Rick Scott Torpedoes Mike Leeā€™s S.386 H-1B Outsourcing Bill

 

Sen. Rick Scott, R-Fla., announced his strong opposition to Utah Sen. Mike Leeā€™s S.386 outsourcing bill, likely sinking the Utah Republicanā€™s bill for the rest of the year.

 

Leeā€™s S.386 bill aids the tech industry and visa workers from India and China ā€œat the expense of American workers, highly skilled immigrants, workers from Latin America and Europe, as well as Floridaā€™s most important industries,ā€ Scott wrote in the August 31 op-ed in the Miami Herald. He continued: Iā€™ve heard from many constituents about how this bill would impact people in Florida, especially those who came to Florida from Latin America. Floridaā€™s booming economy and location as the gateway to Latin America has allowed us to become a global hub for trade and business. We must look at the sectors that eliminating this cap would unjustly benefit, particularly the tech industry, and what sectors it would hurt. We need a new approach that protects American workers and protects the diversity we cherish, and I am hopeful my colleagues in the Senate will be willing to work with me toward those goals.

 

Scott noted that the legislation would have a huge impact on immigration ā€” yet it has gotten very little publicity: Right now the United States Senate is considering a massive overhaul to our nationā€™s immigration system. And, what is shocking is that it could pass without even a single vote in the United States Senate. You read that correctly: a major change to our immigration system is being considered under ā€œunanimous consentā€ in the U.S. Senate, which means this bill could pass without a vote ever occurring. It hasnā€™t yet passed because I am the only senator holding it up.

 

Scottā€™s op-ed shows that Leeā€™s S.386 will be blocked until at least election day, said Kevin Lynn, founder of U.S. Tech Workers, which advocates for U.S. college graduates. ā€œThatā€™s a very solid ā€˜Noā€™ on S.386 ā€¦ It will be a cold day in a place beneath our feet when he will change his mind,ā€ Lynn added. ā€œIt is a well-considered objection,ā€ said Bob Heath, a Florida-based technology professional who is also an expert on H-1B fraud. The billā€™s Fortune 500 lobbyists ā€œpassed it through the House and tried to get it through the Senate with no hearing ā€“ no expert witnesses, no public debates, without anyone have to go on the record for or against,ā€ said Heath. He created the H1Bfacts.com database that is widely used to count visa worker jobs in each politiciansā€™ district. ā€œI called him and thanked him for opposing it,ā€ Heath added. ā€œGreat op-ed, so I called his office and left a message,ā€ said an American professional in Chicago.

 

Scott jumped into the long-running debate over Leeā€™s S.386 bill on August 5, with a surprise vote to block the passage of the bill via the no-vote Unanimous Consent process. His intervention came despite minimal media coverage of the bill, which also creates a new legal status ā€” ā€œgreen card liteā€ ā€” that would effectively allow Fortune 500 companies to recruit millions of foreign workers with the dangled offer of lifetime work permits in exchange for just a few yearā€™s low-wage labor. For example, Jeff Bezosā€™s Washington Post has almost entirely ignored the issue throughout 2017, despite the huge impact it would have on the newspaperā€™s college graduate readership. Jeff Bezosā€™s Amazon company employs many Indian H-1B workers. In his op-ed, Scott said any green card bill must protect American workers, noted Lynn. He added: The only way we can protect American workers is to have real reform of employment visa [programs] before any attempt is made to clear the green traffic jamā€ of Indians trying to get green cards, he said. ā€œReal reform will end this pipeline of cheap labor.

 

If the 300,000 Indian workers want to get through the traffic jam that they created as they try to get 20,000 green cards per year, ā€œthey need to accept reform first,ā€ he said. But their preferred fix, he said, is legislation that allows them to ā€œdrive on both sides of the highway [to green cards], forcing everyone else off into the gutter or on a side road, and that is not acceptable.ā€ The Indians ā€œbrought their style of dogfight politics to the U.S. It is not the way we do our politics,ā€ he added.

>it's funny how they like to call everyone conspiracy theorists when they all meet privately at bilderberg and then other forums like davos and shit in order to "shape the landscape" meaning they're all working together towards the same goals.

>the very essence of conspiracy.

 

Thinking the very word conspiracy was made up for them..they do believe they are the smartest people on the planet. Your statement is very accurate.
