Obama rejects request to investigate guest-worker program abuse
Washington Times ^ | April 29, 2015 | Stephen Dinan

Posted on 04/30/2015 2:36:55 PM PDT by Freedom56v2

The Obama administration this week rejected a request from Congress to investigate potential abuses in the country’s key guest-worker program for tech workers, insisting it would “be premature” to look into Southern California Edison’s use of the controversial H-1B visa to outsource jobs.

A bipartisan group of senators, led by Republican Sen. Jeff Sessions and Democratic Sen. Richard J. Durbin, had asked for a probe after SCE employees testified they were booted from jobs and replaced with guest-workers.

Leon Rodriguez, director of U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services, said his agency takes such allegations seriously — but said there isn’t enough evidence for him to look into SCE right now.

“At this point it would be premature for USCIS to speculate as to whether Southern California Edison’s participation in the H-1B program has violated laws,” Mr. Rodriguez wrote. “If facts come to our attention that indicate violations have occurred, USCIS will take appropriate action to maintain the integrity of our programs.”

He’ll stop anything which would expose “where” he’s using our system for his lawbreaking tactics.

I hat these people who are purposely destroying this country for some third world low lifes who will just bring the very culture’s here they want to get away from.

This administration and congress is all about Global Advancement...not to this country. Breaking my heart I tell ya!

REQUEST???

They dont have to, CONGRESS can do it on their Own!!

Congress has ALL the power in washington, the executive and judicial branch operate according to the whims of CONGRESS!

Congress can Remove the President Congress can remove the head of every executive agency Congress can remove ALL of their employees Congress can Abolish every agency they so choose Congress can remove EVERY JUDGE IN AMERICA, including every supreme court justice. Congress can abolish every federal court except the supreme Court Congress can decide which cases the Judicial Branch can hear and decide CONGRESS can Imprison ANYONE they want for any reason they so desire for as long as they wish. Congress can declare WAR

No other governing body has even 10% of the power CONGRESS has!!

CONGRESS IS ALLOWING ALL OF IT!!!

Congress has the authority to arrest and imprison those found in Contempt. The power extends throughout the United States and is an inherent power (does not depend upon legislated act)

If found in Contempt the person can be arrested under a warrant of the Speaker of the House of Representatives or President of the Senate, by the respective Sergeant at Arms.

Statutory criminal contempt is an alternative to inherent contempt.

Under the inherent contempt power Congress may imprison a person for a specific period of time or an indefinite period of time, except a person imprisoned by the House of Representatives may not be imprisoned beyond adjournment of a session of Congress.

Imprisonment may be coercive or punitive.

If the GOP would get it’s head out of it’s collective rear, theres a real opportunity here. This guy is treating globalism like a basic assumption, like a fait accompli, as important men have done in the past only to inherit the wind, and war.
