Giveaway to Big Tech in Build Back Better 

will hurt American workers

Yet, buried in the “Build Back Better” legislation that Sanders has written are several jaw-dropping immigration provisions that would sell out American workers for the benefit of the largest and most influential corporate interests. 

Entirely separate from providing amnesty to illegal immigrants, this legislation includes several provisions that effectively terminate, for at least 10 years, all numerical limits on the annual allotment of green cards for foreign workers, for which Big Tech has consistently lobbied for years.

At a time when we are actively encouraging students in our home states to work hard, seek STEM skills and aspire to the high-tech jobs of tomorrow, this legislation would create an unending, permanent pipeline of foreign labor for Silicon Valley giants to use in place of aspiring American youth. And American workers currently employed by these companies will be far less likely to see wage gains because they can be replaced at less cost with workers imported from overseas.
