Does immigration bill give cars to unemployed yoots?

Well, no and yes.

Breitbart says the Washington Examiner says a new amendment to the immigration bill gives $1.5 billion in job money for yoots 16-24 who don’t have jobs, and the amendment also says states receiving the money may use funding “to provide supportive services, such as transportation or child care, that is necessary to enable the participation of such youth in the opportunities.”

An aide to a Republican senator said language “could easily be interpreted to mean the money could be spent buying or leasing or renting vehicles for the beneficiaries.”

“’This appears to give states authority to buy, lease or rent motorcycles, cars and scooters or anything kids want to buy to get to and from a job,’ the aide said.”

(The amendment definitely allows payment for child care, so maybe the unemployed single mother and single father yoots could be paid for baby sitting each other’s kids.)

Payoff in foreign bodies

An amendment to the proposed immigration bill requires establishment of “a new federal entity called the Bureau of Immigration and Labor Market Research, which is described as ‘an independent statistical agency within U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services.’ The head of the Bureau will be appointed by the president, with Senate confirmation. One of the things the Bureau will do is research and designate the occupations for which labor shortages exist, and therefore for which more low-wage guest workers will be allowed to enter the country.”

“If a particular occupation in a particular area is designated a ‘shortage occupation,’ then firms employing those workers will be allowed to bring in more low-wage guest workers from overseas.”

In a strange set of specifics, the amendment orders that BILMR “’methodology must designate Alaskan seafood processing in zones 1, 2, and 3 as shortage occupations.’ The next paragraph reiterates: ‘Alaskan seafood processing in zones 1, 2, and 3 must be designated as shortage occupations.’”

Does that read like political payoff?
