GOP Sen. Mike Lee urged Indian supporters of his green cards giveaway bill to press Democratic leader Sen. Dick Durbin to stand aside on Thursday so Lee can pass his bill which rewards Indian graduates who take jobs from American graduates. Lee’s call to Indians came during his surprise live broadcast from his Senate website:
I’m going to seek unanimous consent again tomorrow to try to pass this bill in law tomorrow. We are concerned about the possibility of an objection being brought forward by my colleague, Senator Dick Durbin from Illinois. I hope that Mr. Durbin does not decide to bring about an objection. Mr. Durbin is a friend of mine. He and I have worked together on a number of issues. So if you happen to know Mr. Durbin, or know of anyone who is close to him, or who he might listen to him, please encourage him to not object to unanimous consent passage of the Fairness for High Skilled Immigrants. If he doesn’t object, we can get this thing passed and get it passed tomorrow.
Lee’s statement was in response to a question from a temporary visa worker in Salt Lake City, named “Akheel,” (ph), who said he has been living in the United States and working for 15 years to eventually get a green card from his employer.

How many other US senators ask foreign nationals to lobby congress members?
NO H1B! NO GREEN CARDS! Let’s free Indian workers and their families from High Tech Slavery and send them home to their families in India. I’m sure Prime Minister Modi can find them jobs at home.
Mike Lee was a virtual clone of Ted Cruz until the election of Donald Trump. He’s gone 180 on immigration, particularly with tech migrants, and sadly is approaching the NeverTrump position of Utah’s biggest mistake, Mitt Romney.
Some say that “sponsored” Representatives should wear the logos of those corporate sponsors on their jackets — just like professional golfers — so voters could see whose “interests” their Representative really care about.
Would love that!
There are no conservatives in the Senate: not one.
One No vote on remaining in session would have given Donald Trump recess appointments.
