Sen. Rick Scott Portrayed as KKK member by Visa-Worker Group
Breitbart ^ | 6 Aug 2020 | NEIL MUNRO

The primary lobby group for India’s contract workers in the United States is turning its invective against Sen. Rick Scott (R-FL) after he blocked the bipartisan bill to supercharge the flow of India’s visa workers into U.S. white-collar jobs.

The group, titled Immigration Voice, quickly posted a Facebook image of Scott in KKK garb after his August 5 surprise intervention in the effort by Sen. Mike Lee (R-UT) to pass his unpopular outsourcing bill.

The group’s post was quickly removed, amid criticism by other would-be immigrants and by Americans [...]

The group’s invective continued right up to Durbin’s August 5 cave-in to Lee, when he agreed to let Lee’s S.386 bill pass the Senate by unanimous consent.

Scott then intervened to block the Unanimous Consent approval of Lee’s bill. He said he wanted to protect Spanish-language migrants to Florida, and added, “I’ve also spoken to the White House, and agree we need more time to study the proposal and to understand its impact on our immigration system,” he added.

“We were very pleased to see Senator Scott stand up for American workers, and we hope he will continue to stand up,” said Rosemary Jenks, policy director for NumbersUSA.

But, she said, many Senators are afraid to oppose Immigration Voice’s aggressive tactics, which include harassing phones call to Senators’ offices.

What’s pushing this is that Durbin has demonstrators outside his office calling him a racist. It is clearly aggressive — but why would they not do so when they look around the country and see what else is happening? [...]

These Indian workers are slaves. They have a third of their income taken from them. They get few benefits. They take American jobs because they work in bad conditions for Indian companies who sell their work for a large slice of the pie. The big companies in India and Pakistan make the profits while these people are stuck with their passports held and their paychecks looted.

China has a different scam. They have workers in China who make a certain amount of money. But a portion of the work force are convicts that are paid very little. So someone like Nike can pay some workers normal wage while other workers are slaves who come from prisons to do the hard work.

These workers are not hired because they are just cheaper. They are hired because they can be fired. They can never sue. Companies don’t need to pay benefits. And they can work long hard hours under any condition.

Facebook is okay with the foreign sponsored meddling in our election?

My experience with Scott’s office is they are more pro-Spanish than anything to help English constituents.

The proper response to this, is to point out that the KKK was the terrorist arm of the Democrat party. Obviously, the people who made the graphic are confused as to what party he is in.
