Immigration restrictionists look like they scored a win this week when conservatives teamed up with the Congressional Black Caucus (CBC) to kill the EAGLE Act. The bill would have elimated country caps for employment-based visas. This would have ensured that larger, more popoulous countries like China and India would have taken the majority of visas. The CBC decided to oppose the bill after realizing it would crowd out applicants from Africa and the Caribbean. This is a massive win for immigration restrictionists after the bill looked like all but a done deal. The Big Tech lobby have been working for years to try and get this bill into law. With Republicans taking over the House, it doesn’t have a good chance of being brought up for a vote in the next two years. It is quite astounding however that the CBC gives priority to black people in other countries, not just this one.

I tweeted a scoop on Thursday that turned out to be true. The Border Patrol Union was about to endorse the Sinema/Tillis DREAMer amnesty bill because it provided border agents with a significant pay raise. Like all bills that provide amnesty, it would have made the crisis on the border far worse. The union has received immense pushback from conservative organizations and looks like they could be backing off the endorsement. While there’s a lot of buzz around the legislation, there’s very few days left in the legislative session. Between Sinema becoming a registered Independent and Republicans taking over the House, the bill is dead on arrival.

Rep. Chuck Fleischmann, a squish from Tennessee, has announced he’s stepping down from his position as Chairman of the Homeland Security subcommittee. The role oversees funding for homeland security and given how important border security will be to House Republicans, it’s a valued position. Politico reports that there’s no likely successor given that the next two most senior Republicans in the Homeland Security subcommittee lost their primaries.
