Look at this creature

Without knowing anything else, look at this creature.

Does this creature look like a realized being?

Does this creature look like they have mastered success at the basic physical and spiritual planes of existence?

Does this creature have a shining, healthy, glowing aura that exudes attainment, wisdom, and love?

Or does this creature look like a failed piece of shit?

Knowing this, what kind of effect do you think this creature is having on the world? Do you think that it is having a wholesome, positive, good effect?

Or do you think, looking at this creature, that its having a deleterious, unwholesome, negative effect, that it’s fucking up the world?

If you guess the latter you guessed correctly, and your spiritual intuition guided you to the truth.

What kind of world is it where a creature like this even is able to occupy a position of authority where it is able to make decisions which adversely impact millions of people?

It’s not a healthy world.

And the negative impacts are severe:

Lofgren, Legislating on Behalf of Foreign Nationals, Ignores Growing Homelessness in San Jose

To be clear at the outset, this creature isn’t just fucking things up for homeless people in San Jose, but for people in the entire United States.

Last week, the U.S. House of Representatives rammed through HR 1044, a job-busting bill that would, if it becomes law, eliminate the 7 percent employment-based visa country cap and would raise the family-based visa cap from 7 percent to 15 percent.

Despite much controversy surrounding HR 1044, debate was limited to 20 minutes, regular rules were suspended, and the final tally was 365–65, with Democrats voting 225 yea, eight nay; Republicans, 140 yea, 57 nay, with three abstaining, and positioned as a bipartisan success. Defenders of American jobs, pro-labor progressives and organizations that promote fair immigration, including U.S. Tech Workers, however, universally denounced the bill.

The misleadingly named Fairness for High-Skilled Immigrants Act, which has been unsuccessfully kicking around Congress since 2011, has multiple negative ramifications. Worst among the bad is that HR 1044 rewards large corporations that employ foreign national H-1B workers to displace U.S. tech workers.

If per-country caps were eliminated, as HR 1044 proposes, Green Cards would go to foreign nationals from two main countries, India and China, at the expense of people from other countries, and would primarily benefit big tech, which lobbied for this. More tech immigration enriches the already wealthy Silicon Valley elites.

In her 25-year congressional career, Zoe Lofgren (D-Calif.), who introduced HR 1044, has amassed the most solidly anti-American worker voting record as any of her peers. Lofgren has, 100 percent of the time, voted in favor of more employment-based visas for foreign nationals, and amnesty for illegal aliens that included lifetime work authorization.

Lofgren has voted against tightening border security, closing asylum loopholes, ending chain migration and eliminating amnesty entitlements. No one in Congress has more completely failed at protecting American workers or the best interests of U.S. citizens than Lofgren. Not just tech workers would be affected by Lofgren’s legislation, but a wide swath of white-collar employees would also become vulnerable.

Expanding the H-1B visa is Lofgren’s pet project. But, a mountain of evidence continues to grow that more H-1Bs are unnecessary and that there has been routine abuse in the program. The latest exposé by Ron Hira and Bharath Gopalaswamy published by the Atlantic Council concluded that the H-1B program has never been fixed to meet the original promises Congress made to protect U.S. jobs. Instead, the program has been expanded to allow even larger numbers of H-1B workers, admitting them for longer periods of time, while its flawed governing rules have remained as they originally were loosely written in the Immigration Act of 1990.

Lofgren’s fascination with foreign imports begs for a closer look at what’s happening in the district she is supposed to represent. While Lofgren is working tirelessly on behalf of Indian and Chinese nationals as well as multinational tech giants, a growing percentage of her San Jose constituents are living on the streets.

Truly sick.
