A spending bill, labeled as a relief package for Americans during the Chinese coronavirus crisis, will allow federal bureaucrats to import more foreign workers to take blue-collar jobs in the United States – even as 17.8 million Americans remain jobless.
A provision slipped into the more than 5,590-page spending bill allows the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and Labor Department to import more foreign labor competition against Americans at their discretion.
Specifically, the bill gives DHS the ability to “increase the total number” of H-2B foreign visa workers who can be brought into the U.S. to take blue-collar, nonagricultural jobs that would otherwise go to working class Americans.
DHS Secretaries over the last four years have repeatedly allowed businesses to import more H-2B foreign visa workers above the annual cap of 66,000. Continuation of the policy would come as 24.5 million Americans are unemployed or underemployed. About 17.8 million of those are jobless.
The H-2B visa program has been widely used by businesses to drag down the wages of American workers in landscaping, conservation work, the meatpacking industry, the construction industry, and fishing jobs, a 2019 study from the Center for Immigration Studies finds.

Somebody please tell me which cretin put this into that horrid bill.
I want names.
That is insane!
The lunatics in Congress are revealing that they really don’t care about us.
So let’s say we get the “names” and we decide they should be voted out......
IT IS TIME TO TAKE WASHINGTON DC.
Good! This is awesome. The ruling class has figured out no one watches, no one cares. The only ones paying attention to what the ruling class does are “right wing extremists”.
The only way for the sheeple to pay attention is for the ruling class, (notice I say ruling, not governing), to run roughshod over the sheeple. If that doesn’t generate attention and concern, they we’re doomed anyway.
Let’s get all of our goodies in the bill in the middle of darkness. The American people will not know. They will be happy with their $600.
The Fed Govt. plus both houses are pure trash. Look at Barr. Add the CIA, FBI, State Dept, DHS etc. Our Fed prosecutors do zip against other crooks like them.
Isn’t this what the free traitors supported?
They never have. This should not surprise anyone.
“Isn’t this what the free traitors supported?”
FR used to be infested with them. Where did they all go?
