White House, Media Hide ‘Largest Update to Our Immigration System in 30 Years’
Democrats and business allies are hiding two huge changes to legal immigration law under their media-magnified demands for the amnesty of illegal migrants.
But the rising GOP opposition is forcing the advocates to defend their power-grab as the Democrats’ “Build Back Better” spending bill faces a vote on Friday, November 5: “These provisions would be largest update to our immigration system in 30 years,”
tweeted the Niskanen Center, which supports the expansion of legal immigration.
The bill offers
fast-track green cards for just $5,000 to at least one million foreign temporary contract workers already in the United States. Those green cards would let them permanently work in the United States and also become U.S. voters in five years.
The green card giveaway would drain wealth and political power from the 800,000 Americans who graduate each year with technology-intensive degrees in healthcare, business, math, science, and engineering.
Those green cards also would not count against the nation’s roughly one million annual cap on legal immigrants.

Once the existing workers get their green cards, they will
be quickly augmented by the next wave of low-wage,
mid-skill foreign graduates who are recruited by the Fortune 500’s dangled promises of more fast-track green cards.
The green-cards-for-cash law will establish structural discrimination against millions of American graduates, said Rob Law at the Center for Immigration Studies. It will be “inherently impossible [for U.S. graduates] to compete [for jobs because] the foreign workers will always accept less pay because they also get the incredibly lucrative benefit of permanency in the United States,” he said.
