GOP Sen. Thom Tillis (R-NC) is championing legislation to reward Indian workers who take jobs sought by American college graduates. [...]
Tillis championed Sen. Mike Lee’s S.386 bill — which would give many more green cards to India’s contract workers — while he blocked the passage of Sen. Dick Durbin’s RELIEF Act giveaway to India’s workers [...]
The rival Lee and Durbin bills would remove the so-called “country cap” on the annual award of green cards to foreign nationals. Under that law, the roughly 800,000 Indian workers in the United States can get about 10,000 green cards each year. The disparity means that roughly 300,000 of India’s contract workers are working while waiting for green cards. The cards were promised as a reward by their employers in exchange for the workers accepting low wages to take Americans’ jobs.
Lee’s bill would allow 50,000 Indian workers to get green cards and citizenship each year. Durbin’s bill would allow roughly 100,000 Indian workers to get green cards and citizenship each year. Both bills also raise the number of green cards that can be given to the workers’ Indian families.
But the removal of the “country caps” would encourage many more Indians to take Americans’ jobs over the next ten years.
Under existing law, Indians can easily take Americans jobs by first getting “Optional Practical Training” work permits from U.S. colleges and universities. The OPT jobs also allow them to compete for slots in the H-1B visa program, which acts as an on-ramp to citizenship.
But only about 50,000 Indians are now enrolled in the OPT program because the multi-year pipeline to citizenship is blocked by the 300,000 Indians who are trying to squeeze through the 10,000-per-year country cap rule. [...]

Doctors do not think you can send your kids to Med School and expect them to live the high end lifestyle you had. The medical profession is next.
With pissant burr’s latest comment about the ‘fake’ whistle BLOWER...really odd he would comment since he hides in a bunker 11 of 12 months of the year...I guess his card holders of the smut they must have on the crook has forced him to slyly show his disgusting face...was sen warner holding him up when he made his comments - am sure he wrote them...more despicable now than even sen tillis in NC (right now)!
North Carolina already has a severe problem with ILLEGAL intruders & MS-13 members.
This Congressperson should try to tackle that for his state.
There is no need for these workers. Just a giveaway to large tech companies. Why reward silicon valley companies when they overwhelmingly donate to democrats?
They seem to have billions to buy housing for their workers - maybe they can spend some money training US students rather than cheap imported workers.
Teachers especially. It is easy to get a teaching certificate vs 8 yrs of med school.
If efforts fail, try again.
Giving up ‘’ain’t’’ the answer. The democraps don’t.
Both American political parties are dead to me.
Amen! What ought be done in cases where that effort fails?
If efforts fail, try again.
And in the intervening general election ... ?
The companies are not going to learn. They’ve been hiring and off shoring to incompetents since the 90s while firing competent and experienced developers and engineers.
Do our best with what we have. The election is a year away ... don’t quit. A lot can happen if enough conservatives join together NOW and keep FIGHTING.
maybe they can spend some money training US students rather than cheap imported workers. <<-—
Where do these Indians get their training?.....
I have an idea!
“Employers giving Americans jobs to Indians”
They couldn’t if the Indians were not allowed in.
Oh, hello Dr. Chakrabarti...Nurse Patel.
I thought I heard the other day that President Trump has endorsed Tillis! Couldn’t believe it.
RINOs destroying the US.
ust curious ... where to?
In my opinion it would serve a ‘’greater good’’ to be active in ‘’primaring’’ the rinos out of the party and join in getting more true conservatives put in. They’re out there and many just need wider support for them to run.
I’ve walked away from just bitching. I now participate and work at getting others active. If the democraps can do it, so can Conservatives.
I’d love seeing more join in.
AMEN!!!!
Or flood Tillis’ office with calls!!!
Doctors and nurses you are the next target for H-1B usurpation. On deck - teachers.
He endorses any GOP, even those Bush League Republicans who have proven themselves to be adversaries of the citizens and the rule of law such as McCain and Romney.
