Democrat Sen. Dick Durbin (D-IL) and GOP Sen. Mike Lee (R-UT) predicted Wednesday that they would pass their revised S.386 bill, which opens a new pathway for more foreign temporary workers to stay, take Americans jobs, and lobby for more green cards.
[ ] Utah GOP Sen. Lee said [ ]:
"Im going to make sure weve got the buy-in that we need [from GOP senators]. I want to make sure the [GOP] cosponsors of the legislation are comfortable with what we negotiated, and they understand it I have every hope and expectation and confidence that this is going to result in something that can pass and will soon pass with the unanimous support of the members of this body."
[ ] the bill does create huge problems for the GOP by dramatically raising the population of foreign workers in the United States and by reducing the number of temporary workers who go home.
If the Lee-Durbin bill passes, more foreigners will try to get jobs in the United States, and more will apply for green cards because the bills Early Adjustment benefit is open to many temporary workers, said Jessica Vaughan, policy director at the Center for Immigration Studies. She added:
'The Durbin-Lee deal might be called the Staple a job offer and work permit to your temporary visa bill. Under the bill, anyone on a long term temporary visa who finds a professional job will, after a wait of 270 days, be able to obtain a three-year renewable work permit and permission to travel in and out of the country. It will be a status comparable to green card status, but without having to wait in line or be restricted by annual immigration limits. It will potentially apply to hundreds of thousands of people each year' [

Mike Lee bought and paid for.
Those who call themselves Americans better start doing the jobs they don’t want to do before our country is taken over by foreigners.
This bill is a slime attack .
The senators can ignore it and it will be passed .
There is NO voting on it so no voting trial.
Trump will sign this thing unless we scream now .
The Trump WH would have told Lee not to bother months ago .
They have not done that.
His administration aide namely Jared was trying to ram thru
a huge Indian invasion bill for the last two years
Recall the Koch Bros dinner at the WH
Dont get cocky and think it will be vetoed .
I would add the fund be paid for by a large fee placed on all money transfers leaving the US to any foreign country.
"GOP" would probably be against this if Obama supported this type of bill. We shall see what Trump will do. I'm inclined to say he will sign it.
“Lee is bought and paid for by the putrid U.S. Chamber of Commerce.”
I always thought he was a great Senator. I guess not! There are so many corporatists masquerading as Conservatives. If this is the way it is going to be than we Conservatives need to raise taxes on these corporate cretins. My opinion has changed on this question 180 degrees over the past several years.
Traitor. Your loyalty to foreigners eclipses that which you have for Americans.
He is such a disappointment. He drank the kool-aid from the Potomac and is just as bad as that little sh*t Paul Ryan in selling out the American people for cheap foreign labor. Between him and McRomney neither are worth a bucket of warm goat piss.
Working with Dick Durbin.
He may as well set up shop with Justin Amash and the Squatting Squad.
American dont want to do the jobs for the Third World wages that corporate globalists want to pay. We need to put Americans first, not corporate globalists or Third Worlders.
“Lee warned us...”
What exactly would he ‘warn us’ about? He’s a co-sponsor of that treasonous senate bill.
Everyone who votes for it should be (cue idiotic, dumbazz Re-Greta) “stood against a wall”.
Even the most green filthy Indian H1B fresh off the plane makes more than most Americans can make in places like King County or San Jose. Soon Austin, Denver, Charlotte etc joins the list. Only jobs left for Americans there are low-paying retail or grocery store jobs. Americans have been forced out of the industry by corporate greed and racist Indian managers that absolutely refuse to hire anyone but Indians once in a position of hiring authority. Funny after an Indian Product Manager (VP) was hired, the American resumes went from 100% to now 20% as H1Bs are allowed to apply now. 80% are now Indian applicants.
