Sen. Mike Lee (R-UT) may use the Senate’s Unanimous Consent rule this week to pass his redrafted S.386 “country caps” bill, which rewards Indian graduates who take jobs from U.S. graduates, say a variety of lobbyists and advocates.
Lee’s campaign is being quietly pushed by technology companies, from behind the cover of a noisy group of Indian workers who were imported into the United States by U.S. and Indian managers at many mainstream U.S. companies. The group, dubbed Immigration Voice, is loudly blaming Sen. Dick Durbin (D-IL) for blocking Lee’s bill, partly to obscure GOP senators’ concerns and the growing protests by swing-voting American graduates. […]
The Lee bill would allow roughly 60,000 Indians workers (plus a similar number of family members) at U.S.-based companies to get green cards each year, up from the current annual inflow of about 20,000. In turn, the dramatically expanded offer to green cards to Indians would allow U.S. employers to hold out the huge prize of citizenship to many more Indians in exchange for several years of work.
There are no limits to the number of Indians who can get jobs in the United States each year via the various visa programs, including H-1B, Optional Training Program (OPT), L-1, TN, J-1, and O visas. […]
In December, Durbin and Lee drafted a compromise version […]
Durbin won a new “50-50” rule, which curbs the award of H-1B visas to the Indian-based outsourcing companies. […]
Durbin also won an “early filing” rule that would allow Indian visa-workers to escape dependence on their companies while they wait in the green-card backlog. […]
Lee’s latest draft delays the 50/50 rule for three years. That change gives U.S. technology companies three years to lobby for an indefinite delay and a maximum inflow of Indian outsourcing workers. […]

...and the further South the better.
So, between Romney and Lee, who is the “good” Utah Senator?

Mike Lee, Mitt Romney, Harry Reid...all cut from the same sick cloth.
Mumbai Mike Lee, that’s going to stick until it stinks to high heaven.
More Mormon treachery as they sell out America for 30 pieces of silver. Satan’s useful idiots, the Mormons.
Just wrote the President to veto S.386 “country caps.”
Mass layoffs have already started. My wife works for a well known tech company. Over 40 white males were hit hard. Company is still hiring Indians. Virus pandemic will cause more mass layoffs. We need to keep to reserve jobs for Americans. Mike Lee is a traitor. Investigate his sources of income...
“Mike Lee is a traitor.”
Governor (TN) Bill Lee isn’t much better. He’s inviting foreigners in to the state which will harm Americans. With Republicans like this, who needs Democrats?
H1B bump for later....
I am in California and trust me there is no shortage of tech workers or H1Bs from India. Maybe we can amend the bill to send every one of the newly imported workers to Salt Lake City.
There’s that Tea Party favorite again!
Why didn’t we just elect the president of the US Chamber of Commerce?
Not much diversity in that crowd
It seems he used the Tea Party to reach an office where he could charge more for his favors.
THAT’S WHAT I don’t get.
Lee has a 96 percent A rating conservative voting record.
What’s this nonsense??
I read here that he has gotten donations from google and amazon and others

H1-B interferes with our interests, IMHO.
How many in Congress are bought, at least in certain areas? I’d hazard a guess, which could be adjusted upon further information, that 80 to 90% of Dems, and roughly 40 to 50% of Republicans are.
#MumbaiMike must have received an exceptional payoff to keep pushing this
