House GOP leaders are quietly allowing business lobbyists to prod GOP legislators into voting for a huge jobs-giveaway bill, despite the harm to swing-voting college graduates, and despite the proven risks to GOP legislators’ support in their districts.
The GOP leaders’ inaction is also creating a campaign problem for President Donald Trump, who may be forced to veto or sign a Democratic-run bill which hurts white-collar suburban voters. [Snip] The bill’s chief sponsor in the Senate is Sen. Kamala Harris, who may face Trump in the presidential election.

Cheap labor ultimately comes at a high cost. I’ll be very very disappointed if this passes. And pray President Trump will veto.

I worked in the IT field before I retired. I lost track of all the good, experienced Americans who lost their jobs to kids with H1B visas who would work for a lot less. I don't blame those who took advantage of the program, or the companies that needed to remain competitive. But I do blame the government for allowing workers to come into this country when their job skills were already available from U.S. citizens.

I don't believe Kamala Mattressback is smart enough to come up with this. My guess would be a Never Trumper Rino with business experience.

I guess the young American "STEM" graduates can work as barristas and bartenders, huh?

Our legislators are no longer representative of the citizens, who do NOT want this in larger numbers than those who do. If our votes matter, why do WE not get to vote on these serious issues? Where are the recorded numbers for those of us who oppose this destructive process? We are being ignored.

Don't vote for incumbents unless there is a compelling reason. GOPe/Demo = Demo/GOPe

#5 is right. I am one of millions of citizen who had no say about immigration because I was never asked. It has gotten out of control in every way. This is what fundamental transformation looks like and national leaders don’t care what citizens think or the damage they do to the lives of others. But it is our country as much as it is the whores in DC and we have to figure out how to get it back. Even now they are weaving a web of surveillance and gun control to completely neutralize us but why should we submit to cynical laws that weaken the people and strengthen the elite? I have nothing against talented people immigrating and contributing to our society but it is hardly contribution when innocent Americans are destroyed in the process.

Kamel-face, going after white folks again, coming down in favor or foreigners, to stab American high tech workers and engineers in the back.
Hateful woman.

All H-1B does is give additional bodies to the low rent Indian run body shops for tech qorkers, half of whom have faked credentials, and on higher skill jobs US companies like IBM and Booz. All those STEM grads can't get a start. H-1B needs to be radically curtailed.

Unfortunately the Members of the UniParty Congress care a lot more about cozying up to the international corporations and the international investor class that have the money to hand to those politicians than to American workers who are out there across the country trying to make a living. As an example today there is a media report that Joe Biden has made 15 million dollars since the Obama Administration dissolved about two and a half years ago, during that time Biden has not had a job as far as is known, so obviously those earnings came from international corporations and the international investor class and not from American workers who are trying to grub out a living, sometime earning a depressed wage due to the massive importation of cheap foreign labor coming into the country both illegally and legally.

This is just another reason why I believe that the republican party will become extinct. You can only betray the American people so much before you lose their sup[port. The only reason the republican party is hanging on now is because of Donald Trump.

President Trump should veto if it gets that far. The reason is to weigh the few of the Indian workers compared to the massive amount of non-Indian workers and the harm that would be done on them. Enough of this carving out for special interests at the expense of the overall population.

How are 300,000 EDUCATED workers, something we desperately need, a bad thing?
The millions of UN-EDUCATED coming in illegally is the issue.
