We can’t possibly
expect our Senators to read a 1200 page bill before voting on it. Can
we? Well Thank God Ted Cruz read it. Not only did Cruz read it but he
schooled anyone who would listen from the Senate floor on Tuesday. Cruz
found a loophole that actually penalizes an employer $5000 for hiring a
citizen over a legalized alien. Seriously. You can’t make this stuff up.
Senator Cruz was quoted as saying:
“I filed an amendment that would have corrected one of the most egregious aspects of the gang of eight bill as it intersects with Obamacare legislation, namely a penalty imposed on U.S. employers for hiring U.S. citizens and U.S. permanent residents. This bill says if an employer hires a citizen or a legal immigrant, the IRS can impose a $5,000 penalty on that employer. But if the employer instead hires someone with RPI status, that penalty will go away. That is utterly and completely indefensible.”
