Because this bill is full of pork. Pieces of other failed bills all made in into this one.
It was one big happy bribe package. This came from Sen. Barabara Mikulski (D-Md.) who is the biggest promoter of the H2 visa program.
So instead of 66K coming here we will have 264K coming here to work min wage jobs in retail, construction, hotels..you know, all those jobs that employers just can find Americans to fill.
And once their 3 years are up they can come back on an H2-R visa. And that program has no limit.
And here's the kicker...DOL has to approve these requests from employers and they do so it's not like these companies are flying under the radar.
Perfect example of Repubs and Dems joining together for a good pork fest at the expense of the typical American worker.
BUT DON'T WORRY. The dems around here say that having millions of illegal workers doesn't really hurt jobs or wages for American workers because they were told to say it....and that means it's right. Besides, they don't have the independent thinking or education to verify the claim.
And the reps are no better.
People can't figure out where Trump is getting so much support?
If you think this is bad go read some articles that are slowly picking apart this near 3000 page spending bill.
Cyber security changes are in it too...allowing more of our data to be picked up by government agencies.
This is another thing they raved about last year demanding we pull the plug on surveillance. One year later they are sneaking in bills to add more such measures than ever before.

They cut the military too (heavy handedly), but if you listen to certain media outlets, discussion forums, and political candidates, all you hear is how "Obama decimated the military". This has got to be the most brain washed country on the planet.
If you step back and really listen, it's BOTH sides that do this. The problem is that for the furthest left and right....their side is good, the other side is evil and neither can tell when they are getting played.

The only "demands" they ever make is to the press as part of the dog and pony show to stay in office.
What they say is not what they do.
And usually it's hard to find out who sponsored controversial amendments in porkalous bills but now they aren't even bothering to hide themselves anymore.
Americans are so apathetic that all many seem to care about is that the D's and R's compromised.
As the MSM goes through the bills more and more is coming out.
Congress waived where they have to cut/tax for new spending so this turned into a free for all.
The FBI is getting near $1 billion for a new building in MD.
All Fed employees are getting a COL raise..I think the number was 1.50%.
Only workers though. Other programs, like SS remained at 0% COL raise.

Sure. However, in this case I was referring to the military cuts which were initiated by GOP, who then turned around and claimed Obama decimated the military.

That's my point. And when they do something their voters do not approve, they pretend they had nothing to do with it, or try to blame it on someone else.

The majority have no clue who did what and who bribed who and how that pork came into becoming a law.
DC is corrupt to the bone. Both side.
I've been saying for years that the D's and R's are but 2 sides of the same dirty coin.
