The summary of the proposed budget, which was overseen by Senate Budget Committee chairman Bernie Sanders (I., Vt.), says the budget will provide "green cards to millions of immigrant workers and families."

While Americans remain mostly in opposition to amnesty for illegal aliens — the latest Rasmussen Reports survey shows 52 percent of likely voters oppose amnesty — the plan is a fulfillment of longtime corporate interest and donor class goals to flood the United States labor market with millions of newly legalized foreign workers against whom working and middle class Americans would be forced to compete for jobs.

The amnesty has major backing from Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg’s FWD.us, former President George W. Bush, and the Koch brothers.

Likewise, the U.S. Chamber of Commerce most recently held a conference dedicated to promoting the amnesty plan, claiming that legalizing millions of foreign competitors against American workers is “vital” to the U.S. economic recovery following the Chinese coronavirus crisis.

Nationally, nearly 16 million Americans remain jobless, but all want full-time employment. Another 4.6 million Americans are underemployed but want a full-time job.

Dem Budget Includes Green Card Giveaway, Mass Amnesty

The new budget proposal from Senate Democrats will dramatically increase the number of available green cards and include amnesty for illegal immigrants, according to an official fact sheet on the $3.5 trillion budget circulated by leadership.

The summary of the proposed budget, which was overseen by Senate Budget Committee chairman Bernie Sanders (I., Vt.), says the budget will provide "green cards to millions of immigrant workers and families." Current law caps the total number of green cards, known officially as permanent resident cards, at just under 1.1 million annually. The budget will additionally offer illegal immigrants in the United States a "pathway to citizenship," Sanders wrote on Monday morning. There are an estimated 10 to 12 million undocumented aliens in the country.

It is unclear how many green cards Democrats aim to make newly available through the legislation, which was released Monday morning. The immigration provisions in the Democratic budget appear to be inspired in part by Biden's campaign promise to make green cards available to family members of other green card recipients, regardless of annual caps. Biden's campaign website promised to "[support] legislation that treats the spouse and children of green card holders as the immediate relatives they are, exempting them from caps."

Democrats face bipartisan scrutiny over the border crisis, with the number of migrants attempting to enter the country through Mexico at a 21-year high. The $3.5 trillion budget has not yet earned support from moderate Democratic senators like Kyrsten Sinema (Ariz.), although she has said she'll vote "yes" on procedural motions. Democratic leaders say they hope to pass the bill through budget reconciliation, which would allow them to avoid a filibuster from Republicans. Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R., Ky.) referred to the budget as "reckless," and it is not expected to receive any Republican support.

Sanders said the budget proposal is "the most consequential piece of legislation for working people, the elderly, the children, the sick and the poor since FDR and the New Deal of the 1930s."

The Biden administration has repeatedly told migrants not to attempt to enter the country at this time, citing the pandemic and strained resources. Critics say Biden's decision to eliminate Trump-era policies like "Remain in Mexico" is in large part the source of the migration surge.

The budget also "funds smart technology for safe and efficient borders for trade, travel, and migration," although specifics have yet to be released. Various NGOs and consulting firms, such as Deloitte, have recommended "smart" refugee resettlement technology that includes using data analysis to quickly process and place asylum seekers in various U.S. cities.

Sanders tweeted Monday morning that his party's budget "will bring undocumented people out of the shadows and provide them with a pathway to citizenship, including those who courageously kept our economy running in the middle of the deadly pandemic," but offered no specifics.

The budget proposal will include many liberal policy proposals that were left out of the bipartisan infrastructure proposal, which is expected to pass through the Senate this week. Aside from dramatically expanding legal immigration, the budget includes a number of left-wing initiatives such as tuition-free community college, hiking the corporate and personal tax rate, and expanding ObamaCare.

Senate Republicans granted President Joe Biden a significant victory on Tuesday in helping the bipartisan so-called infrastructure bill pass through the Senate.

The Senate passed H.R. 3684, the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act, 69-30, which featured overwhelming Democrat support and strong Republican support.

Nineteen Senate Republicans voted for the infrastructure bill. The Senate Republicans that voted with Democrats for the legislation reportedly include:

1. Dan Sullivan (R-AK)
2. Shelley Moore Capito (R-WV)
3. Mike Crapo (R-ID)
4. Roy Blunt (R-MO)
5. Richard Burr (R-NC)
6. Deb Fischer (R-NE)
7. Lindsey Graham (R-SC)
8. Rob Portman (R-OH)
9. Thom Tillis (R-NC)
10. Lisa Murkowski (R-AK)
11. Jim Risch (R-ID)
12. Chuck Grassley (R-IA)
13. Bill Cassidy (R-LA)
14. Kevin Cramer (R-ND)
15. Roger Wicker (R-MS)
16. Mitch McConnell (R-KY)
17. John Hoeven (R-ND)
18. Susan Collins (R-ME)
19. Mitt Romney (R-UT)

Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) said on the Senate floor this bill, passed under Biden, is the first major infrastructure bill in over a decade.

Schumer said the bipartisan bill serves as the “first track” of the “two-track” strategy on infrastructure.

Vice President Kamala Harris presided over the Senate as the chamber passed the bill.

Sen. Rob Portman (R-OH), who is retiring soon, said the Senate made history by passing the bill through the Senate:

Sen. Mike Braun (R-IN) said before the vote that Republicans are “complicit” by supporting the bipartisan bill, as it would lead to the passage of the Democrats’ $3.5 trillion package.

Sen. Josh Hawley (R-MO), who voted against the bill, said, “I just voted NO on the first installment of Joe Biden’s massive left wing agenda – no to gender identity mandates, no to the Green New Deal, no to CRT “racial equity” mandates, no to decimating the energy sector – YES to America”:

Sen. Tommy Tuberville (R-AL), who voted against the bill, said in a statement after the vote:

The final legislation is loaded with giveaways to big cities and pet projects that have little to do with real infrastructure. Worse, we’re using fuzzy math and IOU’s to hide the real cost of this massive legislation. I can’t vote for a bill that fails to give Alabama a fair slice of the pie while also saddling Alabama taxpayers with even more debt.

The $1.2 trillion, 2,702-page bipartisan infrastructure bill serves as the first part of a two-part approach for the Biden administration. The Biden administration hopes the bill would help facilitate funding of physical infrastructure, while the Democrat $3.5 trillion infrastructure bill would fund social spending programs, which includes the expansion of the Affordable Care Act (ACA) to address the “Medicaid gap,” amnesty for illegal aliens, and a civilian climate corps.

While Sens. Portman and Bill Cassidy (R-LA), two GOP lead negotiators of the bipartisan bill, have insisted there is no link between the two infrastructure bills, the passage of the bipartisan bill appears to put the reconciliation bill on a glide path towards passing through Congress.

The passage of the bipartisan infrastructure bill also serves as a significant victory for the Senate Republicans that also voted to impeach former President Donald Trump this year. This includes Sens. Richard Burr (R-NC), Bill Cassidy (R-LA), Lisa Murkowski (R-AK), Mitt Romney (R-UT), and Susan Collins (R-ME).

The Senate budget resolution, which serves as the legislative vehicle for the $3.5 trillion reconciliation infrastructure bill, contains instructions for House Budget Committee’s John Yarmuth (D-KY) to make changes to the bipartisan bill as he sees fit, Breitbart News reported.

The Congressional Budget Office (CBO) found that the bill would add $256 billion to the deficit, and the Penn-Wharton Budget Model said the bill would add no “significant” level of economic growth.

As Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) and Senate Republicans appeared ready to rush the bill through the Senate to start the budget approval process and move onto their August recess, Sen. Bill Hagerty (R-TN) stood against the Senate’s rushed process. Hagerty said the Senate should have time to consider the drastic implications of the several thousand-page bill and open the legislation up for amendments, as the bill was drafted in secret by the bipartisan group of lawmakers, and outside of the normal committee drafting process.

Hagerty refused to consent to the Senate’s advancement of the bill, explaining that the Senate should debate the bill as the “World’s Greatest Deliberative Body.” He said in a statement Monday night:

The American public deserves to have the Senate—the World’s Greatest Deliberative Body—actually deliberate. Because of my refusal to expedite passage of this bill, we did that and allowed taxpayers to see that this infrastructure package is the first step in the Democrats’ quadruple bank-shot attempt to usher in a radical vision for America, burdening our children and grandchildren with more debt and making American citizens dependent on the government for virtually everything. While I recognize that I delayed the August recess, the stakes are too high here, and we have successfully begun to expose the true and dangerous intentions of my Democrat colleagues.

Because of Hagerty’s efforts, the Senate had slowed down the bill’s passage by five days, giving Americans a greater understanding of the $1.2 trillion bill their lawmakers voted for.

The Senate fight over a $30 billion cryptocurrency regulation serves is emblematic of why Hagerty wanted to slow down Schumer and Senate Republicans’ rushing of the infrastructure bill.

Sen. Rob Portman (R-OH) and the Biden White House proposed the $30 billion cryptocurrency regulation as a “pay for” the mammoth legislation. The regulation would impose onerous IRS reporting requirements on the cryptocurrency, including many parts of the industry — such as node operators, validators, and software developers — that either should not or cannot comply with the regulation, lawmakers and industry officials say.

The uproar from the cryptocurrency industry and pro-crypto lawmakers led Sens. Cynthia Lummis (R-WY) and Pat Toomey (R-PA) to propose an amendment that would address the concerns with Portman’s proposal. Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) even proposed an amendment that would remove Portman’s regulation.

Lummis and Toomey struck a compromise with Sen. Kyrsten Sinema (D-AZ) and Portman over the regulation; however, Sen. Richard Shelby (R-AL), who will retire next year, refused to allow the amendment to be considered unless they also allowed for increased defense spending in the bill. Shelby’s tactics shuttered the amendment and allowed the original, “disastrous” provision to remain in the bipartisan infrastructure bill.

Cruz, during the fight to allow the Lummis-Toomey amendment in the bill Monday, lambasted the Senate’s ignorance of cryptocurrencies and that the Senate did not go through the traditional legislative process to consider how the proposal could cripple the industry and send American jobs overseas:

Lummis, after Shelby blocked the inclusion of the cryptocurrency amendment, pledged to keep fighting to fix the language in the bill. She said, “We will continue to look for ways to fix the digital asset language in this bill. It might not be today, but we won’t give up.”

The House could still insert a Lummis-style amendment when the chamber considers the bill.

The so-called bipartisan infrastructure bill moves to the House, where Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) has pledged to hold the consideration of that bill until the Senate also advances the $3.5 trillion infrastructure bill. The Senate will move forward this week on the budget resolution and the multi-trillion-dollar infrastructure bill soon after.

WE COULD END THE INVASION WITH E-VERIFY AND BY PUTTING EMPLOYERS OF ILLEGALS IN PRISONS BUILT ALONG THE NARCOMEX BORDER!

On Monday, Senate Democrats unveiled their budget framework that includes spending $107 billion in American taxpayer money to give amnesty to millions of illegal aliens.

53 Senators Voted to Ensure  Infrastructure Jobs Go to American Workers 45 voted against E-Verify, thus  helping illegal aliens get taxpayer- funded jobs

Washington, D.C. (August 9, 2021) – In an article by the Center for Immigration Studies, Andrew Arthur reports on an amendment to the infrastructure bill that would have guaranteed that the jobs from that bill would go to American workers. The amendment would have prohibited federal funding for any entity that failed to enroll in E-Verify, an internet database that allows employers to confirm the eligibility of their employees to work in the United States. While 53 senators voted in favor of that amendment, it failed because 45 others (all Democrats) opposed it. Andrew Arthur, the Center’s resident fellow in law and policy, said, “I can understand why every Republican and five Democrats present voted for Sen. Lankford’s E-Verify proposal. But I cannot fathom why 45 other Democrats voted to enable illegal aliens to be the recipients of good-paying, government-funded infrastructure jobs.” Sen. Jim Lankford (R-Okla.) offered the amendment, which would have limited the provision of federal assistance, grants, and contracts authorized by that bill to entities that have enrolled in, and are complying with, E-Verify. If E-Verify were mandatory, illegal immigration would not end overnight, but the biggest benefits of illegal entry and overstay (living and working in the United States) would be much, much harder for illegal aliens to obtain. Lankford’s amendment was consistent with the slated purposes of the infrastructure bill: To improve physical infrastructure in the United States, and to employ American workers (both citizens and lawfully admitted immigrants). UNFORTUNATELY, THE GOP IS JUST AS KEEN TO FLOOD AMERICA WITH 'CHEAP' LABOR AS THE LA RAZA SUPREMACY DEMOCRAT PARTY WITH THEIR DREAMS OF 49 MORE MEXIFORNIAS. Tom Cotton: Every Conservative Must Get Engaged to Stop Democrat Amnesty 1 TOM WILLIAMS/POOL/AFP via Getty Images JOHN BINDER 9 Aug 202158 3:50 Senate Republicans are sounding the alarm over an amnesty provision slipped into Senate Democrats’ $3.5 trillion budget resolution framework that they are seeking to shove through Congress via the filibuster-proof reconciliation process. On Monday, Senate Democrats unveiled their budget framework that includes spending $107 billion in American taxpayer money to give amnesty to millions of illegal aliens. The language of the framework is vague, asking the Judiciary Committee members to give “lawful permanent status to qualified immigrants.” Those who would qualify remains unclear, though Democrats have said in the past they want upwards of eight to 10 million illegal aliens given amnesty. Sen. Tom Cotton (R-AR) wrote in a statement that “every conservative needs to get engaged to stop” the Democrats’ amnesty plan via reconciliation. “During a historic border crisis, Democrats are trying to ram through mass amnesty for illegal immigrants … call Congress and tell them no amnesty,” Cotton wrote. Likewise, Sen. Josh Hawley (R-MO) panned the amnesty as “the most left wing plan in American history” while Sen. Marsha Blackburn (R-TN) described it as “Bernie’s radial priorities” in reference to Senate Budget Committee Chairman Bernie Sanders (I-VT). Rep. Jim Banks (R-IN) said the amnesty needed to be stopped by first stopping a so-called bipartisan infrastructure plan that Senate Democrats are supporting and 18 Senate Republicans, thus far, have backed. That plan, as Breitbart News reported, would use federal funds to reward blue states and counties for driving up overall immigration levels to the U.S. Former Sen. Jim DeMint (R-SC), founder of the Senate Conservatives Fund, railed against the amnesty, writing that President Joe Biden and Senate Democrats have made “it official” in their efforts to “use reconciliation to ram through amnesty for millions of illegals.” “We now have open borders with more than the population of most U.S. towns coming over [the] border illegally every day,” DeMint wrote. “This is madness.” Former Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) official Jon Feere said the amnesty “would cost Americans billions immediately,” adding that Democrats “have no interest in committee hearings to determine how many more billions it would cost in the first few years.” While Americans remain mostly in opposition to amnesty for illegal aliens — the latest Rasmussen Reports survey shows 52 percent of likely voters oppose amnesty — the plan is a fulfillment of longtime corporate interest and donor class goals to flood the United States labor market with millions of newly legalized foreign workers against whom working and middle class Americans would be forced to compete for jobs. The amnesty has major backing from Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg’s FWD.us, former President George W. Bush, and the Koch brothers. Likewise, the U.S. Chamber of Commerce most recently held a conference dedicated to promoting the amnesty plan, claiming that legalizing millions of foreign competitors against American workers is “vital” to the U.S. economic recovery following the Chinese coronavirus crisis. Nationally, nearly 16 million Americans remain jobless, but all want full-time employment. Another 4.6 million Americans are underemployed but want a full-time job. The Congressional Budget Office (CBO) has repeatedly found that amnesty for illegal aliens would be a net fiscal drain for American taxpayers while driving down U.S. wages.
