Fox Business host Lou Dobbs has gone after Utah Sen. Mike Lee for supporting a bill that would lift per-country gaps on permanent residency. The bill was ultimately blocked in the Senate.
Dobbs described the bill as an “absolute dream” for outsourcers on “Lou Dobbs Tonight.” The bill's called the Fairness for High Skilled Immigrants Act.
“It would remove green card limits on workers from other countries,” said Dobbs, “but what that means is big countries like India and China principally would overwhelm the H1B visa list, and guess what? They would be taking American jobs at lower pay, historically 27 percent lower than prevailing wages in the United States for American labor.”
Though the bill was blocked, it still has support. Georgia Senator David PERDUE has said he wants to REINTRODUCE the bill after some of the language in it has been worked on. He claims the bill keeps in line with President Donald Trump’s immigration agenda. Dobbs is not buying into the hype though.
“Ask yourself: why would a populist president who has worked so hard for the American worker, the middle class, the forgotten man and woman in this country, agree to such a bunch of nonsense?” said Dobbs.
SNIP
The new bill would increase wait times for foreign nurses. He wanted a provision added that would allow 5000 nurses to get temporary work visas in the United States annually. The original version of the bill would have increased wait times for foreign nurses, many of whom come from the Philippines. SNIP
The bill, co-introduced by Kamala Harris, is meant to take care of the backlog of green card candidates from places like China and India. On top of erasing a cap for employment green cards, it would also raise the cap for family-based green cards.

Not looking good...
If you have not called Perdue, now would be a good time to consider it...
It should be called the American Worker Replacement Bill and should never be approved. That it should include letting the families of these foreign workers into the U.S. is nothing but more of the hated “chain migration.”
Shame on Sen. Lee and any other senators who are giving away our best jobs and expecting the poorer Americans to populate our military and work at Walmart.
Call your Senators!
These bill names are so Orwellian! Yes it should be called the American Worker Replacement Bill!
and also SPOT ON:
CALL/EMAIL SENATORS AND PRESIDENT!
Thereby disincentivizing Americans from footing the bill for an education to obtain these skills.
“but what that means is big countries like India and China principally would overwhelm the H1B visa list...” happened a generation ago. That’s why engineers make the same now as they did 15 years ago...
“Buy Chinese - Hire Indian”
:( :/
“Shame on Lee”??? The better question is how much money he and his cohorts are receiving in campaign donation etc. from the Lobbyists. It is all about the Money which is the way Washington works. Damn shame, but that is the way it is.
Those are the words when he blocked it
I’ve called. Emailed and tweeted.
Right now there is not an indication of what has changed
You don’t need to lecture me about what I need to do. Take care of your own yard
You part of the Jeb Bush crowd? A globalist RINO?
Bushwon in the house!!!

I figured you might say something along those lines ;)

With all due respect, Article is saying he NOW WILL REINTRODUCE IT...I believe last week articles stated he said he would support it...To me that is a change in level of support. A change in the wrong direction, hence the suggestion you consider contacting him now as he is your senator...
and I merely suggested you consider contacting him...That is not a lecture.
And I have and am taking care of my yard as well as a bunch of others...neighbors, friends, etc.
We are all supposed to be on same page here...if not same page, at least same chapter of same book. Sorry if I offended you, but frankly this is important, so if you find me offensive, so be it.
Mike Lee was, until recent times, a political conservative...a political conservative Mormon that you could count on.
Has anybody noticed the sea change that is happening in Mormonism? It seems to have taken hold of Mike Lee also.
The sea change seems to coincide with the election of Mitt Romney in Mormon Utah.
Something has certainly changed...You may be on to something...
He is getting big “rewards” for supporting the surveillance state...Google and FB are putting in data centers in UT, and he is getting very generous campaign donations for suppporting Tech titan initiatives like surveillance and H-1B Visa expansion :(
Allowing this is treason.
Worker Visas violate the 13th and 14th Amendments.
Green Card bill, H1B visas deny work rights to those in the United States. The U.S. Chamber of Commerce is running slave trading.
Amendment XIII Section 1. Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude, except as a punishment for crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted, shall exist within the United States, or any place subject to their jurisdiction.
I don’t need lectures from people who have communists as senators
Perdue did something no other senator did. One can say not enough. Fine but they’re senators did nothing. I’m doing my part. I don’t need lectures from people who threaten not to vote and do nothing to improve their state
But there are just a few threads just yesterday calling for Indians replacing Americans as it was thought Americans were too stupid and Indians somehow superior to us Crack and Marijuana smoking Americans, and somehow Indians are superior to every other 193 countries in the world.
Short memory here?
Give me a break...
1. The nerve of me...How dare I ask, suggest, or even more obnoxiously exhort people to call their senators—Yeah, I am guilty of doing that...instead of just posting my outrage at the news, I am advocating that Freepers go beyond just being keyboard warriors...Guilty as charged...
BTW, according to the homepage, FR is a news and ACTIVISM forum...What is the point of knowing and posting if no one takes the next step to make a simple phone call?!?!?!
2. I did not lecture you, This is a forum where people challenge ideas. Perdue’s position and/or your blind loyalty to Perdue is fair game.
3. Fact that I live in IL and, therefore have Dem Senators has no bearing...I did not vote for them and I don’t support them even, tho they likely have the SAME POSITION AS YOUR Senator, Perdue, on this issue...
Weak reasoning that people who live in blue states do so because they like socialism or support it...people live in blue states for many reasons, but that is not one of them...People like the founder of FR.
4. For goodness sake, YOU almost had Stacey Abrams as Governor...Sheesh.
Fine, support Perdue as he sells out US workers.
Dobbs is talking aout Perdue right now on his program, so I am done with this. And I am not sorry.
I figured out before Donald Trump entered the picture that he is another globalist RINO; he just works harder to maintain his image as a conservative.
