The U.S. Chamber of Commerce and organizations funded by left-wing billionaire George Soros are bankrolling a plan to provide temporary amnesty to Venezuela’s population.
Last week, the Democrat-controlled House passed a measure to create a Temporary Protected Status (TPS) program for Venezuela’s population — allowing nationals who are already in the U.S. to remain and incentivizing more to migrate. Thirty-nine House Republicans joined every Democrat to support the legislation, including:
Rep. Don Bacon (R-NE) Rep. Michael Bost (R-IL) Rep. Tom Cole (R-OK) Rep. Dan Crenshaw (R-TX) Rep. John Curtis (R-UT) Rep. Mario Diaz-Balart (R-FL) Rep. Sean Duffy (R-WI) Rep. Brian Fitzpatrick (R-PA) Rep. Jeff Fortenberry (R-NE) Rep. Mike Gallagher (R-WI) Rep. Anthony Gonzalez (R-OH) Rep. Tom Graves (R-GA) Rep. Don Young (R-AK)
...
The Chamber of Commerce, the country’s largest big business group, and Soros-funded organizations like the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) and Amnesty International USA, Inc. were the primary lobbyists pushing House Republicans to join Democrats in creating TPS for Venezuelans.
Lobbying records chronicled by OpenSecrets.org reveal that seven lobbyists for Amnesty International USA, 12 lobbyists for the ACLU, and nearly 30 lobbyists for the Chamber of Commerce pushed members of Congress to support TPS for Venezuela’s population.
Already, the Chamber of Commerce has deployed more than 40 lobbyists to push GOP Senators to vote with Senate Democrats in supporting the Senate version of the TPS for Venezuela’s population legislation.
TPS has become a quasi-amnesty for otherwise illegal aliens created under the Immigration and Nationality Act of 1990 (INA) that prevents the deportation of foreign nationals from countries that have suffered through famine, war, or natural disasters. Since the Clinton administration, TPS has been transformed into a de facto amnesty program as the Bush, Obama, and Trump administrations have continuously renewed the program for a variety of countries.

Sounds like we need a way to separate them from the Commies...
I think most of them came here with some sort of legal family sponsorship. I’m aware of one legal immigrant professional (unfortunately married into a strong prog family)who got her mother out, finally. Daughter just became a citizen.
They will likely help POTUS in FL.
I sent an email to the White House today urging President Trump to veto this Bill. I hope he does.
We need a plan... Isn’t there a Constitutionalist Soros mastermind anywhere?
Someone....anyone...please tell me this is a satire....
Actually the Venezuelen emigres I met are pretty down to earth Republicans liker the Cubans. So there is hope. I am not saying i support it but there is a silver lining on this.
