Sen. David Perdue OKs Silicon Valley Takeover of College Graduate Job Market
Breitbart ^ | Neil Munro

Posted on 09/25/2019 7:36:18 PM PDT by lone star annie

Sen. David Perdue (R-GA) now supports Sen. Mike Lee’s (R-UT) green card giveaway bill, which will allow investors to reward many more Indian graduates for taking middle-class jobs from American college graduates. Perdue’s decision to end his opposition to the bill clears the way for Lee to rush his bill through the Senate on Thursday. If no other senators object, Lee’s bill will move through the Senate, putting it much closer to becoming law.

And all the Democrats are supporting it.

Why isn’t this bigger news? (I know why)

They won’t be happy until everyone in the IT field makes less than 40K.

Follow the money. Who is contributing to Sen. Perdue? Who is contributing to Sen. Lee?

I suppose I just have a lower middle-class outlook on life. If I have enough money to pay my bills - and have a little left over - then I’m happy. But not these politicians. They will sell out America’s tomorrow for a few extra dollars today.

I haven't looked yet, but I'm willing to bet the the Immigration Attorney lobby will be high on the list.

“...Follow the money. Who is contributing to Sen. Perdue? Who is contributing to Sen. Lee?...”

Corruption in DC is ON SALE. Look for big money from the left like Soros. This is part of the GLOBALIST agenda by changing the demographics of the USA...as is already happening.

Damn. I already had to ride the @ss of Saxby “Who will pick the Vidalia Onions” Chambliss.

Now it looks like I will have to do the same with Perdue.

And I’ll bet that money is throughly laundered. Soros gives money to a front organization. That organization has some innocent name, like “People For a Happier Tomorrow”. That organization then donates Soros’ money to various politicians.

“Oh, no”, says the politicians. “I’m not taking money from George Soros. I’m taking money from The People For a Happier Tomorrow.”

That SOB does not deserve to be reelected. He does not care about the people of Georgia. In fact any Senator that votes foe this bill does not care about any American.

Yes, call BOTH DEMS AND RINOS...They are all supporting this pet bill of globalists, tech titans, and Chamber of Commerce cheap-labor express!

MIGHT BE SMART TO EMAIL THEM TONIGHT—LEE KNOWS PUBLIC IS BECOMING AWARE OF THIS TRAVESTY...

Likely Trump will have to veto it; however, having lots of pressure brought to bear from the US families will give him support for a veto.

Everyone like free market capitalism until their own ox gets gored.

US currently imports 1.2 million new immigrants EVERY YEAR, most of whom are low skilled, low wealth and low education. That is causing deterioration in the standard of living. Because a huge proportion of these low skilled, low wealth, low educated immigrants depend on gov’t welfare.

The country and it’s economy will benefit by substituting the current low skill/low wealth/low education immigrants with college educated immigrants who can get a job and contribute to the tax base instead of sucking from it.

Reason India is exporting so many college graduates is it graduates more STEM graduates than US, and it’s population is four times bigger than US, and it’s land mass is 1/3 that of US. In other words it is 12 times more crowded than US. And another reason is due to being a British colony for 150 years before independence, almost all Indian college graduates can speak English.

So long as US remains a capitalist country, this situation is going to continue. Money talks and corporations have the money to subsidize politicians in a capitalist country.

Follow the money?

I am sure Perdue is getting some nice perks—likely why he held out for the past week...saw Lee getting campaign contributions and Google and Facebook locating large new data facilities in Utah...

This is what is on record from one source for Lee:

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. All lobbied intensively on behalf of S. 386.

I have put it on my calendar to call and email Trump Friday and next week if this pig of a bill passes...

This does not MAGA!!!

If they pass this, I am hoping blow back to Senators this week will get Trump’s attention and give him support to Veto this...

Tech titans/globalists are doing their best to stop Trump; why would he want to sign bill that they are paying for?

Why would anyone here want to support a bill that Kamala Harris sponsored with Lee?!?!
