To End The FReepathon
Posted on 12/05/2015 8:55:55 AM PST by Hojczyk
GOP House leaders are preparing a huge appropriations bill for a vote next week — and top GOP legislators want to include a rider that could allow employers to replace at least 100,000 blue-collar Americans with up to 264,000 foreign temporary H-2B workers.
The plan would actually cost taxpayers billions of dollars each year, because the unemployed Americans workers won’t pay taxes, but would get unemployment checks and welfare aid from the taxpayers.
The GOP’s pink-slip plan would also cut the wages of many other American workers before the 2016 election. That’s because the foreign temps hold down the normal wages that Americans could otherwise negotiate in a free market for their labor.
The GOP legislators, the House appropriations committee and the GOP’s leadership would not respond to repeated requests for information about the measure. A Hill aide, however, provided Breitbart with documents indicating legislators are pushing to include it in the omnibus bill. GOP leaders plan to rush that huge spending bill through the House by the end of next week.
The complex bill is a gift to donors and businesses because it would allow them to reduce wages offered in advertised jobs, thus deterring American applicants and then justifying their requests for H-2B visa workers. It also provides a huge loophole that technically keeps the current annual cap of 66,000 H-2B workers — but excludes from the cap any H-2B workers who got an H-2B visa in the prior three years. That clever loophole would allow employers to simultaneously hire up to four years of H-2B workers, or 264,000 foreign workers.

I never heard of H-2B.
THe Cheap Labor Express owns most of your representatives.
Do what my district did and Cantorize your multi-national weasel.
The H-2b program (temporary workers) is not a replacement program. It says there must not be enough americans available.
We are waaaaaay past that option as a solution to what is being done to us.
You cannot stop tyranny (or ‘cleansing’) via civil means. PERIOD.
THIS is why we need Trump. TO SMACK THESE FECKLESS LIBERAL REPUBLICANS AROUND!
We need to get rid of omnibus bills.
One subject, one bill.

Correct.
We need more third world Muslims here to slack off, take handouts and plan jihad.
And they wonder why I don’t send them money anymore.
Republican congressmen for the most part do not represent any set of voters but rather the Chamber of Commerce. Elections are opportunities for voters to choose whom they prefer to represent Wall Street and the Chamber.
That, of course, is wide open to any interpretation the overseers choose to give it.
You’re right!
Remember Mississippi!
And not one of those would replace a vice President, President or CEO of those companies.
Who May Qualify for H-2B Classification?
To qualify for H-2B nonimmigrant classification, the petitioner must establish that:
There are not enough U.S. workers who are able, willing, qualified, and available to do the temporary work.
Employing H-2B workers will not adversely affect the wages and working conditions of similarly employed U.S. workers.
Its need for the prospective worker’s services or labor is temporary, regardless of whether the underlying job can be described as temporary. The employer’s need is considered temporary if it is a(n):
One-time occurrence – A petitioner claiming a one-time occurrence must show that it has:
Not employed workers to perform the service or labor in the past, and will not need workers to perform the services or labor in the future; or
An employment situation that is otherwise permanent, but a temporary event of short duration has created the need for a temporary worker.
Domestic terrorists as well as foreign terrorists.
Sheesh—I gotta go buy more ammo.
Do a search for “lawyers meet to show companies how to NOT find enough Americans”. They have seminars for these companies to figure out ways to deny Americans employment so they can hire foreigners.
