If she had as much of a shred of compassion for the low-skilled low-wage American worker as she does the illegal aliens that Big Biz, Big Govt, and her palie-walies Maverick and Grahamnesty, she wouldn’t be in as much hot water. It would have been much better if Kelly Ayotte, she of the “common sense”, actually hung around with folks who exhibited…..wait for it…..common sense. Especially on the idea of granting amnesty and legal status that should not be here – that would be Pete Session (Senator, too!):
The President said he has not heard any good reason to oppose the Senate bill. Clearly, he has not listened to the ICE and USCIS officers warning that the bill would permanently undermine enforcement. Here are three more reasons: the Senate bill will lower wages, increase unemployment, and reduce per-capita GNP. All of these statements are confirmed by the Congressional Budget Office. Under current law, we will provide approximately 10 million grants of permanent residency (green cards) over the next decade. Under the Senate bill, that number will triple to more than 30 million. Further, the Senate bill would double the number of guest workers at a time when a record 90 million Americans are outside the work force. We need to get Americans off of unemployment, off of welfare, and back into the labor force — but the ‘reforms’ proposed by the Senate would put even more Americans out of work.
Many of the same CEOs demanding that Congress increase guest workers are laying off thousands of American workers. This is a defining moment for the House Republicans. They must decide who they represent: certain activist CEOs lobbying Congress, or the national interest and the millions of Americans struggling to get by in this low job, low wage economy.
Who wins with Amnesty? Big Business does – labor is a function of demand and supply, especially at the low end. Why hire a legal Citizen when there will be a Government artificially inflated supply of workers willing to work at lower cost OR providing much more competition at the same price? Or even more important, more Democrat Party members.
A defining moment – who were these folks elected to represent?
