Rep. Dan Crenshaw (R-TX) is echoing talking points from the big business lobby after voting for a green card giveaway plan to 300,000 Indian workers who were imported by Big Tech’s outsourcing business model.

The giveaway plan will allow Indian nationals to effectively monopolize the U.S. green card system for at least the next ten years, providing a constant, quicker stream of mostly Indian male nationals that American professionals will be forced to compete against for white-collar U.S. jobs in the labor market.

This week, 140 House Republicans, 224 House Democrats, and Rep. Justin Amash (R-MI) — led by Rep. Ken Buck (R-CO) and Rep. Zoe Lofgren (D-CA) and including House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) and House Majority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) voted for the plan.

Crenshaw posted on Instagram a defense of his support for the legislation, known as HR. 1044, writing that he was simply posting “just the facts.” His defense won praise from the architect behind 2013’s “Gang of Eight” mass amnesty plan, Leon Fresco.

“Legal immigration is good and this is actually a good bill,” Crenshaw said, with no reference to the impact of the nation’s record high levels of legal immigration on American communities and U.S. workers.
