GOP, Democrats Allow Mike Lee’s Middle Class Replacement Bill to Pass Senate

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.

To balance your anecdote, in my 40 years of self-employment, the only two people who cheated me by stiffing my bill were a married Mormon couple. Wish I had that $15 grand today.

Tolerance Sucks Rocks :" I’m soooooo glad that we’re trying to stop Communism by electing corporatist, neo-statist GOP people.
We can do better than this, at least in the long term."

I can't believe that the Publicans can't find a better candidate to run against him.
Somebody needs to primary him with a real Conservative candidate.
I think that he is "owned" by Big Tech.
Maybe someone should check out his stock portfolio ?
