‘Hate,’ ‘Stupidity’: Rep. Bacon Slams Citizen Opposition to Visa Workforce Bill
Retiring GOP Rep. Don Bacon says “hate” and ‘stupidity” are motivating the citizens who oppose his support of a cheap labor bill for the rural economy– even as multiple other GOP representatives are quietly quitting the amnesty push.
“What polling shows us is that approx 35% HATE all immigrants … And they’re loud,” Bacon said in a July 22 tweet.
“It’s time we stand up to stupidity,” Bacon responded when the pro-investor bill was criticized by a former top official in President Donald Trump’s first administration.
Pennsylvania Rep. Glen Thompson’s Securing America’s Workforce Act (SAWA) would massively expand the number of wage-capped H-2A visa workers in the rural economy. The bill would also allow many U.S-based illegals to gain legal status by working for food companies.
“This is about replacing entire segments of American [agriculture workforce] with foreign serf labor,” Rosemary Jenks, founder of the Immigration Accountability Project, told Breitbart News. The resulting loss of rural jobs and spending power — and the resulting out-migration of young Americans — will wreck many local businesses, including those owned by the members of many Chamber of Commerce groups, said Jenks.
Look, I’ve long stated that I support getting back to the system where the US provides visas for things like agriculture and home building, where they come for a bit of time and then leave, with the visas typically lasting less that a year. They don’t bring their whole families. Back when this was the norm the biggest complaint was about money being sent out of the country, with some blowing off the visa requirements and not leaving.
At this point, though, it’s difficult because there are so many damned illegals/fake asylum seekers, all the Dreamers, etc, who refuse to assimilate, who fly their own flags, won’t learn the language, and demand that the US change to accommodate them, all while receiving tons of taxpayer funded largess.
And squishy Republicans like Bacon do not help when they slam Republican voter. Can you imagine Democrats blasting their own base in this manner?
So far, four of 47 GOP members have announced they are ending their support of the bill: Nebraska Rep. Mike Flood, plus North Carolina’s Rep. Tim Moore, R-N.C., Georgia’s Brian Jack, and Indiana’s Mark Messmer.
Go away.
