Sen. Mike Lee Urges Indian Workers to Lobby Top Democrat for Green Card Giveaway Bill

Breitbart:

GOP Sen. Mike Lee urged Indian supporters of his green cards giveaway bill to press Democratic leader Sen. Dick Durbin to stand aside on Thursday so Lee can pass his bill which rewards Indian graduates who take jobs from American graduates.

Lee’s call to Indians came during his surprise live broadcast from his Senate website:

I’m going to seek unanimous consent again tomorrow to try to pass this bill in law tomorrow. We are concerned about the possibility of an objection being brought forward by my colleague, Senator Dick Durbin from Illinois. I hope that Mr. Durbin does not decide to bring about an objection. Mr. Durbin is a friend of mine. He and I have worked together on a number of issues. So if you happen to know Mr. Durbin, or know of anyone who is close to him, or who he might listen to him, please encourage him to not object to unanimous consent passage of the Fairness for High Skilled Immigrants. If he doesn’t object, we can get this thing passed and get it passed tomorrow.

Lee’s statement was in response to a question from a temporary visa worker in Salt Lake City, named “Akheel,” (ph), who said he has been living in the United States and working for 15 years to eventually get a green card from his employer.

Lee’s call to the Indians matched tweets from the lobby group of Indian visa workers, dubbed Immigration Voice. The group’s tweet urged their members to contact Durbin, who is the second ranked Democrat in the Senate: read more

  1. W-T-F?!?! Is it with Utah that “we” continually vote for and elect these turd holsters. Lee started out as a “Constitutionalist”, but I guess the Deep Swamp got to him.
    Quoth the Woodman, “Nevermore!”

  2. It’s kinda hard to fight the stupidity of the democrats while we have shitbags like Lee in our own ranks.
    Converting people to our view is nearly impossible when they can point to guys like him and they have a point.
