Two Policies That Will Kill Our Livelihoods!

A man packs a small bag of survival gear before heading off on a grueling journey. He survives extreme heat… dodges insurgents from the Mexican cartel… and evades border patrol agents.
When he illegally crosses over the U.S. border in Brooks County, Texas, he tramples across a ranch owner’s flowerbed to snag clean clothes hanging on the line.
He’s made it.
And he’s just one out of an estimated one million successful breaches that happen every year in the United States.
Yet senators just made life a hell of lot easier for this man, along with 30 million more just like him.
Because of a hidden provision in their recently passed immigration bill, Congress is now one voting session away from completely eviscerating the job market for countless U.S. citizens…

A Tariff on Your Head
One of the biggest issues our nation still faces is high unemployment. Over the last 12 years, Obama and Bush added a net total of only 2.7 million jobs.
Compare that to the 22.8 million jobs added in Clinton’s eight-year tenure and you’ll understand how abysmal things really are.
And unemployment is about to get worse. Much worse. Consider yourself warned.
You see, Congress is one voting session away from passing a hidden provision that would put a tariff on the head of every American employee.
When coupled with certain Obamacare mandates, the Reform Bill will create a loophole so toxic that it’ll literally legislate millions of Americans out of work.
Companies all across the nation, especially small businesses, will have no choice but to employ illegal immigrants over U.S. citizens.
It’s Economics 101…
Under the newly drafted legislature, illegal immigrants residing in the United States are granted amnesty. More specifically, they’ll be classified as “registered provisional immigrants.”
And paired with Obamacare, that designation becomes extremely significant.
You see, come open enrollment season, employers with over 50 American employees will be strong-armed into providing qualified health coverage on the company tab. Otherwise the company will have to pony up $3,000 per employee as a penalty.
But here’s the thing…
According to the Senate proposed legislation, “registered provisional immigrants” won’t be eligible for subsidies on the Obamacare exchanges until they become full U.S. citizens. And the senate timeframe for that is set for 2026, at a minimum.
So employers are left with two choices: Hire a U.S. citizen and be forced to sponsor their health coverage (or pay an egregious fine). Or hire a “registered provisional immigrant” and avoid the Obamacare mess entirely for a minimum of 13 years.
Put simply, immigration reform paired with Obamacare punishes employers for hiring American citizens. And with businesses across the country struggling to stay afloat, the choice is unfortunately a no-brainer.
Congressional Kickbacks
The Reform Bill was just delivered to the front door of Congress last week. The GOP affirmed that they want immigration reform, too, but they’ll need some time to pick through the 1,200 pages of overhaul. As Floyd pointed out last week, this bill is already riddled with pork.
If the bill should pass, the future will be bleak for the 23% of Americans who lost their jobs over the last five years and the millions of others who’ve struggled to stay employed.
Of course, the opposite would be true for the 30 million illegal immigrants that reside in America today.
So why is this bill even being considered in the halls of Congress right now? Well, look no further than big money tech firms. They’re the ones leading the charge on the reform movement.
They shelled out hundreds of millions of dollars to protect their ability to employ low-wage and low-cost employees. It’s why you’ve been seeing a lot more of Mark Zuckerberg whenever you turn on your television. He, along with several other major tech executives, is throwing his entire weight behind the reform effort.
They have several coalition groups quietly lining the pockets of key senators and congressmen to ensure that their agenda goes through. And it’s all at the expense of you – the American citizen. As Always The Plain Truth!
