Biden's Amnesty for Illegal Aliens, Limitless Immigration for Corporations in Tailspin with Manchin Opposition [Breitbart] Corporate America’s plan to inflate the United States labor force via major changes to immigration law, slipped into President Joe Biden’s “Build Back Better Act,” is now seemingly in a tailspin as Sen. Joe Manchin (D-WV) says he opposes the plan. A vital component of the filibuster-proof reconciliation package, which needs 51 votes in the Senate, is a plan to provide amnesty for about 6.5 million illegal aliens. The provisions allow millions of illegal aliens to secure work permits, ensuring more foreign competition against working and middle class Americans for often minimum wage jobs. The amnesty would cost American taxpayers about $500 billion over two decades. “Manchin’s comments today on Fox News Sunday that he’s a no on Build Back Better are gutting to immigration advocates who’ve worked through months of negotiations, redrafting to meet Senate rules, reworking to satisfy House Dem factions, more redrafting/strategizing,” a Bloomberg reporter notes. In addition, and even more important to corporate America, are provisions to blow the lid off current legal immigration levels — where 1.2 million green cards and 1.5 million work visas are awarded annually to foreign nationals — for the benefit of multinational corporations. Specifically, the reconciliation package would allow companies to import a limitless number of legal immigrants on employment-based green cards for at least a decade. Eventually, green card-holders would be able to apply for naturalized American citizenship.
