| Two 'Beltway Party' Legislators Propose American Replacement Bill, Plus Amnesty |
| 2017-05-05 |
| [Breitbart] Two GOP legislators are introducing legislation to let states annually import 500,000 foreign blue-collar workers and white-collar professionals to replace Americans who have fallen out of the workforce and into drug addiction. The American replacement bill is needed because companies can’t hire the employees they want amid the massive decline in the number of Americans who are seeking work, Wisconsin Sen. Ron Johnson told an event hosted Wednesday by the CATO Institute. "Why can’t Wisconsin manufacturers, why can’t small businesses, find enough people to work?" Johnson asked during a speech in a Senate hearing room with supporters of the replacement bill. He continued: Americans don't need to be 'replaced.' Trained possibly, but not replaced. The traitorous legislators are the one's who need to be replaced. |

| #6 Wisconsin already has a load of foreign blue collar workers. |

| #5 If you really wanna do something about the drug problem (which I don't believe) then I believe there are enough laws already on the books. You just need to enforce them. Build the dang wall and secure the border for one. Monitor Big Pharma and all the quack doctors to make sure Oxycontin doesn't get into the wrong hands for another. Otherwise you're gonna end up with half a billion drug addicts. Then what? |

| #4 Let's see 50 states x 500,000 = 25,000,000 x 10 years = 250,000,000 which will almost double the current US population. Brings the US population to, roughly, 550,000,000 or more than half a billion. They wanna make the United States look like India or China. IMHO that's insane. |

| #3 Amnesty should not even be on the table. Why do these boneheads always spout amnesty? Massive decline in available American workers due to drug addiction? These are two separate problems that need to be solved separately. Otherwise, Americans don't need to be 'replaced.' Trained possibly, but not replaced. The traitorous legislators are the one's who need to be replaced. |

| #2 I agree with Glenmore on this, unless the person is a practicing addict. Job consistency is not in their view of the world. For others, it's way too easy for many to not work, plus we give them money to sit on their butts. Also, it's not all the employers' fault that they don't hire folks with a record. The insurance companies have made it very difficult (for liability reasons, they argue) to hire folks with less than stellar backgrounds for many well-paid positions. A lot of the folks with a past are well trained in one field or another and are really willing to work, they just are 'un-hirable' in today's market. After a while, they give up. |

| #1 Americans would work, if the safety nets were made more uncomfortable. (It might also help if employers weren't so restrictive about drug use or criminal records - which are reasonable, to a point, but...) |
