John Curtis (R-UT) says a plan that gives amnesty to illegal aliens and expands pipelines for foreign visa workers will be a boost for business.<\/p>\n<p>Last week, as Breitbart News <a href=\"https:\/\/www.breitbart.com\/politics\/2022\/02\/08\/gop-rep-salazar-six-house-republicans-unveil-amnesty-plan-for-illegal-aliens\/\">reported<\/a>, Rep. Maria Salazar (R-FL) and six House Republicans introduced \u201cThe Dignity Act\u201d to provide green cards to the nation\u2019s 11 to 22 million while expanding visa programs to more readily outsource American jobs.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"D-ROS-B1\" class=\"a8d\"><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"M-ROS-B1\" class=\"a8d\"><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"gmxrevmore\" class=\"H\"><\/figure>\n<p>Curtis is co-sponsoring the bill alongside Reps. Dan Newhouse (R-WA), Pete Sessions (R-TX), Jenniffer Gonzalez-Colon (R-PR), Tom Reed (R-NY), and Peter Meijer (R-MI). The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.breitbart.com\/politics\/2022\/02\/09\/corporate-special-interests-throw-support-behind-salazar-amnesty-plan\/\">bill is backed<\/a> by the United States Chamber of Commerce and the&nbsp;Niskanen Center.<\/p>\n<p>\u201c\u2026 the Dignity Act balances the need for a secure and working border with compassionate policies that keep families together, ensures employers have access to reliable foreign workers, and welcomes people into our society and communities,\u201d Curtis <a href=\"https:\/\/curtis.house.gov\/press-releases\/curtis-salazar-and-colleagues-introduce-complete-immigration-reform-programs\/\">said<\/a> in a statement.<\/p>\n<p>Curtis\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.opensecrets.org\/members-of-congress\/john-curtis\/contributors?cid=N00041221&amp;cycle=2020&amp;recs=100&amp;type=I\">donors include<\/a> mega multinational corporations like Comcast, Alphabet Inc., Berkshire Hathaway, and AT&amp;T, among others, which have a vested financial interest in driving as many foreign nationals to the U.S. as possible.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"M-ROS-B2\" class=\"a8d\"><\/figure>\n<p>The plan\u2019s amnesty provisions allow hundreds of thousands of illegal aliens to immediately secure green cards while millions of others are put on a 10-year track to obtain green cards while holding work permits.<\/p>\n<p>Also included,&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/files.constantcontact.com\/1849eea4801\/5353d79d-bc02-42c3-9097-b5d5ee003247.pdf\">are expansions<\/a> of the H-2A and H-2B visa programs that deliver thousands of foreign workers to U.S. farms and seasonal employers every year. With the H-2B visa, the plan exempts returning foreign workers from the annual cap, while the H-2A visa provisions will make hiring foreign farmworkers easier.<\/p>\n<p>Both visa programs are crucial for employers to keep U.S. wages low and stagnant in farm jobs, as well as seasonal nonagricultural jobs.<\/p>\n<p>Last month, in an&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.breitbart.com\/politics\/2022\/01\/10\/exclusive-kevin-mccarthy-pledges-as-speaker-he-will-not-consider-amnesty-or-gun-control-legislation\/\">exclusive interview<\/a>&nbsp;with Breitbart News, House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) vowed not to consider any amnesty plans for illegal aliens should Republicans take back the House in this year\u2019s midterm elections.<\/p>\n<p>The amnesty violates that pledge \u2014 indicating that, assuming McCarthy is Speaker and sticks to his word, the proposal stands no chance in a GOP-run House led by McCarthy next Congress.<\/p>\n<p>The plan comes even as scandal has rocked the H-2A visa program in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.breitbart.com\/politics\/2021\/11\/26\/doj-modern-day-slavery-scheme-run-by-illegal-aliens-trafficked-foreign-visa-workers-to-georgia-farms\/\">recent months<\/a> in the form of a 54-count federal indictment. According to prosecutors, a transnational criminal organization had been using the H-2A visa program to traffic foreign workers from Mexico, Guatemala, and Honduras into farm jobs in Georgia.<\/p>\n<p>Prosecutors called the scheme \u201cmodern-day slavery.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, President Joe Biden\u2019s administration has <a href=\"https:\/\/www.breitbart.com\/politics\/2022\/01\/27\/joe-biden-to-import-20k-more-foreign-workers-for-blue-collar-american-jobs\/\">executively expanded<\/a> the H-2B visa program to allow 40,000 more foreign workers to take blue-collar American jobs \u2014 often in construction, landscaping, meatpacking, and fishing.<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>John Binder is a reporter for Breitbart News.
