Lousiana GOP Sen. John Kennedy has blocked a bill drafted by a top Democratic Senator that would accelerate the flow of Indian visa workers and immigrants into Americans office jobs.
The American people deserve an immigration system that looks like somebody designed it on purpose, Kennedy told Democrat Sen. Dick Durbin during a polite conversation on the Senate floor. He said:
I am rising to object [to Durbins bill] because a number of my colleagues would like a little additional time to study this bill. But equally important, if not more important, many of my colleagues sentiment is that we should take this bill up first in the judiciary committee.
Kennedys October 16 objection blocked Durbins effort to pass his RELIEF Act via the Senates fast-track Unanimous Consent process.
Durbins RELIEF Act would double the annual award of green cards given to the cheap foreign workers who are hired by American companies for jobs in the United States. It would double the annual inflow to 120,000 workers by exempting their immediate families from the annual cap. The bill would also lift the annual country caps and so allow companies to annually reward roughly 100,000 Indian visa-workers with valuable, government-provided green-cards, up from 10,000 Indian workers a year under the current rules.
The touted virtue of the Durbin bill is that it would reduce the population of 300,000 Indian visa-workers who mostly work for below-market wages while waiting for years to get their promised Employer-Based green cards.
This so-called backlog population of 300,000 workers and 300,000 family members gets much sympathetic coverage from American progressives. But the backlog was created by the crush of Indians who accepted green-card nominations from companies in a barter payment for taking jobs, salaries, and careers that would otherwise have gone to American graduates.

Dems don’t want to water the garden, they want to flood it.
Is that a trick question? ;^)
Stop importing workers and train Americans for the job!
Pay Americans for the job - it's usually the H-1Bs getting trained by the Americans they're replacing.
AMEN! I’ve been in our IT organization for 20 years. We have about 250 people in our department and up until about 8 years ago, I could count on one hand the number of Indians working there. Then we had a change in management. Next thing you know, our VP was Indian and began not only outsourcing things such as monitoring and tier 1 stuff to Mumbai, but then larger chunks of the operation started to have some “turn over” with replacements, almost always Indian. Our development department is almost entirely Indian now. As a Systems Admin who maintains all the finance apps, I have a VERY close relationship to the Finance folks (especially those with some weight), and I believe that’s what has saved me so far, but I fear it’s just a matter of time before I’m replaced with a guy named Rajesh..
Indians in a position to hire will hire people that look like them. They have a nepotistic streak as well. They are like an invasive species, and whole groups and divisions are Indian. I blame the corporations who are selling out America for their 30 pieces of silver. They worship the bottom line and care nothing about heritage Americans. There needs to be a multigenerational ban on all foreigners admitted to this country. You know that big tech and the CoC would pull out all the stops to block such legislation.
