GOP Legislators Push Plan That Could Replace Americans, Import 264,000 Foreign Workers

The complex bill is a gift to donors and businesses because it allow them to reduce wages, thus justifying their demand for cheaper H-2B visa workers. It also provides a huge loophole that technically keeps the current annual cap of 66,000 H-2B workers — but excludes from the cap any H-2B workers who got a H-2B visa in the prior three years. That clever loophole would allow employers to simultaneously hire up to four years of H-2B workers, or 264,000 foreign workers in place of 264,000 Americans.

Obama’s Secret Migration Plan: Work-Permits For Millions of Foreign Professionals

President Barack Obama’s deputies have drafted a new amnesty memo that would quickly allow employers to get work-permits for a huge number of lower-wage foreign graduates.

Marco Rubio Tries to Sell Gang of Eight Talking Points to New Hampshire Voters

Only days after Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-NY) bragged that he personally, “recruited Marco Rubio to be part of our group of eight” to sell his immigration vision, Rubio appeared in a New Hampshire Republican presidential candidate forum using nearly identical talking points to those he employed to push the Obama-backed Gang of Eight bill through the Senate.

Immigration to Swell U.S. Muslim Population to 6.2 Million

Pew Research has estimated that immigration will cause the population of U.S. Muslims to more than double over the next two decades—from 2.6 million in 2010 to 6.2 million in 2030. This demographic change is entirely the product of legal admissions–that is, it is a formal policy of the federal government adopted by Congress.
