Yoder's fix for the green card system would affect ~ 1 million people, mainly high tech workers..... It would enable these high-skilled immigrants to obtain green cards sooner by removing the per country cap and in turn allow them to switch companies, apply for patents, and start their own businesses.

Fresco, the lobbyist for this states that it: “will have a much greater effect on our economy over the next five years than the difference between $2 or $5 billion for the border wall,”[snip]

Yoder's plan faces opposition from the conservative Center for Immigration Studies. This is explained within the article.

The current cap system is kind of crazy because it strictly goes by demand from your country of origin.

An Engineer from India who has his PhD could wait 7 to 9 years. A cab driver from Yemen might wait two.

Nuts.

Yoder is a Cheap Labor Express stooge.

Bush League Republicans MUST become extinct before the Republic does.

If we keep shutting down the border, it will eventually be profitable for Mexico to pay for it.

Yoder doing his job? It’d be a novel act to go out on I guess.

I don’t want more foreignors coming in on any kind of green card/visa and being able to start up companies. It’s still a main way they can suck benefits/grants out of us and make money and hire more foreigners and possibly send money out of country.

Like chobanni i read is foreignor started and does what it can to hire foreignors.

I’d like to see border wall and other sorts of ways to secure it quickly and properly built, Stop all immigration for 6 months to a year. Try to see what actual USA citizen workers can fill the specialty jobs the foreignors seem to keep being brought in for as well as any other jobs USA citizens can fill. lower number that can come from all countries for at least 2 years once we start accepting people in again and from ZERO from various countries especially those that had higher numbers coming in in recent years under BO.

The measure is intended to help immigrants from India and China to:

- depress American tech job wages
- establish a foothold for importing their 8+ member extended families
- stink up more neighborhoods with curry

The House version ... provides $5 billion in funding for a border wall, ... The Senate version steers $1.6 billion toward extra border security

Give the Senate a bill with the 5 billion.

It is a total disgrace that the RATS vote against a defense of our country. They truly are the enemy within.

"President Trump demands a border wall. Will Kevin Yoder get him the money to build it?"

..... LOL ..... This will more than likely be the last chance for Trump to get the funding ..... Under the next configuration of Congress ..... The chance of getting funding will be set at Zero Percent. The Democrats know this and will stonewall until they will be in control. In short ...... Ain't gonna happen.

Trump can haggle all he wants on the “wall”. He should just order the military to build similarly effective fortifications along the wall. A defense in depth with multiple lines of trenches, tank traps, barbed wire, bunkers, berms, communication systems and on and on would be just as good. Without fortifications, we need higher numbers of military to maintain order and security.

Fortifications would greatly reduce the need for troops and an assault would trigger a rapid deployment ready to face the invaders.

Wait just a doggone minute.

I thought it was Kevin McCarthy who was leading the charge to get the wall built from his Leadership position in the House

At least that’s what all of those ads he has been running keep telling us

Trump can get it by making a single threat: Any GOPer who opposes it will be BLACKLISTED from lobbying for his entire presidency. No phone calls taken from Ryan, Corker, Yoder et al. No bills they write or craft considered. Period.

IF ALL OF THE (see My Tagline) WOULD STOP THE B.S. AND STAY WITH ONE(1) ITEM.

They need to have Mule Blinders PERMANENTLY installed on their heads (after the Backhoe and Logging Chains pull them out of their butts) so that attempting to stay focused on the task at hand is a priority.

FUND THE DAMNNED WALL AND BUILD IT NOW !!! Not next week, year or decade- NOW!!!
