GOP Sen. Mike Crapo Endorses Amnesty, Foreign Workforce BillNeil Munro 20 Mar 2021
GOP Sen. Mike Crapo has opened the Senate’s door to a huge agricultural amnesty that would replace many American farmworkers with an international pipeline that delivers cheap, compliant foreign workers to agriculture companies plus many new voters to Democrats.
The announcement from Crapo came one day after Democrats and lobbyists won just 30 GOP votes for the House version of the amnesty — down from 34 GOP votes in 2019.
“House passage of the Farm Workforce Modernization Act is an important step toward bringing certainty to our country’s agriculture industry and the hard-working producers and farmworkers,†a statement read from Crapo and Sen. Michael Bennet (D-CO), who was an original sponsor of the 2013 “Gang of Eight†amnesty that cost the Democrats five Senate seats in 2014. Three of the four GOP co-sponsors are no longer in the Senate.
The statement continued: “We will work together to introduce companion legislation in the U.S. Senate that appropriately addresses the needs of both the industry and the farmworkers that uphold it.â€
The announcement indicates pro-amnesty groups are working hard behind the scenes to secretly sign up GOP senators for various amnesty, migration, and visa-worker bills. When ready, the bills — and their Senate supporters — may be combined to give the Democrats at least 10 GOP votes for a huge amnesty bill that would lock in the coastal Democrats’ political dominance — and allow them to ignore pleas from small red states — for many years.
Crapo’s office did not respond to questions from Breitbart News.
