Green Card Giveaway for Big Tech, Backed by NRCC Chair Tom Emmer, May Get Spotlight in Lame Duck Congress

Beltway lobbyists are hoping a lame duck Congress rams through a green card giveaway for the nation’s largest tech conglomerates that would hugely reward them for rapidly outsourcing American jobs to foreign visa workers.

The EAGLE Act, a rebranded version of Big Tech’s S.386, is sponsored by Rep. Zoe Lofgren (D-CA) — who represents Silicon Valley’s tech elite — and has the backing of 75 other House Democrats and eight House Republicans including National Republican Congressional Committee (NRCC) Chair Rep. Tom Emmer (R-MN).

Emmer’s office did not respond to a request for comment by Breitbart News.

Before all midterm election races are called, Capitol Hill is already abuzz with pressure from lobbyists that a lame duck Congress ought to pass the green card giveaway.

Among the most prominent measures, the green card giveaway would reward tech corporations for having imported mostly Indian nationals on H-1B visas to take white-collar American jobs and ensure hundreds of thousands of those visa workers are fast-tracked into employment-based green cards and, in five years, eligible for naturalized United States citizenship.

Tech corporations would likely be the largest beneficiaries as only employment-based green cards would likely go to foreign H-1B visa workers under the green card giveaway. For years, American tech workers have told Breitbart News they are terrified of the rapid outsourcing and job discrimination that would ensue as a result of the plan.

Curious. There’s a big layoff of Tech coming.

I got laid off from my tech job. People are hiring, but they take forever. 80% of the recruiter calls are from people with think east Indian accents. Frustrating, and I just want a job, not a crazy high salary.

This TURKEY Act is an example of where the Republican “leadership” stands. They are owned by big monied interest groups. They don’t care that they are driving wages down by importing millions of third-worlders. These corrupt congress critters come to Washington with a modest net worth; they leave years later worth millions. If McCarthy and McConnell are reelected leaders, absolutely nothing will change.

This is what is wrong with the GOP.

The democrats flood the country with cheap unskilled labor that takes jobs from the blue collar workers.

Here’s Tommy. I’d never heard of the guy before today. I have seen two different articles laying out what a worthless Rino POS this Mofo is.
