Democratic-run House will decide Tuesday whether to put at least 300,000 Indian contract workers on a fast track to valuable green cards, so incentivizing more low wage Indian graduates to take U.S. jobs from middle class American graduates.
Roughly 108 Republicans have co-sponsored the green card giveaway, called HR.1044, the “”Fairness for High-Skilled Immigrants Act of 2019” — even though the Democrats’ legislation is backed by Silicon Valley investors who oppose GOP.
Democrats also have kept the legislation secret — the bill has had no hearing or committee votes — and it is being quarterbacked by the immigration lawyer who helped Democratic Sen. Chuck Schumer write the disastrous “Gang of Eight” amnesty in 2013.

These 1.2 million foreign workers are eager to take Americans’ jobs at low wages, in part, because the federal government also allows employers to nominate them for hugely valuable green cards. Companies save a fortune in salaries by offering this taxpayer-funded bonus to their foreign contract-workers.
Companies have also used this green card process to create an extra army of roughly 350,000 contract-workers in the United States. Under federal rules, the short-term contract-workers become long-term indentured workers once their employers file the green card application. This subservient work-and-wait legal status continues for years until the contract-workers get out of the backlog once they get green cards and become legal immigrants.
“Employers love [because] this is an astonishing subsidy for tech employers … this bill would extend that [backlog and indentured service] model … This will turn the entire employment-based immigration system into the indentured-service model,” a source told Breitbart.
These two armies of 1.5 million contract workers take prestigious jobs in healthcare, business, engineering, software, teaching, research, journalism, in Silicon Valley, in the fashion industry, in universities and even cutting edge, computer chip manufacturing companies.

Hey Democrats - you’re always talking about what a horrible racist sexist homophobe country the US is, so do these people a favor and keep them the hell out of it.
and it is being quarterbacked by the immigration lawyer who helped Democratic Sen. Chuck Schumer write the disastrous “Gang of Eight” amnesty in 2013.

Which Flimsey Grahamnesty, Micro Rubio, Alexander, Murkowsky and Hoeven all voted for.
Bush League Republicans MUST become extinct before the Republic does.
Very detailed explanation of the ramifications of this legislation are in the article. Of course they wait till right after holiday during vacation season to sneak it thru on a fast track w/no amendments...
The democrats put US sovereignty on Craigslist.
Up their exit port.
Strip them of citizenship and deport them and their families to India since they love it so much.
Redmond is a Dosa House.

Glad I don’t have any college age kids. I wouldn’t be able to advise them on a career path. All the tech fields are flooded with cheap foreign labor.
What are they going to do to earn a living?!
This open floodgate on every level needs to STOP!
ken buck has been such a disappointment. The Colorado RNC gives us garbage candidates.
PLEASE TAKE A FEW MINUTES TO CONTACT YOUR “REPRESENTATIVES” (AND I USE THE WORD LOOSELY) BY PHONE OR EMAIL TO STOP THIS!
Another 2 points from the article:
This huge imported workforce is great for companies because it helps to prevent a company-vs-company bidding war for American graduates. That bidding war would drive up Americans’ wages, encourage more Americans to get skilled degrees, and would help more Americans graduates get out of debt and then get into good jobs, homes, and marriages.
In 2014, a series of top Silicon Valley firms — including Google and Apple — were found guilty of colluding to suppress salaries for Americans.
ken buck has been such a disappointment. The Colorado RNC gives us garbage candidates.
I don’t know which is worse, a garbage RINO or a DEM. I am in IL, and we now have no GOP representation in what used to be a GOP stronghold...tho the GOP was always pretty RINO here ;(
‘
What I DO know is that these people are destroying the country :(
So that I am clear on your post. That list of GOP representatives are in favor of this bill...and signed on to co-sponsor it?

______________________________________
From what I understand, yes. I pasted and copied the list of co-sponsors and their date of sponsoring from the article.
And here is link to the congress.gov website referenced in the Breitbart article that shows co-sponsorship as well

House Sets Tuesday Vote on Green Card Giveaway to 300,000 Indian H-1B Contract Workers
Wait! What?
Check it out.
****
Speaker Pelosi is planning a fast-track vote with no hearings.
Call your senators and representatives.
****
Thank you and yes she is turning this into an immigration issue—racist if oppose.
This is exactly the kind of thing that must be stopped.
I keep telling everybody that unless they worked for one of the big banks like I do, they have no idea how many H1b Indians they have working for them. I’d say 1/4 of the work force. No, its not just tech jobs they are doing either. Its all sorts of jobs. You cannot possibly tell me that the banks can’t find qualified Americans to do those jobs.
We need to pass laws to make it more expensive to hire foreign labor than Americans. What companies and their bought and paid for politicians are doing is rigging the game. This is not the free market when companies are free to import armies of cheap labor.
