Obama includes 3 million new immigrant workers this year, record Syrians in the plan

Paul Ryan as it stands, will include in the Omnibus Spending bill:

“Not only will the president be allowed to bring in the 85,000 refugees he has announced on top of current record immigration levels, but this will include at least 10,000 refugees from Syria who will subsequently be able to bring in their foreign relatives,” Sessions said, noting that all of the refugees “are eligible for lifetime government assistance and can draw funds from Social Security and Medicare at Americans’ expense.”At least 3 million foreign nationals were granted work permits, work visas, and green cards in 2013, with most being granted to individuals from Mexico, China, and India, according to the most recent data issued by the Congressional Research Service.

And why was none of this covered in the debate last night? Wonder why we are sick of the GOP and their lies? Record number of work permits with nothing being done by Congress to slow this down. Here we go:

While the 2014 numbers have not been disclosed, recent statistics provided to Congress reveal that work permits continued to be issued at record numbers, according to congressional sources and statistics provided to the Washington Free Beacon.

At least 3 million foreign nationals were granted work permits, work visas, and green cards in 2013, with most being granted to individuals from Mexico, China, and India, according to the most recent data issued by the Congressional Research Service.

While the 2014 numbers have not been disclosed, recent statistics provided to Congress reveal that work permits continued to be issued at record numbers, according to congressional sources and statistics provided to the Washington Free Beacon.

The total number of foreign workers in the United States stands at 26 million as of 2014, according to numbers issued by the Bureau of Labor Statistics.

These numbers are likely to increase in the next year as Congress prepares to approve a sprawling funding bill that critics say will do little to alter Obama administration plans to boost work permits and visas, as well as permit some 10,000 Syrian refugees to relocate to America.

“The omnibus will fund 100 percent of the continued issuance of work permits, work visas, green cards and refugee admits, continuing to accelerate the U.S. beyond all known historical immigration precedent,” said a congressional source familiar with the yearly spending bill. “The U.S. presently has four times more migrant residents than any other country in the world, regardless of population.”

The U.S. immigrant population—both legal and illegal—hit a “record” 42.4 million in 2014, according to the Center for Immigration Studies.

Congressional critics, among them Sen. Jeff Sessions (R., Ala.), have criticized the funding bill for giving the Obama administration a “blank check” on the immigration front.

“As currently written, this year’s appropriations bills … amount to a blank check for the president to carry out his refugee resettlement plans,” Sessions said in a recent statement.

More than 90 percent of recent Middle Eastern refugees who have come to America are on welfare, according to Sessions.
