House Dems Want Amnesty for Illegals in Virus Relief Bill

It sounds like you guys are going to have one hell of a Virus Relief Bill. One for the ages.


A hundred or so House Democrats are asking House Speaker Nancy Pelosi to include what critics are calling amnesty for some illegal immigrants in the COVID relief package currently being hammered out in Congress, Breitbart reports.

The Congressional Hispanic Caucus is heading up the group of House Democrats who sent a letter to Pelosi over the weekend seeking amnesty for at least 5 million illegal immigrants deemed "essential workers" who are recipients of Temporary Protected Status (TPS) or the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) programs.

"As you continue to work on assembling a COVID-19 reconciliation package and begin work on an economic recovery and jobs package, we urge you to include a pathway to citizenship for essential immigrant workers, Dreamers, and TPS holders, as well as their families, in order to ensure a robust recovery that is inclusive and equitable for all Americans regardless of their immigration status," the letter reads.
There was a call to include it but it is not being done.
That's what I was going to ask about the faux candian (-: outrage. What's actually in the bill?

Fuax Canadian LOL!
 
Those we bring in to do things like process our food should be able to get a legal wage.
That would defeat the purpose of binging in illegal workers. If they wanted to pay a legal wage, there are plenty of people to fill those jobs, but a legal wage is way more expensive.
 
It would be easier to list the bills Dimwingers don’t try to give illegals amnesty.

Or we could cut off the supply of cheap labor and raise wages?

What the fuck?

We could but we won't. With that being the case we are left with this.............

Even if we could cut off every single person entering the country (which we can't) that does nothing about the millions already here doing jobs like processing our food.

Yea we wont' because we keep shipping in illegals lol

Higher wages or end to mass low skill migration

pick one

You can ship in millions of engineers not people with below a HS education.

Anyone who believes the illegals don't hurt domestic worker wages is an idiot.

Higher wages. I've argued that for years. It's not a tough choice. Business isn't interested in that though.

Of course illegals hurt domestic workers. Why don't we do anything about those who hire them?

Because we a capitalist society that never hurts capital? Any other dumb questions?

We can prevent them from coming and have political support for it.

You need to get your priorities straight

Americans come first.

"why don't we do this thing that has no political viability"

Sort of answered that yourself didn't you

I didn't say that so...........................

Preventing them from coming does nothing about the millions already here and as long as the jobs are here they will come.

Absolutely. I've noted for a long time what is going to happen.

After these millions are made legal over time the businesses will replace them with more illegal workers and those who lose their jobs will get welfare benefits.

All because we refuse to enforce our employment laws.

No stupid, that’s because we refuse to enforce our immigration laws.
 
I worked in construction for better part of thirty five years and the owners(even though they were white guys) said that white people ain't no good and they like their illegals because they actually showed up for work...

I think they were trying to tell you something, Moonglow.

It starts at the top.

The Chamber of Commerce and all the cronies want illegal labor to avoid taxes. They have no interest in legal wages.

They are the biggest "exploiters" of illegal labor.

How could we have possibly stopped this bullshit?

You understand that adding more continues the problem, right?

If we stop the flows eventually they will die and their children will be Americans. The problem will solve itself under our law if you actually convince people coming here illegally isn't a good idea.

Not that complex

IDK why you think we let 30 million in so we should just let a few hundred million more in? No difference? That's what you're saying here.

It's stupid

They are illegals. We didn’t bring them in, Stupid.

Yes we did.
Link?

How Many Employers Have Been Prosecuted for Employing Illegals? | HRExecutive.com
You said we brought them here.

That is a lie.
I don't believe for a minute that those illegal workers were not requested and delivered.

It's our own fucking government who is allowing this shit to happen.

Let me note........the Chamber of Commerce is "us".

We could easily stop it but as you note, business wants it and business gets it. Business is "us".

I was an owner operator and I never did hire illegals, they were trying to tell me something that they were low paying slave driving assholes..

You are arguing we can address this in 100 years. I'm not interested. We can address it now.
