GOP Sen. Mike Lee Predicts Quick Passage of S.386 Visa-to-Voter Bill
Breitbart ^ | 18 Dec 2019 | NEIL MUNRO

Posted on 12/19/2019 9:11:56 AM PST by NobleFree

Democrat Sen. Dick Durbin (D-IL) and GOP Sen. Mike Lee (R-UT) predicted Wednesday that they would pass their revised S.386 bill, which opens a new pathway for more foreign temporary workers to stay, take Americans’ jobs, and lobby for more green cards.

[…] Utah GOP Sen. Lee said […]:

"I’m going to make sure we’ve got the buy-in that we need [from GOP senators]. I want to make sure the [GOP] cosponsors of the legislation are comfortable with what we negotiated, and they understand it … I have every hope and expectation and confidence that this is going to result in something that can pass … and will soon pass with the unanimous support of the members of this body."

[…] the bill does create huge problems for the GOP by dramatically raising the population of foreign workers in the United States — and by reducing the number of temporary workers who go home.

If the Lee-Durbin bill passes, more foreigners will try to get jobs in the United States, and more will apply for green cards because the bill’s “Early Adjustment” benefit is open to many temporary workers, said Jessica Vaughan, policy director at the Center for Immigration Studies. She added:

'The Durbin-Lee deal might be called the “Staple a job offer and work permit to your temporary visa” bill. Under the bill, anyone on a long term temporary visa who finds a professional job will, after a wait of 270 days, be able to obtain a three-year renewable work permit and permission to travel in and out of the country. It will be a status comparable to green card status, but without having to wait in line or be restricted by annual immigration limits. It will potentially apply to hundreds of thousands of people each year' […]

Obstruction, according to the DEMs' definition of impeachable offenses.

Maybe at the next session of Congress, the GOP walks out, we give flight plans to some Saudi flight students and access to some commercial airplanes loaded with fuel, and let them take out the Capitol building.

Lee is bought and paid for by the putrid U.S. Chamber of Commerce.

Let’s hope Pres. Trump puts the full package out there. This should be part of a Comprehensive Immigration Enforcement bill, missing since 1987 ONE TIME amnesty. The List of Comprehensive Immigration Enforcement, missing since 1987 goes like this -

1) southern barrier;
2) require eVerify to hire;
3) end all chain migration;
4) birthright per Minor v. Happersett (plural parents);
5) end work visas;
6) 10-year moratorium on all new applications for citizenship (40 years to allow workplace automation effects on downsizing population);
7) Set up an illegal aliens’ victim restitution fund.

Enactment of these provisions will motivate illegal aliens to SELF-deport, and remove colonizadors from our welfare rolls.

Visa is one thing. It’s the “voter” part that raises the red flag.

It'd be nice if this latest provision spurred some GOP senator to withhold consent - but I'm not holding my breath:

'This “Early Adjustment” status gives the Indian workers a renewable work permit — and full workplace rights — even before they can get their green card or citizenship. The new status is intended to encourage the Indian workers to stay until they eventually get the hugely valuable green cards in exchange for taking jobs from Americans.'

And with the drought conditions in the Middle East and Africa, we’ll need to welcome another 80 million more refugees to prevent mass starvation.

This earth is about to plummet into absolute destruction. The USA is about the only nation barely hanging by a thread.

Immigration is a death nail.

Amen! Particularly #5 and 6.

We should get a ConCon going to get an amendment started to limit the house and senate.

Term limits, voting rules, and a maximum number of days in session, with exceptions to declare war.

All the Freepers that keep mentioning Mike Lee for the SC and saying what a great patriot he is take note.
