And the flood of illegal aliens continues. In fact, Paul Ryan’s Omnibus aka OmiBUST spending bill increased illegal alien visas by 120%! This is not “winning’ against illegal aliens and unskilled labor.

Sen. Tom Cotton (R-AK) took to the Senate floor on Thursday ahead of the vote on the spending bill to fund the federal government through September, citing as the main reason he voted against it the flood of unskilled workers that could be admitted to the United States under the legislation.
“I want to hone in on one particular provision that shows just how bad this process is,” Cotton said, noting the bill is almost 1,700 pages in length.“They don’t hide the good things in the bill, they only hide the bad things,” Cotton said. “So look to page 735, section 543-where you will find an increase in H-2B visas of almost 79,000.
“A 120 percent increase over the normal annual cap of a so-called seasonal visa program for temporary workers that can take up to nine or ten months,” Cotton said. “It’s not necessary. It has nothing to do with funding the government, nothing.”
Cotton criticized the process and noted it is unclear how the visa section got into a spending bill.
