It's an appalling reality that in the entire U.S. Senate not one single member is willing to stand up for American workers.
From appointed Arizona Republican Martha McSally to Vermont Independent Bernie Sanders, possibly the world's only avowed socialist who won't defend his nation's workers, none stood up against the Fairness for High-Skilled Immigrants Act, S. 386, and its continuum of foreign national tech workers, mostly Indian.
S. 386 would eliminate the 7 percent country cap provision that controls Green Card issuance to ensure that one country, or just a few countries, do not dominate the program. The current system limits India to about 20 percent of the employment-based work permits, mostly H-1B visas. But U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services predicts that if S. 386 were to become law, India would receive more than 90 percent of Green Cards for the next ten years. Green Cards are a step to U.S. citizenship.
The Senate, once considered the world's most deliberative body, is today a sorry collection of sad sacks that don't flinch at displacing more qualified U.S. tech workers with cheaper, less skilled Indian foreign nationals. Never mind that the abruptly unemployed Americans have families and all the associated financial commitments. The senators' collective opinion: tough luck for the jobless Americans, but we're okay.
The only voice that prevented S. 386 from passing by the weaselly unanimous consent method – no dissenting opinions heard, no amendments allowed and no actual vote taken – was Georgia Sen. David Perdue who, nonetheless, said that he "supports this bill," but has reservations about its possible effect on his state's rural health care. In other words, although Perdue blocked the legislation, he's onboard with the ongoing displacement of U.S. tech workers.

LEE HAS SAID HE WILL BRING THIS BACK THIS WEEK. PLEASE TAKE TIME TO CONTACT YOUR SENATORS...BOTH RATS AND RINOS AS BOTH ARE SUPPORTING THIS TRAVESTY. PRESIDENT TRUMP NEEDS TO SEE MANY US FAMILIES AND TECH WORKERS CARE ABOUT THIS ISSUE.

He is becoming a wealthy one ~ handsomely rewarded by the tech titans :/
From the article:
While turning their backs on U.S. tech workers, the senators worship their false gods and campaign donors, namely Google, Alphabet Inc. and Amazon that, among other tech giants, benefit from lower cost Indian labor. According to Open Secrets.org that monitors federal campaign contributions, S. 386’s lead sponsor Mike Lee (R-UT) has been rewarded by his Silicon Valley supporters: Microsoft, $33,000; Google, $18,400; Amazon, $12,500; Oracle, $11,000; Mark Zuckerberg’s Facebook, $11,000 and the Koch-owned Koch Agronomic Services, $11,000.

It was decided for us during the first Bush Administration that we were going to become North Mexico.
The government, both parties, has been allowing the country to be overrun with fraudulently documented foreigners INTENTIONALLY.
It has been the largest project of Fedzilla for the past 30 years.
They wanted to FUNDAMENTALLY TRANSFORM the country.
We are 30 years and 30 million people down the road to being North Mexico.
The delaying tactics employed by Republicans to address this have made reversing this a monumental task.
If we keep voting for Bush League Republicans hell bent on making us into North Mexico, that is what we are going to get.
Graham,Rubio, Murkowsky and McCain were re-elected AFTER voting for amnesty.
Grahamnesty wants another term and another shot at amnesty.
Lee is a bought and paid for politician. Utahans elect politicians based solely upon whether or not the politician is a Mormon or not.
Lee knows this. He feels perfectly safe and immune from retribution because of this and is being funded by the open borders cheap labor express.
His motivation is himself. He could not care less about America or Americans.
Reminder, Cruz and Lee are best buds. Birds of a feather, etc...Cruz cannot get away with this crap because he is ostensibly a “Texan”.
But, Cruz has not come out against Lee or this legislation either either. Tells you all you need to know.
I make note of this because I know a very great many Freepers were total Cruzites during the last election cycle.
Treason used to be taken seriously
I would have but I was raised in a certain way that let’s me see the truth.
What is that supposed to mean?!?!
What “Certain way were you raised that let’s you see the truth” 20 years into the future??
They seem to not only want to make us North Mexico, but a territory of China and factory of India...
Time to call Trump! He has a blind spot on H-1B Visas, but I do believe he can be educated and persuaded.
It’s going to pass easily. The Uniparty really wants this.
It should be vetoed, but I’m not sure it will be.
He was for TPP before he was against it.
He provided the key vote to get it out of committee.
This bill also floods the country with foreign nurses.
