Democrat Sen. Amy Klobuchar is touting her support for amnesty and easy migration of blue-collar workers but she is hiding her support for laws that allow employers to hire foreign graduates for the white-collar jobs needed by Klobuchars college graduate progressive voters.
We know that immigrants dont diminish America, they are America, she told a February 13 event in Nevada organized by the League of United Latin American Citizens. [ ]
Klobuchar has a long history of support for white-collar migration, despite the impact on college voters in her home state.
In 2015, for example, Klobuchar backed a bill by then GOP Utah Sen. Orin Hatch that would allow universities and companies to cooperatively import an unlimited number of foreign graduates for the jobs sought by American graduates. ComputerWorld reported:
Technically, the bill is a reintroduction of the earlier I-Square bill, but it includes enough revisions to be considered new. It increases the H-1B visa cap to 195,000 (instead of an earlier 300,000 cap), and eliminates the cap on people who earn an advanced degree in a STEM (science, technology, education and math) field. [ ]
This bill is basically a wish list for the tech industry, said [EPIs Daniel] Costa.
In 2020, Klobuchar is also sponsoring the updated version of the Hatch bill. The bill, titled S.386, is being championed by Utah GOP Sen. Mike Lee. His bill would not change the overall number of green cards for foreign employees, but it would roughly quintuple the award of green cards to the unlimited number of temporary status Indians graduates who can take jobs from American graduates via the Optional Practical Training, L-1, and the H-1B programs.

Giving away America
Unfortunately its continuing under Trump. My nephew was recently let go from a good tech job , and was asked to train (remotely) the FIVE foreigners hired to replace him (I wont say what country they live in, but it has lower pay than the US you can be sure).
What has a Trump done to stop this? Laura Ingraham asked him in her televised interview last month and he tried to change the subject. He also said we need foreigners to do high tech jobs in US. In other words, he was mouthing the standard talking points of the cheap labor big donors
Im not sure how Trump run on this issue against Klobucher (or any other Dem) if he doesnt implement an America a First policy as he once promised
Has Mike Lee ever said WHY he supports this ... stuff?
I was laid-off from my Chinese overlords 7 years ago. Best thing that ever happened to me from a mental health perspective.
I agree.
My life has taken a different turn now, but before now, I was at a big multinational, in CA and TX.
No change, that I can see.
