Thread: THE CORPORATE WELFARE OFFICE IS BACK IN THE HOUSE TOMMORROW

If your not privy to the same information I get, tommorrow the house is expected to vote (in favor) of the reconciliation bill with 350,000 foreign jobs. Yes IT'S ALIVE. Time to burn down the house with hot phone call now. Call your legislators and say no to the reconcilation budget bill with 350000 foreign workers!


1. It would raise the annual cap on permanent employment-based immigration by changing the formula as follows: employment-based visas = 140,000 + any unused family-based visas from the previous year + (the lesser of 90,000 or unused employment-based visas from any prior year).

2. It exempts the spouses and children of employment-based immigrants from counting against the numerical cap, beginning in 2004. (In 2003, workers got 36,210 visas, and their spouses and children got 45,927 visas. Total visas could have more than doubled under this bill.)

3. It adds a fee of $500 per petition for most employment-based visa petitions. (The publicly-stated rationale for all these new greencards is as a money-making scheme to decrease the federal budget deficit.)

4. It allows alien spouses and children of citizens to adjust to Legal Permanent Resident status if the citizen abused them, died, or lost or renounced their citizenship; and it allows alien spouses and children of LPRs to adjust to LPR status if the LPR abused them or died.

5. Anytime the H-1B cap is reached, the lesser of 60,000 or any unused visas in any prior years are added to the cap.

Will be on the phone as soon as their offices open.

I would defer to dman he is on top of this situation. Please lend him support

Sho' Nuf!
