I have to disagree; that amendment sounds every bit as terrible as this legislation.

Bernie Sanders has two goals: 1, to regulate American businesses out of business; 2, to replace the void they once filled with government.

Obviously, this “immigration” bill is a bad one because illegal aliens should be treated as such. But the fact is, sometimes (legal) foreign workers in, say, Silicon Valley, serve a useful role. It sounds as though Sanders recognizes this role and wants to remove it, with the aim of accomplishing goal no. 1 so as to pave the way for goal no. 2.

Senator Sanders’ amendment addresses preventing American businesses “outsourcing” American jobs, right here, on our own soil. They shouldn’t be allowed to fire Americans and import cheap labor to fill those jobs.
