Here comes another job killer for Americans – The Eagle Act. It will benefit Chinese Nationals and East Indians. It has bipartisan support. Now that the elections are over, it rears it’s ugly head.
The Eagle Act of 2022, the Equal Access to Green Cards for Legal Employment, HR 3648, passed the House of Representatives, 365-65. Rep. Zoe Lofgren, an open-borders policy advocate, first introduced it. It then sat until the elections were decided.
It will kill thousands of jobs for US Tech workers and give them to foreigners. This is going on while our borders are wide open. It defies all logic to loosen up immigration laws while millions of unvetted people worldwide flood our borders. It’s especially concerning that Chinese Nationals (CCP) will overwhelmingly benefit.
Lofgren and Rep. Tom Emmer (R-Minn.) agree on this bill. Emmer is a RINO elected as House Majority Whip for the 118th Congress. Tom Emmer is an ESG promoter. It’s business as usual.
The Eagle Act is coming back, and a vote is scheduled for after Thanksgiving. We better hope Herschel Walker wins on December 6th to give normal Republicans more power.
MORE FOREIGNERS TO TAKE US TECH JOBS
The EAGLE Act dramatically revises portions of the Immigration Act of 1990. Almost any alien who has been on the visa waiting list for at least two years with an approved petition for an employment-based green card could apply for adjustment of his status, which then wouldn’t count against existing numerical caps.
In other words, employers can sponsor a temporary foreign-born worker for an H-1B nonimmigrant visa and convert that worker to a permanent resident merely by sponsoring him for a green card. Aliens go from temporarily present to permanent residents.
Congress will make it more difficult for US tech workers to get a job. Congress is killing more jobs with this bill.
IT ELIMINATES PER-COUNTRY CAPS, CHINA AND INDIA GET THE JOBS
The bill also eliminates the per-country caps for employment-based visas. That means that within about a decade, Indian and Chinese nationals will receive virtually all such visas, especially the H-1B. Other countries’ nationals would have an uphill climb to obtain a visa.
Again, we sell America to China. Chinese nationals are all expected to spy upon notice from the CCP.
Under current law, no country’s nationals can comprise more than 7 percent of any visa category. This provision ensures that skilled workers from around the globe have an opportunity to come to America. The EAGLE Act, however, entirely removes all caps from employment-based visas. It more than doubles the existing family-preference visa from 7 percent to 15 percent, a hike that would, because of family reunification, ensure significant population surges. The proposed visa cap elimination is ironic because Lofgren and the EAGLE Act’s cosponsors claim to embrace diversity, but the bill heavily favors Chinese and Indian citizens to the exclusion of most others.
Furthermore, dependent children of the aliens under the new status would be allowed to retain their legal standing, a form of amnesty, as dependents of their parents for the duration of the green card application process.
It’s too bad our elections are so corrupt. We end up with the worst representatives and good candidates get defeated by mail-in voting, ballot harvesting, and Murkowski gimmicks like ranked-choice voting. The USA is transformed into a nation without integrity.

If sanity ever returns to our government (it never will) and if passed, this and probably hundreds of enacted laws that benefit foreign entities over Americans and America itself need to be repealed.
I see this as a double edged sword. This will directly impact a lot of those WOKE High Tech Workers at places like Twitter. I don’t know anything that changes people\s political views than Government policies that take away YOUR job!
This is slightly off topic, but went to Home Depot to purchase a ROOM thermometer. I wasn’t successful in my search, so I asked one of the store associates. She happened to be from India, very pleasant and proceeded to escort me to the BROOM section. I repeated my request, but she didn’t comprehend. Her English was acceptable, but I believe, my request was lost in translation. I thanked her and went on my way. Never did find what I was looking for in H.D.
US tech corporations began the massive importation of foreigners about 1990. The annual number is legally around 65,000 for H1Bs, but it is always exceeded due to exceptions and executive orders. The actual number is around 200,000 annually. I saw it very close up. People trying to disagree with me get an earful. Indians are flooding in at a tremendous rate. Trains into Chicago are loaded with them each morning. I was a minority in the past few years in my tech firm. The contract firms are now run by Indians. They underbid and take over US contracts.
The thousands of US technical people has to be in the millions by now. The upper middle class suburbs in my area, where lots of tech industries flourished, are loaded with Chinese and Indians. They are not very literate. At cash machines, they revert to Chinese or Indian languages to operate the machines.
The USA has been taken over and it was done by the USA. Emmer is another clear signal that the GOP was also taken over. We can and should all have some hope, but realistically recovery in very unlikely. I see RINO dialogs that we all need to be part of the team, that is not my team and it will not be my team.
I work with them every day and for the most part they are not worth the trouble
