The Indian visa workers who helped Sen. Mike Lee come close to passing his Indian green card giveaway bill are now portraying Democrat Sen. Dick Durbin as a racist for blocking the bill.
“Senator Durbin’s argument against the bill is no different from the arguments presented by those against removing segregation and discrimination,” said an October 2 message by the group, titled Immigration Voice (IV). [...]
The bill would put roughly 300,000 Indian workers and 300,000 family members at the head of the line for green cards by discarding the decades-old, pro-diversity “country caps” rule.
The large population of Indians in the back of the line has been nominated for the green cards by their employers. The employers imported them with promises of free green cards because the employers do not want to pay good salaries to millions of American engineers, programmers, accountants, designers, and managers.
Lee’s bill would also give U.S. investors the ability to recruit even more Indian workers for U.S. jobs with promises of fast track green cards for about 100,000 more Indians a year — but only if they take jobs from American graduates. The investors — aided by Indian companies and India’s government — can legally import an unlimited number of Indian graduates via the L-1, TN, H-1B, Optional Practical Training, and B1 visa-worker programs. But recruitment for this U.S.-India Outsourcing Economy is stymied because the U.S. employers can only provide 20,000 green cards to Indian workers and spouses each year.
Many U.S. legislators have lamented the transfer of Midwestern factory jobs to China, but no Republican senators publicly oppose Lee’s giveaway bill — even though it would accelerate the nationwide transfer of office-park jobs to Indian visa-workers and India worksites.
Wealthy U.S. investors and business groups strongly back the bill. [...]

Durbin continued: 'So I think there’s a way to solve this. I went to Sen. Lee, … and I said if you will agree with me to expand legal immigration, expand the number of green cards, we can solve this problem. He said, “I don’t think we can get that done.” I said, “We can get that done if you will do it, you as a conservative helping and join me. That’s what I’m going to offer to you.”'
We need to suspend these visas indefinitely.
My daughter lost her job to Indians this way and to make it worse, she had to train the Indians to do her job.
As big as my company is on cutting costs to the marrow, I am surprised the magic indian has never appeared.
That should not be permitted.
