Democrat Zoe Lofgren Pushing Green Card Giveaway into Spending Bill
Breitbart ^ | 10 Dec 2020 | NEIL MUNRO

Democratic Rep. Zoe Lofgren will put her Silicon Valley version of GOP Sen. Mike Lee’s S.386 green card giveaway bill into the year-end omnibus bill — if top GOP leaders stand aside, say sources and lobbyists.

The GOP leaders who can stop Lofgren’s bill include Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R.Ky., appropriations chairman Sen. Richard Shelby, R-Ala., and Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., who recently won reelection.The Democrats “can sneak it through, so the leadership needs to draw the red line,” warned one Senate staffer.

Lofgren is an immigration lawyer and represents a district in Silicon Valley. She pushed for the 2019 passage of the House bill, H.R. 1044.

The bill would allocate most of the annual supply of green cards for employees to the valley’s huge workforce of Indian and Chinese visa workers. That shift would also help the technology companies recruit another wave of Indian migrant workers instead of American graduates.

Lofgren’s bill is designed to deliver fast track green cards to the workforce of roughly 400,000 mid-skill Indian visa workers — and 70,000 Chinese — who have been imported by Silicon Valley and Fortune 500 firms.

The firms imported the visa workers to save some payroll money but also to deny American graduates the technology jobs, experience, and contacts they would use to launch rival companies and products.

70,000 more Chinese to spy & steal secrets. What a deal.

That is the start of a great idea. Let’s give Green Cards and or citizenship to the whole world. Then increase the IRS powers so they can charge everyone in the world taxes. That would pay off the National Debt in no time at all.

Keep up with the real news which is MUCH WORSE. We are currently importing 1+ Million green card immigrants EVERY YEAR.

Do you know what qualifications these new immigrants have? They have a relative in US who already has a green card or is a citizen. One of my own relatives sponsored her 75 year old mother for green card. After a short waiting period, the mother was paid $800/month for supplemental social security and medicaid coverage. The sponsor was not responsible for any of her mother’s expenses.

Most of those 1+ million new immigrants admitted with green cards are either no skills or low skills and no wealth. Guess who supports them? Welfare courtesy of US tax payers.

At least the workers Lofgren is trying to give green cards to ONE TIME are not on welfare and their number is about 6 months of welfare immigrants we import EVERY YEAR.

So keep all these proportions in mind.

Typical democrat, giving away green cards.

Republicans would sell them.

Every IT guy from India that comes into this country destroys an American family.

And an American business - they're almost always code drones with fictional resumes and diploma-mill degrees, hired because they work cheap and yield short-term payroll savings.
