?” Johnson asked during a speech in a Senate hearing room with supporters of the replacement bill. He continued:
You got to ask those hard questions… it is not going to be a government program that is going to solve that [worker decline], but smart government policy, things like the bill we’re going to be introducing with the help of CATO today … is a really good direction to move. Give a it a shot. Let’s see how much better the states do. My guess is that they will do a whole lot better than a one-size-fits-all federal [foreign worker] program.
The bill would allow states to each get 5,000 visas for additional foreign workers per year, plus a population-based share of another 245,000 visas, plus a share of any visas not used by other states. The inflow of foreign workers would start at 495,000 in the first year, not counting the additional family members of each imported worker.
The bill would also create an amnesty, because the visas could be given to 11 million plus illegals living in the United States, including those who returned to the United States after being deported.

So who would replace these half million workers that get hooked on drugs and drop out also?
At this point I am not sure whether to laugh or cry.
Exactly.
Exactly.
We need a “Get Your Ass Off The Couch” bill to cut-off welfare benefits to any able-bodied person under retirement age.
Sorry for the double post! But maybe I concur doubly!

Perhaps we need a citizenship exchange where a foreign worker would buy out the citizenship of someone who doesn’t want to support themselves and they swap countries. This way our net population growth will be zero.
This is the “Democrats Looking For Slaves” bill.
I could go along with this 10 years after the government teet is removed from those who have enough government-provided disposable income to buy drugs and stay unemployed. Until then, HELL NO!
What kind of enablers have we been electing? Do they really think they have dumbed us down enough to find this acceptable? For real?
or CUSS.
Great minds.... See my post #12.
Draft away. I’ll be calling on the president to veto it.
Not without importing replacement Senators.
Talk about back-door "comprehensive open-the-doors immigration", topped with an out an out lie about "states making the choice."
I question the sanity of people who follow the laws made by these nitwits. I can understand following on threat of violence, but that's about it.
Meanwhile good well -qualified Americans who want to work can’t even get interviews
They claim they have a disease and are not "able bodied"; the system is too easy to game. We need to eliminate welfare programs across the board, let private charity and go-fund-me handle the real cases. Most of what is wrong with America is due to not permitting people to face the consequences of their life choices.
