Breitbart-
GOP Sen. Mike Lee’s (R-UT) revised S.386 Indian-giveaway bill makes a huge change in immigration law to help more than 600,000 Indians.
But Mike Lee’s bill also may allow investors to flood the white-collar labor market with at least 100,000 extra foreign college-graduate workers each year.
The complex S.386 bill was changed during closed-door negotiations with Sen. Dick Durbin (D-IL). The changes favor India’s huge workforce in the United States by removing the so-called “country caps,” which were designed to encourage immigration by a diversity of nationalities. This change means that the resident population of 300,000 Indian workers and their 300,000 family members get a fast-track to green cards and citizenship.
But the bill also creates a new legal status where imported workers could get a renewable work permit once their employers help to file an I-140 request for green cards. This change would effectively give Indians and other visa workers all of the workplace benefits of U.S. citizenship while they wait years for their green cards.
The work permit change is potentially good news for employers and investors because it encourages foreign graduates to flood into U.S jobs and so push down white-collar salaries. The flood would also be good for India’s government because it could help more Indians get U.S jobs and move more U.S. jobs back to India via the shared U.S.-India Outsourcing Economy.
But skeptics say that immigration law is so complex, and migrants are so determined that even slight changes can have huge unforeseen impacts. In 2008, for example, Congress unanimously passed a law, which now allows hundreds of thousands of “Unaccompanied Alien Children” to legally travel to their illegal-immigrant “parents” in the United States.
The S.386 bill has not had a hearing or a public debate, yet it dramatically changes current law in complex ways. read more
Why don’t we have enough Americans to do this work?
Another Day, another bought and paid for RINO.
Another SOB “representing” the people!
You have to destroy the middle class to have communism. It’s the only way to get to that utopia.

They wouldn’t approve this bill if it was 600,000 Indian lawyers who would work for $50 an hour as opposed to the landed elite lawyers who make $400 an hour….
They all have their own extraordinary income plans.
I want to know what or how much Dick Dirtbin gave Lee to make changes in the “negotiations”.
The Mormon hierarchy loves $$$.
I want someone to subpoena Mike Lee’s tax records; this guy is dirty.
Unfortunately, the K-12 education system in America–even before Common Core–does not produce engineers. “Add 8 plus 5 by making 10” indeed. We learned NOTHING from New Math.
The slimeball better not roll over and try to torpedo PDT. I don’t trust any pols on anything.
Well I think it’s safe to say the Senator Lee was paid off by somebody. I’d start checking his and his families financials and phone records and email accounts.
I worked (very briefly) with Indian programmers some years back and almost without exception they are the shit. The code is unreliable, takes three or four times as long in QA and the UAT testing is usually a nightmare. At a point you begin to wonder whether they even read the specs and can only scratch your head at the “universities” that grant them IT degrees. A friends company contracted out almost all their coding to an Indian firm and she spent the better part of the year flying back and forth between Toronto and Mumbai desperately trying to get these guys to deliver tested, quality code that actually followed the specs but despite a valiant attempt she never could. Finally the company severed it’s relationship with Mumbai.
Unless there has been a sea change in Indian code skills all Lee’s bill is going to do is move crappy coders from India to the US and give them low paying IT jobs which, in the end, won’t save these companies a friggin dime because of the re-writes.
When Impeachment mess is finally over and Trumps numbers skyrocket he ought to write an executive order canceling this mess. I suspect the timing by Lee is no coincidence.
A bought and paid for scumbag that couldn’t care less what those who voted for him want.
Mr. constitution shows us what big money can buy.
This man is scum.
Hmm? A foreign government. Meddling in the election and governance of The United States. Seems I’ve heard of such things.
Awaiting the presidents veto pen!
Only 600,000? What kind of moron his this maggot?
Maybe microsoft is moving their customer service to America and needs them on their phone banks.
I’m sure the Boeing engineering dept has a set aside for slots they’re eager to fill.
“Finally the company severed it’s relationship with Mumbai.”
Because of racism.
And he showed so much promise!
Let down and disappointed by yet another one!
Glad he only has 3 more years.
Liberal GOPbad for Deplorables!
Utah County (Provo/Orem) is exploding due to the tech industry. It’s becoming the new Silicon Valley, only run by Mormons.
Mike Lee: another victim(?) of the seduction of the Swamp.
Lordie, even worse than Cory Gardener or John Cornyn. Well done dirtbag, in a nest of scumbags, your scuminess oozed to the top.
WTF is up with Utah?
