Koch groups ask White House to spare work visas
The Hill ^ | 6/12/20 | RAFAEL BERNAL

Two groups affiliated with conservative mega-donor Charles Koch asked Thursday for top administration officials to reconsider a plan that would reportedly curtail the issuance of most temporary work visas.

In a letter to National Economic Council Director Larry Kudlow and senior White House advisor Jared Kushner, top representatives of Americans for Prosperity (AFP) and the Libre Initiative requested "that this administration refrain from imposing additional barriers on non-immigrant visas."

The letter, signed by AFP Chief Government Affairs Officer Brent Gardner and Libre Initiative President Daniel Garza, argues that recovery from the 2008 financial crisis was in large part driven by immigrant workers and innovators.

The Koch-suckers group can pound sand. They should be arrested as illegal foreign agents.
No H1B or other smelly foreign communist scab visas, and send the ones already here back, never to return.
America is full.
American jobs, resources, and prosperity for Americans only!

40 million American jobs lost this year and these guys want to import more workers from other countries.

That is not America first.

Cancelling work visas would help Black Americans the most. Anybody who supports work visas is racist.

Here's what this is about: Koch wants foreign workers from a desperate situation that want to get into, and stay in, this country at any price, including industrial peonage.

It is not uncommon for a Koch-owned business to have longtime employees replaced with people wearing ankle bracelets that return to the county jail at end of shift.

This sounds like the Babylon Bee but I tell you it is the truth.

There are some colorful descriptive terms that I learned while in the service.

Quite a few of them seem to apply to the open-borders scoundrels that are the Koch group.

I do hope our President will stay strong and resolute.

We do not need any more job (and culture) thievery.

“Is this the guy who refused to support Trump?“

I think so. Unfortunately, that doesn’t mean Trump won’t give Koch what he wants. Trump gives in to nevertrumpers quite a bit. He hires a lot of them too.
