On Tuesday night, while the nation had its full attention on the heartbreaking images still coming out of Oklahoma, and the aftermath of yesterday’s devastating tornado, the Senate Judiciary Committee approved the most far-reaching amnesty bill ever brought before Congress.
In a 13-5 vote, the committee passed the Border Security, Economic Opportunity, and Immigration Modernization Act (S. 744), which not only offers legalization to the untold millions of illegal aliens currently inside the United States, but also greatly increases the number of highly skilled foreign workers to be admitted into the U.S. annually…Thus, further displacing American workers.
Fox News reported:
Under the compromise, the number of highly skilled workers admitted to the country would rise from 65,000 annually to 110,000, with the possibility of a further rise to 180,000, depending in part on unemployment levels.
Firms where foreign labor accounts for at least 15 percent of the skilled work force would be subjected to tighter conditions than companies less dependent on H-IB visa holders.
All Democrats on the committee voted in favor of S. 744, with Republicans Lindsey Graham (SC), Orrin Hatch (UT) and Jeff Flake (AZ) joining them.
The final version of the bill contains provisions making those here illegally immediately eligible for welfare benefits and free medical coverage under Obamacare, though it does not contain one so-called ‘trigger’ for border security.
When the committee announced that the measure had passed, a group of La Raza supporters began rythmically shouting “Si Se Puede!”
The chants raised many smiles among the committee members.
The bill will now go before the full U.S. Senate for a vote.
