Leahy & Sanders vote against jobs for Vets

Vermont Senators vote against Americans jobs

Notably Sens. Leahy and Sanders voted against returning war veterans getting jobs. Instead, they voted to let illegals have the jobs while Americans suffer a punishing 9.6% unemployment rate.
Actually, people past collecting unemployment comp, working PT jobs or giving up looking for work, pushes the rate is closer to 16%.

What do you have to say about these numbers, Senators?

After several defeated efforts, Sen. Sessions (R-Ala.) finally won over a majority of his colleagues this morning. They agreed with him that illegal aliens should not get jobs created with federal tax dollars.
In March, the Sessions E-Verify amendment was killed by tabling in a 50-47 vote.
But this morning, the tabling motion failed 44-53. (The amendment then passed on voice vote.)
12 Democrats and 1 Independent defied Party leadership and voted with all 40 Republicans to:
permanently authorize E-Verify, so the pro-amnesty forces can’t constantly threaten to kill it if they don’t get their way
require all federal contractors to use E-Verify so returning veterans and other unemployed Americans will get jobs created with federal tax money. [snip]

Here’s the rest of the story and the vote tallies plus the vote on the fence.

Vermont’s Congressional Delegation has consistently VOTED against American workers and returning Veterans and for illegal immigrants.

Don’t say you didn’t vote that way; I have your voting records! Bernie voted for corporate slavery in the chicken plants, keeping the wages down. Leahy doing the same by making sure no one can check eligibility of the illegal workers on federal and state job sites.

Next time you meet them ask them why they voted for illegals and not the returning vets. Why are they voting for Jose and Miguel instead of Joe and Mike who are paying taxes to the schools here and across the country. What about the Guard deploying to Afghanistan this year.

Are they coming back to no jobs because Leahy, Sanders or Welch voted for illegals getting jobs and amnesty?
Call them up and ask them!
