“The very illegal aliens [Jeanne Shaheen] wants to help Obama grant amnesty to—and steal your job—are in many cases also violent criminals, driver’s without licenses, members of gangs, or are in some way endangering the welfare of New Hampshire families,” … Maria Espinoza, the national director of The Remembrance Project, told Matt Boyle of Breitbart News.
Conservative HQ explains how the Democrat party, and how the administrative state, wins if the average American gets poorer.
… illegal immigration is not a victimless crime as countless American
families have learned, most recently through the murder of two
California law enforcement officers at the hands of an illegal alien.
But as important as keeping criminal aliens out of America is, what
may be even more important is keeping American jobs for Americans.
As Senator Jeff Sessions of Alabama has observed on numerous
occasions an executive order on immigration would increase by millions
of people the nation's workforce pool — and further hurt the
opportunities of American citizens to get jobs.
"We have the lowest percentage of people in America today who have
been working in 40 years. This is a stunning statistic. Almost every
person who's gotten a job in the last 10 years is going to an illegal
immigrant," he recently told NewsMax.
As Senator Session wrote in an op-ed for FOX, “A nation’s first loyalty must be to its own citizens.”
But the immigration policies of President Obama and Congressional
Democrats help only billionaire special interests, amnesty activists,
and the citizens of other countries – while reducing jobs and pay for
our own.
Every single Senate Democrat voted for the Obama-backed plan to
provide immediate work permits to 12 million illegal immigrants –
allowing them to compete for any job in America. This legislation would
also double the rate at which low-wage guest workers are brought into
the U.S. to fill jobs throughout the economy.
Further, the legislation would triple the rate of permanent
immigration, giving lifetime work permits and citizenship to over 30
million immigrants over the next ten years.
America already has the world’s most generous immigration policy. The
foreign-born population is at record levels, quadrupling since 1970.
Since 2000, the U.S. has issued nearly 30 million lawful visas to
foreign guest workers and permanent immigrants. During that time, all
net employment gains among the working-age went to immigrant workers.
This large surplus of labor has also pulled down wages – family incomes are down more than $3,000 since 2009 alone.
Imagine then what will happen if we double the supply of foreign
labor. For many Americans, who will be pushed out of the workforce
altogether, their wages will be reduced to zero.
What Obama and his Democratic allies are attempting to do through
both legal and illegal means is to completely remake America into a
government-dependent society, and importing millions of low-skilled
low-educated aliens is central to that goal.
