CSPAN ^ | 9/19/19 | Sen. Mike Lee

Posted on 09/19/2019 12:01:39 PM PDT by central_va

Call your Senator now. Stop Sen. Mike Lee now!!!

I ask unanimous consent that the committee on the judiciary be discharged from further consideration of h.R. 1044 and the senate proceed to its immediate consideration. I ask unanimous consent that the lee amendment, numbered 939 be agreed to, that the bill ab amended be considered read a third time and passed, and that the motions to reconsider be considered made and laid upon the table. Continued.

Thanks for posting. A couple things of note...I actually got through to live staffers in the offices of Senators Marsha Blackburn and John Kennedy and voiced opposition to Lee’s request for unanimous consent. I got through to Ted Cruz’ voice mail (calls roll over to the voice mail when office staff answering the phones are all busy on other calls) but his voice mail was full. So Cruz must be (at least I hope) getting a lot of calls on this.

I will then take my chances with the socialists over the globalists. Hopefully there will be a secession or division between red and blue. Simpy put globalism doesn't work for the American worker WHICH I AM ONE.

The GOP will need to be destroyed if this crap doesn't stop. The Globalist Old Plutocrat party is bad product. It's my life, my vote.

country of origin discrimination, plain and simple and no amount of legalese or wonkish policy arguments can cover up that fact.

-- Sen. Mike Lee


What the hell does that crazy sh!t "country of origin discrimination" even mean?

Those humanoids look like DIRCs (Democrats in Republican Clothing).

Seriously, answering your question, I had the same confusion a week or so ago and was told that Lee had a large contribution land on him so he’s dancing to a different tune.

Pols sell out. Lee is a pol. Looks like Lee sold out.

Found this article on Breitbart...A different take on the H-1B situation...Lost tax dollars, lost spending dollars to communities...I am sending to President Trump...

Senate to Vote on H-1B Program that Sneaks Billions in Payroll from GOP States

From article:
The H-1B program uses cheap foreign workers to replace American workers, and so it dramatically reduces payrolls in legislators’ districts, according to a comparison of two federal databases.

The reduced payroll does not go to the local restaurants, landlords, or various members of the local Chambers of Commerce. The funds do not get to local non-profits, county governments, or city halls. Instead, the diverted payroll is transferred from the politicians’ districts to the coastal investors who hire the cheap H-1Bs in place of Americans, according to U.S. and Indian financial reports.

https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2019/09/19/h-1b-program-sucks-billions-of-s-in-payroll-from-gop-states/

Probs should post this separately later...

It “displaces” US workers. That is all you need to know about H-1B.

On a related note, here’s a story on the crazy state of Utah...

Yes, that is all I need to know, but obviously (and sadly) many don’t care about that ;( They don’t have a dog in the hunt, etc...

However, may be possible to have more interest generated and hence pressure brought to bear on the lousy pols if more people are calling to oppose this for a multitude of reasons...

He uses his mouth prettier than a 20 dollar whore.

That’s a lot of words, and you probably need a decoder ring to understand what he is actually intending.

Build the wall and stop the flood is all I care about.
I do not care about immigration reform. I want it stopped, not codified and organized.
