"I can't figure out why Mike Lee is sucking up to big tech."

In this election cycle, Lee has raked in more than $33,000 from the Microsoft Corporation, about $18,400 from Google, $12,500 from Jeff Bezos’ Amazon, $12,000 from the Oracle Corporation, $11,000 from Mark Zuckerberg’s Facebook, and nearly $11,000 from the Koch-owned Koch Agronomic Services.

During the 2018 election cycle, Lee enjoyed a more than $112,000 combined donation from Microsoft, Google, Amazon, Facebook, Oracle, and Koch Agronomic Services.

This may have something to do with it.

Corrupt politician selling out American citizens.

can’t figure out why Mike Lee is sucking up to big tech. Yeah, if you drive I-15 in Salt Lake and Utah counties, most of the big ones are there but last I heard, they had no trouble filling these jobs with Americans.
If he were a left coast senator, I could understand it. But Utah?


It is not about jobs...He is a globalist who is getting lots of money from tech titans and then he can go fund other globalists and nevertrumpers :(

His partner in this travesty is a left coast senator, Kamala Harris—she and he put this traitorous bill forward.

Sadly, their are more GOP sponsors than Dems...

He is bringing it back next week...please email/call your senator today!

We would be lucky if it was only cash Lee is interested in from Big Tech. He wants Silicon Valley investment in Utah and most importantly opportunities to advance his church among progressives.

This abomination should be stopped at all costs.

The traitors pushing have text in the bill saying that the US shouldn’t have the right to set country caps because “national origin discrimination is unlawful”.

Say what? The United States have no right to decide which countries immigrants can come from?

National origin civil rights in the 14th Amendment don’t apply to foreign nationals. They apply to citizens and lawful permanent residents whose ethnic origin might be an issue.

This bill is beyond belief in its Leftist stupidity. Worse, the list of “Republicans” sponsoring it crow about working with the single worst far left immivasionist in the Congress, one Zoe Lofgren of Baja San Jose.

The woman is a deranged, unhinged hater of the Americans who got her start as an anti-Vietnam war agitator under Don Edwards, the original dishrag liberal from Northern California.

It has to be stopped at all costs. It outlaws the nation.


Agreed! This has to be stopped!!

Keyboard warriors, Please send an email to your Senators today!!!

If so, they will be sadly disappointed. Mormons are even more intransigent than Catholics (from the progressive point of view) on pro-life issues, traditional marriage (and keeping your pants zipped until then) and the second amendment.

It will pretty much ban any green card or worker from any country except India for 10 to 12 years, this while still giving Indians a vast majority of H1B, H4EAD and OPT visas, and will maintain the 80% visa rate for Indians after that, due to their sheer dominance in the H1B area.

This will decimate baseball for sure. Good bye Latin American, Canadian, Japanese and South Korean ball players.
