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.

To borrow some “The Witcher 3” lingo.
Lee is a ‘whoreson’.
This bill also floods the country with foreign nurses.
It’s mindblowing what thses people are doing & have done to this country...total sellouts.
Should We consider start hanging senators and house members ?until today that probably seemed extreme now it kinda seems like the sensible course of action. These people are out of control.
Lee has a 100% Conservative rating at Conservative Review. It should be noted that America is the greatest nation because we got the best minds in the world wanting to come here. Honest competition among the best minds creates all the good stuff we have. It’s the RATs who want the outlaw moochers sneaking in.
These senators are compromised by cash or pedo films. They are traitors, every last one of them.

Still good idea to weigh in on this with the Senators before calling Trump...Trump will be the only way this is stopped; however, he needs to know there is a lot of pressure coming from US families/his base.

With all due respect, I would highly recommend you do a FR search on Lee and SB386 articles...There is a lot of research available on the issue...
100% rating CR? Apparently they are not evaluating on ‘globalist leanings” and “displacing US workers”as part of their review...
“got(sic) best minds?” If the H-1B Visas were ensuring great minds, then why are US workers often being required to train their cheap labor replacements?
Opening up H-1B Visas in no way ensures bringing in the best minds...That would be for H-E1 and other types of Visas...
If you do the research, you will learn that both “Rats and RINOS are supporting this bill.” Lee actually co-sponsored with Kamala Harris?! Why would anyone want to sponsor with her????
Follow the money—the research reveals Utah and Lee are benefiting handsomely.
President Trump should veto this travesty!!!
I could not give a darn what his rating is by someone else. His continued actions says to me he is a Rhino, not a conservative. You can take the thinking of others all you want, I will do my own thinking.
BREAKING NEWS: PERDUE NOW SUPPORTS JOB-STEALING SB-386. LEE WILL TRY TO RUSH SB386 THROUGH TOMORROW...
THINK IT MIGHT BE TIME TO CALL YOUR SENATORS NOW?!?!?!

I was raised in the Mormon church until the age of 18. I left when I was an adult and no longer under my parents roof - per their agreement. Was that not obvious.
Any other questions?
No I just did not know what you meant...Thank you for explanation.
Btw, cultural Marxism/political correctness began in Columbia University by a bunch of foreigners in the same immigrating pool as Von Braun. You premise is absolute buffoonery.
Lee was one of the first guests that Mark Levin had on his Fox News Channel Sunday night show. Levin spoke very highly of him. I would like someone to ask Levin what he makes of Lee's immigration stance now.
At the very least, Lee must know of the all the H-1B visa abuse stories that have been out, like the Disney firing of career IT workers with their severance dependent on training their H-1B replacements.
One would think that a Levin-endorsed conservative would understand that conservatives want to see the H-1B terms enforced (like ensuring Americans are truly considered before looking elsewhere) before seeking to expand the program.
Even the Disney case is so blatant that expecting incumbents to train their foreign replacements under threat of losing severance puts the lie to the claim that there weren't qualified Americans to do the jobs.
Why Lee isn't being asked to address this is a mystery.

I just assumed my snarky comments implied a personal experience with the CoLDS. My bad. No harm meant. I really dislike Mormon politicians. Complete and total backstabbing, self religious, non loyal, anti constitutional, Kolob god wantabies and as bad as Muslims about lying to your face.
