Investors are rushing a bill through the GOP-run Senate that would reward Indian college graduates for taking U.S. college-level jobs at low wages from young American graduates.
Utah GOP Sen. Mike Lee will ask the Senate on Thursday to approve his Indian outsourcing bill via “Unanimous Consent.” If no Senator objects, the radical bill will be considered to have passed the Senate.
A similar bill has already passed the House, numbered HR.1044, with the aid of 140 GOP votes.
Both bills are backed by India’s government that wishes to grow its economy by exporting more workers into jobs in the United States, Europe, and the Middle East. The Lee/Harris bill would encourage this outsourcing by rewarding at least 100,000 Indian workers and spouses with green cards each year, up from the current “country cap” award of 20,000 green cards to Indians.
GOP Majority Sen. Mitch McConnell has the power to block the unanimous consent vote, as does any single Democratic or GOP Senator.

As someone who had their I.T. job outsourced to India, yes I have a problem with this. More proof the government has let us down.
ReplyDeleteThis is similar to how Obamacare was foisted upon us!
ReplyDeleteWhy out source more jobs? When you contact customer service or any business you have to put up with individuals that do not speak clear ENGLISH and have very heavy accents. Are we not living in America where we speak ENGLISH? Bad enough we have to put up with non-English speaking illegals that we shouldn't have to put up with people who do not speak clear ENGLISH.
ReplyDeleteI am disappointed in Mike Lee!
ReplyDeleteThis is counter productive and should not happen.
