🌾 CONGRESS IS SLIPPING AMNESTY INTO A FARM LABOR BILL Don't take my word for it. Read the official summary from the Congressional Research Service. H.R. 9535, the "Securing Agriculture's Workforce Act." Sponsored by House Agriculture Chairman Glenn Thompson. 61 cosponsors, 52 of them Republicans. One line tells you everything. The bill "establishes an H-2A visa pathway for current unauthorized agricultural workers who otherwise meet requirements." Current unauthorized workers. People who are here illegally right now. The sponsor's pitch: "With the border now secure, it is time to address these shortcomings." The border is more secure because we finally started enforcing the law. You don't reward that by handing a visa to the people who broke it. And the timing couldn't be worse. Monday night the President said, "We haven't put the same pressure on waitresses and on farmworkers, etc. Not even close." That's exactly the opening this bill's supporters have been waiting for. We've seen this movie before. In 1986 Congress created the Special Agricultural Worker program, and it was riddled with fraud, with applicants claiming farm work they never did. My career taught me that every carve-out turns into a business model. Make farm work the safe lane and the fake employment letters will show up by the truckload. Farmers have a real labor problem and I'm not dismissing it. Fix H-2A. Speed it up. Cut the red tape. Let it run year-round. That's legal labor and I'll support it. But a visa for people who are here illegally isn't a workforce plan. It's amnesty in overalls. Call your representative and ask one question: are you one of the 61? @POTUS @StephenM @RealTomHoman @SecMullinDHS @ICEgov @HouseAgGOP @CongressmanGT @Jim_Jordan @JudiciaryGOP @Phase2Deport @NICEnforcement @itsyourgov

After six hours on the cross and three hours of darkness, Jesus cried out with a loud voice: "My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?" It's the most unsettling sentence in the Gospels. It sounds like despair. Some people have even read it as the moment Jesus lost faith. But He wasn't inventing those words. He was quoting a song written a thousand years earlier. And the answer to why He said it starts in Psalm 22. 🧵

The Senate needs one more person to sign onto the letter to block Thune from being the minority leader. Who will be the patriot to do it?

Microsoft has filed a patent for an AI system that could rewrite what people say during livestreams in real time. It could change words depending on who's watching, taking into account their age, location, and language. The idea is to clean up broadcasts by removing filler words, censoring swearing, or even replacing certain words. The AI could also adjust the speaker's lip movements so viewers wouldn't notice anything had been changed.

DHS wants a $70K fee on a student's first OPT and $30K on each one after, including STEM OPT. Public comments close at end of day, Monday, November 9th. OPT lets employers hire foreign grads largely free of payroll taxes and with no prevailing wage requirements, undercutting U.S. grads. It would be very helpful if those recently graduated with STEM degrees and those getting ready to graduate told DHS what they think of the current labor market. (Link to comment page in replies.)

Republicans won on the immigration issue: Among 73 percent of voters who said immigration was "crucial" or "a major factor," Republicans won 51% to 47%.

Mandated Forced Vaccination: New U.S. Senator Abdul El-Sayed: “Your right ends… where my face starts. Your right to choose not to get vaccinated ends where the breath that you're breathing… goes into my nostrils” This should TERRIFY every citizen...

Natalie Harp should print this out and put it on Trump’s desk tomorrow.

In the end, it was Tucker Carlson who was right.

Interesting result in TX-26 where Rep. Brandon Gill (R-TX) was re-elected. Gill won Denton County, TX by +3.6. Talarico won Denton County by +8. Voters there said yes to Gill, but no to Paxton.

Hey @grok, how many individuals referred by Congressman Jim Jordan has the DOJ successfully prosecuted since he entered office in 2007?

Yes, “why haven’t we done immigration, shut off H-1B?” DeSantis is why Republicans have firm control in Florida and have successfully enacted an America First agenda that is not just rhetoric.

When we started Jobs Now we really thought the hidden jobs problem would be solved in one year. We thought it was so egregious - Microsoft running newspaper ads asking for paper mail applications for Blizzard developers, apply to Global Mobility (Immigration), while laying off thousands of those SAME workers- that public outrage would be immediate (it was!) And the fix was so simple - DOL writes a new regulation. PERM ads have to be posted on your website! No hiding in the back of the print newspaper! Easy! Done in 6 months! Again and again, our government has been presented with easy ways to stop American Immigration Replacement - with or without Congress. Ban hidden jobs. End OPT & stop paying companies to replace new grads with foreigners. End H4EAD. And they haven't done it. From the outside, it looks to us like there is a real disinterest in the core work of governing. Filling out the paperwork, changing the rules, making sure the department policies are putting AMERICANS FIRST, day in and day out as they ought to. That will never work. Sometimes people are frustrated with the specifics we ask for - we have deliberately taken an "eat your vegetables" approach to policy. Memes and crazy pronouncements are fun, but what will actually change your lives and ours is the slow, unglamorous work of changing the rules to make sure Americans are always at the front of the line. So we will say it again, for everyone to hear: Ban hidden jobs. End OPT/H4EAD/CPT - the visa alphabet soup! For gods sake REPEAL THE H1B. Or you will never get elected again.
