Dobbs: Disgraceful GOP Sen. Mike Lee pushes job-stealing Green Card bill
Biz Pac Review ^ | 09.23.19 | Zachary Leeman

Posted on 09/23/2019 11:28:53 AM PDT by Freedom56v2

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.

increasing cap for high-tech temp worker visas
Thereby disincentivizing Americans from footing the bill for an education to obtain these skills.

Absolutely true!

My dad was an Electrical Engineer...from “least likely to succeed” in a small town Nebraska school, he went on to get BS in EE. He worked hard and a good living. I encouraged our kids to go into STEM fields...back in a time when here still were good jobs to be had...

At this point, can’t say I would recommend STEM careers to teens doing career exploration....

Sadly, I fear it is going to become increasingly difficult for the rising generation to find careers that will provide a good middle class living.

Another day, another article...

Wonder if you Free Traitors expect Americans to work for $1000 a month? I’m actually being really generous. Average Indian IT wage in India is about $300 a month.

Wages in IT/Software Engineering are not stagnant, they are decreasing. Indian body shops are about to set the level at $25 an hour, then $20 then...

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?


Threads HERE on FR calling for replacing Americans...So sad!!!

My kids are all STEM grads..They don’t use Crack or smoke dope...All have or are working on advanced degrees, and all would say their wages and opportunities have been tamped down due to the influx of cheap foreign labor. This problem actually starts in college—US has allowed UNLIMITED FOREIGN STUDENT VISAS...and then there are internship programs that promote hiring of recent foreign STEM grads over US grads...

We protect steel workers’ jobs, why not IT workers?
Why? Follow the money!!!

There does not appear to be an organized lobby for US families with parents working in technology or students studying technology, nor is there a lobby for recent tech grads or experienced tech workers...Yet not only are there tech titan lobbies, now the Indians both here and in India have formed lobbies, and our elected “representatives” get richer and richer :/

... and the American middle class gets f*cked. Americans fired en-masse and replaced by know-nothing, cheating, lying racist Indians. With Indian body ships controlling a near 100% majority of contractor positions (that’s really the only why to get hired today), and Indian hiring managers controlling full-time direct hire positions, what is a American to do? Shovel shit?

Ageism was always a problem in industry. Now Americans are expected to compete with cheap Indians that might have taken a 6 month online course, live 4 to 6 per room, and get hired due to extreme Indian nepotism and racism. While an American with decades of experience, multiple degrees in the field, and a family gets benched.

Yet another large-scale H1B visa fraud. One of thousands.

https://www.seattletimes.com/seattle-news/crime/former-bellevue-ceo-sentenced-to-seven-years-for-h-1b-visa-fraud/

Yet some Free Traitors here think H1B Indians are vastly superior to Americans.

Only superior in racism, nepotism and cheating.

Thanks for the link!

Remember back in the first days of the internet? I do...When companies begging for people who were good at coding and hardware.,..Companies were taking in STEM workers who had not even finished college? And now many STEM students are finding it increasingly difficult to get good STEM jobs or if they do, the pay is far less than should be for their expertise...As I said, now I would probably not be recommending it as a career if I had kids in high school...eh maybe hardware because foreign workers don’t have nearly as much access to train on state-of-art hardware off shore tho I suspect that is changing too with so many companies establishing a presence in Bangalore...

Sad change from back in the days when mine went to college...

My spouse works with people here and people in India...says managers in India are only making $30,000...Guess that may be an inflated salary...

Again, why do we not protect STEM students and STEM professionals, yet we protect steel workers?!?

When this atrocity of a bill passes, it’s not just IT/Software Engineering jobs that Americans will be barred from, it will be any and all fields. Welcome to severe downward salaries as Indians flood every market segment, except perhaps farm labor. Mexicans and construction trades better watch this as well as Indians absolutely dominate construction in the Middle East and elsewhere. All this while maintaining the Indian domination of H1Bs, H4EADs and OPT visas.

This won’t end well.

Thank you for your reply.

What is a H4EADs? New term to me, and I have been following this issue for a long time.

Won’t end well...It is scary looking at the future...

PLEASE, Please, please, contact Senatorsr (yeah it is likely a waste of time, but it brings pressure that Trump may see) and

MOST IMPORTANTLY, PLEASE CONTACT PRESIDENT TRUMP!!!

Lee was Cruz's co-conspirator in the attempted coup against Trump's rightful nomination. Here he is loudly voicing his no vote to impact changing the convention rules....

----------------------------------

I forgot about this...That is one scary picture! Lee was certainly no friend of Trumps! Now it is apparent he is no friend of US middle class families :/

Don’t kid yourself David Perdue spent his whole corporate career outsourcing. He’s a card carrying RINO POS who is also backing gun control. Its almost worth losing his seat to a Democrat for six years to get rid of him.

Thank you for your comment...Wow...And you are from GA!!

(Actually that is my take on him...a RINO outsourcer—did not know about gun control - DOUBLE UGH!!!)

And truly, I am not kidding myself...He stopped the unanimous consent...not voting against the bill, he not only said he will support the bill, but he added now that he will introduce it this week...UGH!

But there are some here who think Perdue is just fine... don’t care why he blocked it, as if he wears a white hat...

My thot is that he is holding up SB 386 to get some perks...for GA or for himself...Just like Lee and Paul did :/

Isn’t it “grand” that there is such bipartisan support for this bill AGAINST AMERICAN US FAMILIES?!?!?!

I am suggesting people call their Senators...Not necessarily because it will stop passage; however it may show the immense dislike of the bill with the Trump base.

In what way does SB 386 MAGA!?!?!
>
More importantly, people need to register their concerns about this bill with the White House...President Trump is our last line of defense on this.
