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 guess I should have said not all Mormons are that way but it sure seemed like it was to us when we lived there. As for the politicians they’re an open book on their stance of rubber stamping illegals for citizenship

I’m sure the media is controlled by the church for the most part. Used to be the county of Salt Lake was a little over 50% Mormon, I’m guessing that is declining with the throngs of people moving there from the West coast.

Mike Lee would have fit right in when the Senate sold-out the middle class for NAFTA back in the 90s. They’re tools of the Chamber of Commerce.

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

True, but in my experience most H1-Bs aren't taking entry level jobs.

There is that, I wasn’t entry level any of the times I had to train my H1-B replacements...

December after an election is the time all the lobbyist bills get pushed through. Do it now so everyone will forget what happened before the next election.

White and blue collar workers need to march and rally for their job rights.

These hypocrites must have been nearly biting their tongues off the the past four years. They do not represent American people they represent their donor class.

Puppets. That is why they are strangely silent when they should be speaking up when there is something wrong.

The more converts, the more money comes into the coffers of the “temple”. The Catholic church is also enthusiastic for illegal aliens because there will be more people in the pews.

A constitutional amendment would be a good idea, but I don’t expect Congress would go for that. Maybe presidents should just let Congress, and the people, know that any bill loaded with junk would be vetoed, but often a president has an interest in a bill loaded with junk, too. It’s a corrupt and dishonest way of making law. If there is ever a convention of the states, this definitely needs to be on the agenda.

Agreed. Single-item legislation would be the best way to go.

It’s rather silly for them to exclude other people after baptism. If they wish to get other people to become Mormons, they must necessarily be more inclusive, so that they can spread their message more effectively.

The Senate passed an amended version of the Fairness for High-Skilled Immigrants Act.
