GOP Senate Plans Vote to Outsource College Graduate America
Breitbart ^ | 9/18/19 | Neil Munro

Posted on 09/18/2019 8:33:50 PM PDT by david1292

Investors are rushing a bill through the GOP-run Senate that would reward Indian college graduates for taking U.S. college-level jobs at low wages from young American graduates.

Utah GOP Sen. Mike Lee will ask the Senate on Thursday to approve his Indian outsourcing bill via “Unanimous Consent.” If no Senator objects, the radical bill will be considered to have passed the Senate.

A similar bill has already passed the House, numbered HR.1044, with the aid of 140 GOP votes.

Both bills are backed by India’s government that wishes to grow its economy by exporting more workers into jobs in the United States, Europe, and the Middle East. The Lee/Harris bill would encourage this outsourcing by rewarding at least 100,000 Indian workers and spouses with green cards each year, up from the current “country cap” award of 20,000 green cards to Indians.

GOP Majority Sen. Mitch McConnell has the power to block the unanimous consent vote, as does any single Democratic or GOP Senator.

Officials working for President Donald Trump have not said if he will support or block the outsourcing bill.

The bill is being pushed by Lee and by Democratic Sen. Kamala Harris, who is now running for the Democrats’ presidential nomination.

What is there to think about?

Or is the article leaving something out of this nightmare?

Hell no! OK Republican Senators, who will “stand in the gap” and raise an objection to the despicable Senator Lee’s unanimous consent request?

You want to know the irony in this?

Tlaib and Omar voted against this bill. 140 Republicans voted for it.

To get even more weird... Other no votes came from Jim Clyburn and Marcia Fudge. 57 Republicans voted against it too.

Now, these Dems did not vote against this because they are against immigration. They voted against this because this bill favors Indians over other immigrants from elsewhere. But it is still a bit interesting how politics can create some strange bedfellows.

POTUS is between a rock and hard place here. GOP needs Chamber of Amnesty cash for 2020. This give away bill is one of their to do priority items in the short term.

Interesting. What you posted is yet another confirmation that their policies are not based on any logic but rather on how it can serve their political whims.

No doubt. And I’m sure you’re aware they are very fond of hiring their own kind. Very.

They voted against it to force the GOP to support a divisive issue.

Maybe it’s a deep, long-term plan to punish the products of the collectivist indoctrination centers we call universities for being so gullible?

Or maybe it’s just that Indian employment firms’ contributions to the GOP are at record highs?
