GOP, Democrats Allow Mike Lee’s Middle Class Replacement Bill to Pass Senate
Breitbart ^ | 2 Dec 2020 | NEIL MUNRO

Posted on 12/03/2020 10:07:55 AM PST by Hojczyk

Every Republican and Democratic senator has let Sen. Mike Lee (R-UT) pass a bill through the Senate that will supercharge the outsourcing of the white-collar jobs needed by America’s professional class and its college-educated children.

Donald Trump won the presidency in 2016 while promising to curb immigration and the huge H-1B program, said Kevin Lynn, founder of U.S. Tech Workers, a group that opposes the visa worker programs. He can veto the bill, or he can sign this bill when it is buried in the huge coronavirus bailout bill, Lynn said, adding, “If this is what Trump wants to be his legacy, well, good luck with that.”

“They’re going to turn millions of white-collar people into blue-collar people,” said Jay Palmer, a civil-rights activist working against human trafficking and the corporate displacement of Americans.

The bill hits “doctors, accounting, insurance people, teachers, graphics designers, pharmacists … [denies] college students from ever having an opportunity to get meaningful jobs, it floods the market, draws down wages, and makes people dependent on big government,” he said.

“Ninety percent of the Senators do to know what this bill means,” he added.

Lee’s S.386 bill helps the Fortune 500 and Silicon Valley firms to annually trade green cards to 140,000 mid-skilled foreign workers in exchange for taking the starter jobs and routine jobs needed by U.S. graduates of all ages — especially as the country emerges from the coronavirus crash.

The bill is carefully designed to help the Fortune 500 companies reward their imported workforce of roughly 400,000 Indian workers who are waiting to get the green cards they expected in exchange for taking jobs from Americans years ago.

I actually knew a young Mormon lady who worked at my grocery store a number of years ago. She always dressed modestly and was one of the nicest people I ever met.

Of course, she wasn’t Harry Reid, Jeff Flake or Mitt Romney, so that might have something to do with how she was.

If the Democrats are all in for a bill, Republicans should know with a certainty that the bill is poison to the citizens of the US and inimicable to the Constitution.

Republicans or Democrats, other than Trump, will never get a vote from me again. The serve Indians and Indian tech companies, not Americans.

Although I voted for Trump, I actually hope Biden steals the election. Since I’m permanently unemployed due to S.386, I’ll need all the government handouts I can get my hands-on.

“Even the two Georgia prima donnas did not say a word against this bill.”

Loeffler and Perdue might as well be Democrats. It’s almost as if they chose the Republican party as a matter of convenience because they certainly haven’t done much to advance the conservative agenda.

Any one GOP Senator could have stopped this. Only one needed to say ‘no, let’s actually vote’. Think about that, not one of them, not even Rand Paul, stopped this.

According to Congress.gov, the last activity on S.386 was on July 9, 2019, when it was referred to the Judiciary Committee. What it Breitbart reporting?

That's a lot of work for 140K people per year to do in a population of 330M.

Maybe a touch of hyperbole, Neil?

Teddy Roosevelt started the Bull Moose party.

To preserve historical symmetry, The Donald should start the Bull in China's Shop party.

There is a suicide pandemic working-age men, who have lost their jobs and cannot afford to care for their families.

And the government is outsourcing jobs?

CRUEL. HEARTLESS. EVIL.

Maybe.

If you used the denominator of current college graduates, and not the entire population of the US, it wouldn't look quite so hyperbolic
