Republicans Slip Massive Foreign Worker Expansion into DHS Funding Bill
Breitbart ^ | 07/10/23 | John Binder

Posted on 07/10/2023 7:37:03 PM PDT by AnthonySoprano

House Republicans have slipped a massive foreign worker expansion into their Department of Homeland Security (DHS) spending bill, a blow to the GOP’s promise to protect the nation’s working class from powerful special interests.

After markups and hearings, Republicans on the House Appropriations Committee approved the DHS spending bill which would blow the lid off blue-collar migration caps to the United States, spurring an influx of foreign visa workers in the labor market with whom working class Americans would have to compete for jobs.

“Who represents the working class? This bill suggests it’s not necessarily Republicans,” Jeremy Beck of NumbersUSA told Breitbart News.

Like the H-2A visa program, the H-2B visa program has long been documented for its history of displacing blue-collar Americans from their jobs and lowering wages.

The uniparty strikes again, it’s starting to look like a ‘blue wave’ next fall. Pretty obvious why the ‘red wave’ never materialized last fall and it certainly won’t next fall. The do-nothings have proved their worthlessness right on schedule.

The Republicans are on TV talking about Aliens, reaching across the aisle, and every stupid thing you can dream up - because we’re in the midst of the Biggest Scandal is US Political History.

Tom Cotton was on TV tonight, he didn’t mention Biden.

A GOP Rep from TN was on talking about Aliens, and he complimented Adam Schiff’s work on the Alien Issue.

Rubio was on shows last week speaking about Aliens.

No surprise. Many congressmen (both the GOP & Dems) are OWNED by special interests.

Specifically, the $91.5 billion funding measure would loosen H-2A visa rules so that more industries related to the agricultural sector could import foreign workers and rewrites the program so that jobs do not have to be seasonal or temporary.

Not exactly taking jobs away from Americans, as most Americans do not engage in farm related work. There are still some blacks who engage in farm work. Those numbers are small also though. But the making it on a more permanent basis is surely something new.

Who needs enemies with friends like these?

Nothing unusual, if you consider GOP history...
The circle jerk continues...

That’s why MTG is an outcast.

I don’t think she’s an outcast anymore. I think she’s drinking the same KoolAid, but not taking baths in it like everyone else.

All of this comes down to one thing and one thing only, no matter how much anyone wants to deny it: VOTERS.

They continue to believe the BS and snakeoil that they’re told and sold every year when it comes election time.

“Just give me one more chance, I’ll live up to my promises next time.”

These people don’t give a sh*t about any of us.

Look at Lee in Utah. Tech companies moving into Salt Lake. Tech companies being dominated by Liberals. What does Lee do? He pushes for more H1B-visas to satisfy the tech folks in Salt Lake. He’s a fraud.

https://bigleaguepolitics.com/mike-lee-passes-big-tech-h-1b-visa-giveaway-in-senate-without-objection/

Here are some of the folks that donated to Lee’s campaign....Conservative Stalwarts...true icons to the Conservative movement:

According to Open Secrets.org that monitors federal campaign contributions, S. 386’s lead sponsor Mike Lee (R-UT) has been rewarded by his Silicon Valley supporters: Microsoft, $33,000; Google, $18,400; Amazon, $12,500; Oracle, $11,000; Mark Zuckerberg’s Facebook, $11,000 and the Koch-owned Koch Agronomic Services, $11,000.

Yup, Republican Senator Mike Lee is a no-sh*t Conservative Republican championing America First and taking care of American Citizens.

Which is more dangerous - someone who hates you openly or someone who hates you but pretends to be your friend?

True....but why continue to vote for them?

Because if we don’t, the Democrat will win?

Where has that gotten this country?

Next time someone calls about an election, just tell them in any tone you’d like...I will not be voting for ????, I do not care anymore.

And then find the one person that the incumbent and local media are saying is the Far Right, Fringe, MAGA on Steroids, the one that makes the most Conservative person you can think of look like AOC, and vote for that person.

Outsourcing is a real issue.

And you’ll find that Votes follow Political Donations.

I think we know these peeps aren’t tracked. Come here, end up doing Electric work in new houses, roofing, or other New Construction work - like AC, or decks.
