GOP Sen. Mike Lee’s (R-UT) revised S.386 Indian-giveaway bill makes a huge change in immigration law to help more than 600,000 Indians.
But Mike Lee’s bill also may allow investors to flood the white-collar labor market with at least 100,000 extra foreign college-graduate workers each year.
The complex S.386 bill was changed during closed-door negotiations with Sen. Dick Durbin (D-IL). The changes favor India’s huge workforce in the United States by removing the so-called “country caps,” which were designed to encourage immigraiton by a diversity of nationalities. This change means that the resident population of 300,000 Indian workers and their 300,000 family members get a fast-track to green cards and citizenship.
But the bill also creates a new legal status where imported workers could get a renewable work permit once their employers help to file an I-140 request for green cards. This change would effectively give Indians and other visa workers all of the workplace benefits of U.S. citizenship while they wait years for their green cards.
The work permit change is potentially good news for employers and investors because it encourages foreign graduates to flood into U.S jobs and so push down white-collar salaries. The flood would also be good for India’s government because it could help more Indians get U.S jobs and move more U.S. jobs back to India via the shared U.S.-India Outsourcing Economy.
But skeptics say that immigration law is so complex, and migrants are so determined that even slight changes can have huge unforeseen impacts. In 2008, for example, Congress unanimously passed a law, which now allows hundreds of thousands of “Unaccompanied Alien Children” to legally travel to their illegal-immigrant “parents” in the United States.

Lee sure is showing who is buttering his bread these last few months by supporting expansion of rules to import more foreigners to push qualified Americans out of work. Un-American bastard, he is.
Trump needs to veto this if it goes anywhere besides the congressional toilet.
Bush League Republicans MUST become extinct before the Republic does.
Dead on Arrival
wtf Utah!
No doubt this traitor has been bribed.
The contempt I have for these people is beyond description
I am seeing 6-figure job offers for H1B workers and lay offs for those born in America with over 20 years of experience at the same company.
They say there isn’t the skill set around
I don’t see it
Gotta keep those wages LOW! Death to the middle class!!
Someone thinks he has leverage. ...
This sawed-off runt is owned by someone, as in he’s not his own man.
I despise this clown.
The line bred Jack Mormon Mike Lee is an arrant, craven, cowardly poltroon and a miserable turd to boot. What is it with those brave individualists from the Great Basin? Why do they vote for scum like Mike Lee?
You and me both. This Lee character is OBVIOUSLY bought and PAID FOR. He is bound and determined to sell out Americans to the Cheap Labor Lobby. At all costs. The Loser doesn’t even attempt to hide his Foreign Labor Agenda. He submits these proposals again and again and again.
The issue is, is he in line with his Utah voters? Perhaps he is. If so, Utah voters are a problem we have to deal with and NOT just Senator Lee.
No! Lee and Nunes are both trying to sneak through AMNESTY in Indian worker and farm worker amnesty bills. Do they think they can sneak this through while everyone is distracted with the impeachment farce. Does Nunes think he gets a pass because he is supporting Trump. Will Trump sign both as part of some quid pro quo to defend him?
Mike lee is a globalist RINO.... no better than Mittens
Mike Lee is a crook and a fraud - period - end of sentence.
Anything Mike Lee wants, I don’t.
OK so how is he going to find out how we feel?
Does he read our posts or do WE NEED TO CONTACT HIM???
