H.R.5038 - Farm Workforce Modernization Act of 2019

"From the Congressional Record Online through the Government Publishing Office [www.gpo.gov] By Ms. LOFGREN: H.R. 5038. Congress has the power to enact this legislation pursuant to the following: Article I, Section 8, clause 4 provides Congress with the power to establish a ``uniform rule of Naturalization.'' [Page H8784]"

Urgent! Please call your Reps. uerge them to vote NO on this totally dishonest bill. People immigrating to the United States of America, must be vetted, must speak English, must be tested for communicable disease, must not have a prior criminal record...etc. That MUST go for the illegals here should this bill come even close to passing.

A further explanation of what is in (Rep. LOFGREN's bill")

There is no reason to call. The bill will pass the house but is DOA in the senate.

Nancy Pelosi is powerless except to develop a list of leftist measures to be carted out when she is charged with doing nothing. The list is of no value except to those that are powerless to accomplish anything

Yes, they are. I transcribed part of that hearing. As I remember it, the bill is to grant citizenship to long-time illegal ag workers who have been working here a long time.

Republicans tried to add an amendment that would require the applicants for citizenship to provide a track record i.e. proof that they had been here working in ag for a long time. That was shot down. Zoe Lofgren pathetically argued that expecting them to keep track of past employers was too hard. And besides, there was the penalty of perjury if they lied about that. Right, like that is every going to be prosecuted.

Another feature of this lovely piece of legislation was that an illegal couldn't be barred from citizenship even if he had prior multiple DUIs. Republicans tried to put in an amendment that would override that. It too was shot down. Zoe Lofgren pathetically argued that, well, we have members of Congress who've had DUIs; are we going to "boot them out" too?

That dumb bitch couldn't not have looked more bought and paid for by California's corporate farms if she'd tried.

By the way, the good guys in this fight were Buck of Colorado, Gohmert of Texas, and Chabot of Ohio.
