🌾 CONGRESS IS SLIPPING AMNESTY INTO A FARM LABOR BILL

Don't take my word for it. Read the official summary from the Congressional Research Service.

H.R. 9535, the "Securing Agriculture's Workforce Act." Sponsored by House Agriculture Chairman Glenn Thompson. 61 cosponsors, 52 of them Republicans.

One line tells you everything. The bill "establishes an H-2A visa pathway for current unauthorized agricultural workers who otherwise meet requirements."

Current unauthorized workers. People who are here illegally right now.

The sponsor's pitch: "With the border now secure, it is time to address these shortcomings."

The border is more secure because we finally started enforcing the law. You don't reward that by handing a visa to the people who broke it.

And the timing couldn't be worse. Monday night the President said, "We haven't put the same pressure on waitresses and on farmworkers, etc. Not even close." That's exactly the opening this bill's supporters have been waiting for.

We've seen this movie before. In 1986 Congress created the Special Agricultural Worker program, and it was riddled with fraud, with applicants claiming farm work they never did. My career taught me that every carve-out turns into a business model. Make farm work the safe lane and the fake employment letters will show up by the truckload.

Farmers have a real labor problem and I'm not dismissing it. Fix H-2A. Speed it up. Cut the red tape. Let it run year-round. That's legal labor and I'll support it.

But a visa for people who are here illegally isn't a workforce plan. It's amnesty in overalls.

Call your representative and ask one question: are you one of the 61?

AMNESTY ALERT 🚨

@ScottMechkowski is sounding the alarm on amnesty disguised as farm labor reform.

H.R. 9535 would give qualifying unauthorized farmworkers a pathway to H-2A visas—and 61 lawmakers have already signed on.

NO AMNESTY!

The level of cope over the midterms by neocons is truly astonishing

Patently false

“They're terribly wicked, and they're being smuggled in under this guise of nice-guy Christianity.”

@SteveDeaceShow and @dmichaelclary pinpoint the reasons that Christians embrace loser theology.

[Jeremy Carl @realJeremyCarl]

Lankford was the front man for the disastrous amnesty bill the GOP establishment tried to get us to swallow a few years ago.

Needs to be watched like a hawk.

I don’t mean this as snark. Who in the church body would care the most about where people sit and with whom?

Single women.

This is the infantilizing Longhouse of gospel-onlyism that destroys nature

"As Julie and I discussed it, we thought it was worth calling Christian couples to re-imagine what it’s like walking into church on your own, and then to think of church less like a date and more like a deployment."

@photo_voltaic_1 @BaptistLeaders Thank you!

[William Wolfe 🇺🇸 @WilliamWolfe]

It’s funny how much flak I take from Mid & Big Eva company men, who accuse me of doing nothing more than “tweeting”

While at the same time the organization I founded in SBC life, @BaptistLeaders, has stacked big wins for conservatives and is the ONLY outlet regularly addressing major institutional issues like declining Cooperative Program giving & offering real solutions (which they won’t touch)

And we just crossed 14,000 followers on here, which is more than multiple official SBC entities

And it’s on the same day that TGC, which they love and defend, published this nonsense below

We are building. We are winning. We are the anti-woke, future-minded coalition for a better SBC. Join us today!

[Center for Baptist Leadership @BaptistLeaders]

The Cooperative Program is the heart of the SBC—and it’s in worse shape than our leaders are letting on.

@DustinDeVito dug into the numbers. Far from “holding steady” it’s in historic decline over the last 5 years

The only solution left is transparency

Oh no

[Ximena @Ximena_Bustillo]

NEW — Sen. Rand Paul will give up the top GOP seat on the Senate Homeland Security committee opening up for Oklahoma’s James Lankford to lead. Lankford, is close with DHS Secy Markwayne Mullin, has a history of immigration talks and work with incoming chair Maggie Hassan.

[Joe Sneed @SlayingGiants7]

Because fewer pastors trust the SBC leadership. There is no financial transparency so they direct their dollars to specific causes they can trust more.

[Joshua Abbotoy 🇺🇸 @Byzness]

Sobering piece from my friend @DustinDeVito.

There’s really no question that the last 10 years have been cataclysmic for the SBC.

The only real question is why.

A serious organization would be studying the causes of the decline; surveying churches who have reduced or stop giving; admitting that the issue is very real.

Sadly, SBC leaders have instead opted to pretend that everything is great. But the gravy train is not going to last forever.

I do believe that @WillyRice has a good chance to right the ship, but there is a lot of institutional inertia at work here.

Hopefully the next generation of institutional leaders recognize that the SBC is going to have to make some hard decisions and be able to hear some bad news once in a while if it wants to have a future.

[William Wolfe 🇺🇸 @WilliamWolfe]

@SneedFeedus It’s been doing that to me for months now

[Jon Whitehead @jrwhitehead]

We may need to go back to this, to keep the @TGC husbands from wandering off.

[Caleb Newsom @CalebwNewsom]

It's so strange how TGC will publish pieces that take such dogmatic stances on things that aren't even "tertiary" but will just make up random things like spouses sitting together

[David Schrock🌲 @DavidSchrock]

TGC is replaying an more well-written, but equally nature-destroying @CTmagazine essay from Keller Center Fellow @RebeccMcLaugh . . .

Spoiler Alert: If your husband has the same skin color, you should consider sitting apart.

You know for the gospel! 🤡
