Sen. John Curtis (R-UT) is facing backlash on social media for proposing a new program that would prioritize hiring migrant workers over Americans. Many are calling him a Republican In Name Only (RINO) for his stance. The bill, co-introduced by Sen. Mark Kelly (D-AZ), would allow states to sponsor visas for temporary migrant workers, potentially taking jobs away from American workers. This move comes as Utah is experiencing a severe worker shortage, with 96 workers available for every 100 jobs.
Critics argue that this program would further strain services, spike crime rates, and negatively impact housing. During former President Joe Biden’s administration, the country saw record levels of net immigration, leading to a surge in illegal aliens. This issue became a key factor in the 2024 presidential election, ultimately helping President Donald Trump secure victory.
Senator Curtis defends his bill as a solution to the labor shortage, emphasizing the need to meet growing market demands. However, critics like conservative author Larry Correia are not convinced, accusing Curtis of prioritizing cheap foreign labor over American workers. The call to action is clear: Americans must speak out against policies that put their jobs at risk and demand accountability from their elected officials. Let’s stand up for American workers and reject this harmful legislation.
