Once again, Sen. Mike Lee (R-Utah)(RINO) asked for unanimous consent from the Senate this week to pass the Fairness for High Sk**led Immigrants Act, S. 386 in the Senate and H.R. 1044 in the House, that would lift per-country caps for employment-based green cards, but Sen. Dick Durbin (D-Ill.) objected. Sen. Durbin used his objection to introduce new legislation, the RELIEF Act, which would substantially increase the number of green cards issued each year, including clear the existing backlog of employment-based green cards over five years.

Sen. Lee's bill has faced heavy opposition from American tech workers and other groups. The bill would remove the per-country cap that restricts the number of employment-based green cards that can go to nationals from each country, allowing for most of the future green cards to go to nationals from India. The American Workers Coalition has said that "the silent epidemic of cheap foreign labor displacing American workers will continue and worsen if this legislation is passed."

Sen. Durbin has objected twice to Sen. Lee's request to pass the legislation through unanimous consent. Sens. David Perdue (R-Ga.) and Rand Paul (R-Ky.) have also objected. But Sen. Durbin's objection, like that of Sens. Perdue and Paul, is not based on his concern for American workers, but rather because he thinks the better solution is to massively increase the number of green cards issued each year. His RELIEF Act, that he co-introduced with Sen. Pat Leahy (D-Vt.), would:

Eliminate the current green card backlog over 5 years, which would result in an increase of 4 million green cards over the next 5 years.
Increase annual immigration by removing spouses and minor children from the employment-based pool of green cards and shifting them to the immediate family categories. This would result in an increase of between 50,000-100,000 green cards per year.
Eliminate the per-country caps for employment based green cards.

So, they want to import foreigners to take our jobs, your kid's job, to save employers money. Keep v****g
for the death of your country??

Who is "they"?

Corporations want to hire i*****l a***ns. Rich people want to hire them to "man" their golf courses.

Do you think Democrats why to hire them or share holders. Who are share holders? Mostly Republicans, who typically don't make their money panning for gold. So go ahead, Force corporations to hire "over paid" lazy American millennials.

Again, you demonstrate just how dumb a can of soup can be.

I suppose we can add this last statement of yours to the rapidly growing list of things you think you know that just ain't so.

All of this is illogical. We allow foreigners to attend universities here, teach them everything we know, then allow them to return to their country of origin to use that knowledge against us. Employers complain that they can't find enough sk**led workers so need to import them, while we refuse to train Americans for those jobs.................unless they ( or their parents ) have enough money to get the training on their own.

Here it is in black and white:

We export our technological/industrial secrets by training foreigners ( why would China steal our stuff when they can get it for free? ).

What secrets aren't shared at universities, we share with foreign workers who ship it home, because there aren't enough qualified Americans to fill those jobs.

We deny Americans the education/training they need to fill those jobs, because they can't afford it and we refuse to subsidize it.

So, tell me who wants all the i******s to come into America? Who is trying to stop the wall?
Now dump can you be? Seems you know zip!

I know for a fact that canned nuts and soup are stupid: prove me wrong.

Sew_What

I can be very "now dump". It used to be cool.

What do you want to know about "zip", most writers would call it onomatopoeia.
