Unbelievable that the House Republicans would vote 140 strong for this bill. Dan Crenshaw, Texas played at super patriot and within a few months of his first election went full globalist traitor.

Not at all when you realize how many of them are OWNED by the Chamber of Commerce

And I doubt it even takes a whole bunch of money to buy one. A promise and a job offer to a C- son and you own one.

All I know is that if I was going to sell my integrity it would cost MORE MONEY than the Chamber of Commerce has

And they would never allow you into political office. There is some screening process that allows them to preselect only amoral people. These guys don't even blink.

As the member of the House once stated. "Don't tell my mother I'm a politician, she thinks I'm a prostitute."
The fact that she was joking at the time makes it even funnier

Nothing like selling out US graduates....I am in global tech....these folks occupy basic entry level jobs...the jobs our students need to begin careers

Not one internationally accredited institution of higher learning in India, bogus diplomas, false resumes....

So did Russ Fulcher of ID. Bought and paid for by Micron. He cares less for us than dirt on his shoes and hates Trump to boot. He needs to be relieved of the burden of leading us poor idiots.

They aren't elected to "lead" anyone. They are elected to govern and represent ONLY American citizens, not corporations, not foreigners, not ANYONE OR ANYTHING ELSE!

When I decided to vote for Fulcher it was because his profile as published in our paper here in the far north said he was a Trump supporter. I didn't know if that was true, so I thought I would give him a chance. He has had it. He is also a real estate pro and will benefit from the increases in housing prices. I hope he has enjoyed his short trip to DC. Now what do we do about Simpson?

I never figured Simpson could be swayed too much Simplot money. There’s only one choice for both of them find replacements and support them. Honest legislators who’ll do our work are few and far between. “The entire system” is the issue.
——
Government has gotten too big and is involved in WAY too much. My belief is in exposing and consolidating the ENTIRE tax system into one legal method of taxation or extracting money from the public and in my opinion that should be a consumption tax. About the time people felt the entire bite of taxes of in EVERYTHING they buy they’d get involved in what was being spent and by WHO in a BIG hurry.
—-
The growth of government the world over is enabled by the careful burial of taxes in things like phone, electric, 911, gasoline etc. you used to see signs at the pump that broke it out. Income taxes the world over allows government to sell the specious concept that voters are GETTING EVEN with the evil rich. Two questions 1) why are rich people evil when they create jobs 2) why should ANY group be able to vote for people to pay taxes they themselves won’t pay?
——
I also believe that centralizing taxation to the point where taxes aren’t magnified by taxing on top of other taxes our money will be worth since “money supply” won’t have to exist to support this. It’s taken nearly 100 years to make a total mess of our country and it won’t be solved tomorrow but embarking on finding politicians who want to un-create government by not being “career politicians” is the challenge, and it must start locally and bubble up.

I sent an email to my Republican U.S. Rep who voted for this bill and told him I will not vote to provide campaign contributions to him in the future.
I have received no response.

Backstabbers.

Brought in part by our Texas RiNO's Brady, McCaul, Hurd and Crenshaw. Shame.

Voting is an illusion.

seems that way. A study out of Princeton in 2014 showed the U.S. was an oligarchy and always backed first the billionaires, followed by financiers and then lobbyist. We voters have a statistically zero influence on government. Unlike previous times when the oligarchs arose from the American middle class, these new oligarchs hate the American middle class.

Difference this time around is that tens of millions of Americans hate them. The numbers are on our side. Heads on pikes...heads on pikes!

better hurry up. I am already so old that the best I could do is lay across a sandbag and defend a position - no more wind sprints for me. But I was a terror infantryman in Vietnam. I put a ton of lead into trees, hill sides, bushes and vines. Good luck.

Stop complaining. Tell Mitch McConnell what you think:

https://www.numbersusa.com/...

unless you are a billionaire and give big bucks to these congressmen you have no say in this government.

Remember the Princeton Study where they determined the American government is an oligarchy and has been for a long time. I think the difference today is the oligarchs hate the American working class. The old oligarchs, the Rockefeller, Carnegie, Ford, etc came from the American middle and shared our values. We are now ruled by a different tribe and they will be happy to see us gone.

Since we wont go for communism they are importing a group that will.

Do you get in your post box requests for contributions for candidates from such PACs as Seal PAC? I actually gave a small contribution to Dan until I saw how he voted on HR. 1044. It was smalls I had last a good CAD job in the early 2000s and after being out of work for five years I had to take whatever I could get so I ended up in what was not much more than min. wage. It may have been due to outsourcing I could not land a new job. So my response not for these requests is to check how they voted on HR. 1044 or S. 386. If they voted YEA what they get is an envelope with how they voted. SEAL PAC with all the photos has a note on how each face voted. McSally, especially gets it back with her photo, the tough broad look. I'm not impressed. I spent months at sea on a nuclear submarine and my father was a combat engineer in the Pacific during WW2. One of my 2 x great grandfathers was wounded at the Battle of Cold Harbor and left a cousin dead at Gettysburg during the Civil War. These impress me as they were about the USA not themselves.

I go directly to the candidates web site. The PACs are there for the big dollar donations that exceed the 5700.00 limit the candidate can take. At least that is my understanding. Also the PAC is legally forbidden to coordinate with the candidate. Dan Crenshaw strikes me as a phony and a cheap labor globalist. Agree about HR 1044. McSally lost to an openly bisexual liberal after she and Mitch bumped Kellie Ward. Her current Senate job is a fill in to McCain's seat. I read she is in danger of losing that to a Democrat. I was an airborne infantryman in Vietnam and that really qualified me to be an airborne infantryman. The idea that veteran status makes for a better politician never made much sense to me. You job situation is a crime. I managed to work as a computer programmer until I retired in 2008. I was very lucky to have made it. I talked with a guy who had been a farmer, then a heavy equipment operator in the Army and he could not get a job planting trees in Washington state. The employer told him flat out that he used Mexicans and required Spanish on the job. This was 15 years ago and I suppose they would hide it now but job discrimination against Americans is the norm. Take care partner.

I agree, but I add to it, though it does require a bit of extra effort, but I'm trying to take a page from two books, Sun Tsu's Art of War and Musashi Yamamoto's Book of Five Rings. I actually take some of the articles and set them up unedited to print and mail to anyone from the rep or senator to voters. Not huge numbers and random and when I see someone in the district flying a USMC flag or American flag.
You may say I'm rattling the cage a bit. I thank you for your service! If you don't know Trevor Loudon have a look at his page and see if you recognize anyone. His book and documentary "Enemies Within" will be of interest, but here Big Tech scrubbed his videos. Still anyone you might recognize? https://www.trevorloudon.tv...
Here's a bit of ammo for the next time you turn into someone that thinks Hillary was a good choice.

You reminded me of one candidate that was primaried with help of Republicans when he ran against McCain. That was before Ms. Ward. You also bring to mind another programmer, Mike Emmons, that was outsourced at Siemens ICN. He put up a page in 2002 or so called www.outsourcecongress.org It's down now but had great material and was able to download an investigative report he captured from a local TV station in Lake Mary, FL. It looked at L-1 and H1-B visas. Thanks again. I'm glad to have served as it got me a lot of brothers! Keep up the fight! One thing I've learned is I'll approach the problem like a mouse carry's away a block of cheese, a nibble at a time. When I put on the uniform I joined a team. Best thing I ever did.

It may have something to so with the fact that when I last checked only about 10% of STEM undergrad students in the USA were American, what to speak of post grad. It seems Americans not interested in STEM, more into MBA, and Law.

Americans have been pushed out of STEM as they can't get jobs in the field. Americans invented the entire field and led the world in technology for 150 years but starting around 1990, financiers became the dominate force in America and began to move jobs, technology and capital off shore. At the same time, they started importing cheap labor by the millions into the country. I made a good living as a software engineer starting in 1972 and retired in 2008. During that time I spoke to many young people who correctly evaluated their career chances and began to move out of the field. Woman traditionally have worked in STEM as research assistants and they have been pushed out by cheap forgiven labor. I and others believe the replacement is planned and deliberate.

Then I wonder why people blame the Indians. When the real culprits are at home.

People do blame those at home but it is human nature to dislike the guy who got your job. Also tribalism. You can bet Indians living in America dislike Americans. You should read Amy Chua's book "Political Tribes: Group Instinct and the Fate of Nations". It is a great book right up to the last chapter when she serves up a bunch of feel good stories.

You can not blame any one but the short sighted leader in the White House.

You suffer from extreme shortsightedness if you can't see past Trump. The replacement of Americans by cheap foreign labor has been going one for years. Ronald Reagan started it with his proposed North American Accord for the "free movement of goods and people" form Mexico to Canada. Reagan proposed that in '79 as a campaign promise. Bush Senior took the North American Accord idea and negotiated what became NAFTA. He signed it "in principle" with Mexico and Canada in '91. Clinton took office and he and Republican House Speaker Newt Gingrich worked together to make it law. In 2001, Bush Junior lobbied for China to join the WTO and that really was the end for U.S. manufacturing. Reagan, Bush Sr, Clinton, Bush Jr,, and Obama were nothing more then front men of the financiers. I can't call Trump a front man because I doubt he even knows what he might do tomorrow.

mea culpa. Sorry, my spelling mistake, It should be "leaders" you are right, it is a long standing decades old policy. Not Trumps fault. It will take him a long tme to clean all the pig $h1t from the barn.

So...if the President signs this invitation for a legal foreign invasion, is he also a full-on globalist traitor?

absolutely although Trump transcends normal labels. His campaign promises were just applause lines. He is closer to a performer in the WWE. I voted for him and that was the first time since Ross Perot. I let my voter registration lapse in 2018 and will sit out 2020.

Until we take the money out of Washington, our corrupt elected officials will continue to screw us. Both parties are equally guilty of this. there are plenty of qualified Americans, we are screwing our own people by doing this.

The 2019 Congress and Senate will go down in history. The group of sell outs who destroyed the middle class while enriching themselves.

House - Praising bipartisan bill as a means to come together. No, sell out to lobbyists for campaign donations and possible future jobs as Lobbyists.

Senate - Will debate bill but same as the House, will go along, same Lobbyist payoffs.

Trump 2016 - End H1-B visas, here are my Disney friends who lost their jobs.

Trump 2019 - Signs bill expanding H1-B's, Disney who?

More H1-B's who eliminate good paying white collar jobs. Loss of tax revenue while both houses keep spending more.

Housing and living expenses rise due to mass LEGAL migration.

H1-B pays no SSN nor does employer, the system defaults.

Big business and Wall St enriches themselves while Indians, mostly male, dominate tech and non Indians need not apply. Caste system expanded.

The founding fathers roll in their graves while the Republic crumbles.

I saw your screen name and thought it looked familiar. I just ran across the blind swordsman on youtube. It is the '60s version.

I am not a movie goer and have not owned a TV in my adult life but I was struck by the scenes and photography in the '60s TV version. I guess it is called cinematography and seems way beyond American TV standards. I'll check out Takeshi Mike and begin my film education. ha and start to really bore people.

Yes he did because he knew it was best for our interests. We help a few people and they commit to helping us.

The middle class Americans are finally fed up with our wages being stagnant because of massive immigration schemes such as this. Americans must come first.

Bull, they don't help us, they abuse us.

You are an Indian. We don't want you in this country.

Sorry to disappoint but I was born here. I just realize we can share the wealth.

Trump does if he signs the bill.

Indian national?

Then why are American IT workers having to train the Indian H-1B Indian replacements? Stop blaming our American graduates and workers you corporate shill!

Indeed.
How quickly we forget the Disney IT workers being replaced by foreign workers for whom they had to provide job training. (A little over a year ago the legal fights ended.)

I've been there and watched it happen. 300 IT workers required to train their Indian replacements before they get layed-off. And the idea that the Indian replacement is highly skilled is BS. What's worse is they are lazy. They do the absolute minimum amount of work. I ran onsite and off-shore teams. OMG, like flogging a dead cat. Tell them what you want done and they will do the easiest part only. Finally they are only there for a couple of years before going back to India. So any knowledge goes with them and someone has to train there replacement. After a while you wind up with a department full of noobs.
