but they are mostly unchanged. I don't think "import more foreign labor" is a winning message in America right now ... EVEN IF most of us don't like the tactics employed by ICE. (for me particularly, I am in favor of humanitarian immigration -that is allowing in refugees. I just think the H-1B and similar programs are bullshit and harmful to American workers, while not being justified on humanitarian grounds, or any other grounds except helping corporations exploit foreign labor while screwing Americans.)

Back to Lamb.

* Ballotpedia has a statement from his past campaign website. He comes out as very pro-fracking and doesn't mention taking care of the environment ANYWHERE. https://ballotpedia.org/Conor_Lamb

* Wikipedia mentions that he voted AGAINST rescheduling of marijuana, AND FOR weakening bank regulation. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conor_Lamb


Combined with his tone-deafness on technology jobs, he would not be my first pick. If he were to become the Dem nominee, I would support him in a heartbeat, and keep my gripes to myself.
