BACKGROUND:
In the dead of night after 2am this morning, Congressional leadership unveiled a more than 2,000 page 'omnibus' year-end funding bill which would, among other things: fully-fund the President's refugee expansion; fully-fund sanctuary cities; fully-fund the resettlement of illegal aliens youth and their families crossing the border; lock-in tax credits for illegal aliens; and quadruple the highly controversial H-2B foreign worker visa being used to replace Americans as truck drivers, construction workers, theme park employees, and in blue collar jobs across the nation.
Sessions, the Chairman of the Immigration Subcommittee, issued a statement about the bill as it speeds to a vote before it can be read, observing in part that GOP voters: "have come to believe that their party's elites are not only uninterested in defending their interests but - as with this legislation, and fast-tracking the President's international trade pact - openly hostile to them." On the floor today, Sessions further reminded his colleagues that their duty is the American people - not special interests, immigration advocacy groups, or lobbyists for narrow business concerns.
Sessions observed that - as the omnibus paves the way for a huge immigration increase beyond today's record-breaking highs - that more than 8 in 10 American voters want the level of immigration in American frozen or cut, and yet the GOP-led Congress is about to surge it even higher.
According to the U.S. Census Bureau - even without these increases - immigration will add the population equivalent of 1 new Los Angeles to the country each 3 years.
The U.S. has admitted 59 million immigrants since 1965. As historical context, after the numerically-smaller 1880-1920 immigration wave, future immigration was reduced to promote wage growth for US-born and immigrant workers: there was zero net growth in the foreign-born population over the course of the next half-century (in fact, it declined markedly). Now, after five decades of unprecedented immigration, the U.S. is on path to add another five decades of unprecedented immigration on top of that - setting new all-time records every single decade to come.
Ping!
Sounds good. Gotta see it later. Bkmk
Bkmk.
Retire Paul Ryno in 2016.

INSANITY !!!
They clearly don’t care about the voters but the donors.
Ryan screwed conservatives at his first chance. He should be shown no mercy.
I’m willing to go to Janesville to help the Unions elect a rat.
Well I guess I heard wrong, what about the rest of the people, did they hear it wrong also?
We have now, right now, nothing better than what we had before...obuma still gets his way, the Senate and the House are still kissing his butt on everything he wants....
Why are we sending these people to do the peoples work? Why don't we all get together and pick out how many people we need, and send them, why even vote anymore, what good is it doing?
I heard today on my local news, where obuma just allowed another 3,000 green cards, I thought a Judge forbid him to do that...who gave him permission to over ride a Judge's decision? If you or I did that, we would be in comp tent of Court, but here goes obuma dancing around like it's nothing...
People we have to stop this nonsense!!!
Just watched it.
Is it an accident that the debate furor and the release of this fundinng bill at 2am this morning happened on the same evening?
I wish Jeff Sessions had jumped into the presidential race. He would have been far better than any of our current choices.
Obviously we are not in open rebellion enough. Another year may be too late.
and $3 Billion for Obama’s Global Warming scam so he can buy a job at the United Nations
why are we importing thousands of people?
There’s an election coming up and you Americans won’t vote for liberals.
Correct me if I’m wrong, but refugees are eligible to vote aren’t they?
Maybe I’m wrong....but I doubt it...
This must be why Ryan meet with Nancy Pelosi ,to get Obama’s shopping list
Might as well. There is certainly no difference.
