The Lawless Government Illegal Aliens Swarm to Obama Welfare System and Low Wage Jobs. “Today Majority Leader Reid and Senator Chuck Schumer
came down to the Senate floor to demand that the House of Representatives pass
their immigration bill. They labeled Republicans as ‘extremists’ for not giving
in to their demands. It's time to take your country back using your Constitutional Rights. It's way past time that you understand that Barack Obama and other Socialist Czars will take everything and if they must, take your life, liberty and property. Why would the Obama Administrative States release convicted Illegal Alien Killers and Sexual offenders? Why do major brand names want more and more illegal aliens to take low skilled low paying no future jobs? If your local, state and federal officials will not enforce the law of the land you must remove them by vote. Force officials to do their jobs, remove the special interests and take your country back. You are in danger.
Senator Schumer said that Republicans are ‘xenophobes’
because they don’t want to pass his plan.
Let’s talk about what is
extreme.
A
new report reveals that this Administration has released 36,000 criminal aliens
from ICE detention—including this report
found: 193 homicide convictions, 1,153 sexual offenders, 303 kidnapping
convictions and 1,075 aggravated assault convictions.
These dangerous offenders should be placed back into
custody.
You know what else is extreme? Extreme is trying to
pass an immigration bill that would double the flow of new guest workers into
our country—and triple the grants of permanent
admissions—when 50 million working-age
Americans are out of work.
It is not xenophobic but compassionate to say we
should focus our attention on helping struggling American workers. It is not
xenophobic but out patriotic duty to defend the integrity of our borders and the
rule of law. It is the oath we all took as Senators to defend the constitution
of the United States.
There was one group of people omitted from the remarks
of Leader Reid and Senator Schumer: American workers.
According to CBO, Senate Democrats immigration bill
would increase unemployment while reducing wages for the next 12 years and
reducing Americans’ per-person wealth for the next 17 years. If you bring in 30
million people in the next ten years, as this bill would do, tripling the number
that would normally be given legal status in America, it would bring down the
per-person wealth and it would bring down wages. Surely the Chamber of Commerce
understands the free market. Do they not? Surely Senator Reid understands that.
Does he not? On a conference call yesterday worrying about the American steel
industry, we talked about how a large amount of steel was being dumped into
America. Why? What is the impact of that? What is the concern? More steel equals
lower prices for steel. If you bring in more cotton, the lower the price is for
cotton. If you bring in more labor, you’ll have lower wages for American
workers. That’s what the CBO tells us. There is no disputing that, yet we have
Senators who repeatedly speak on the floor and say this is going to increase
wages. Give me a break. You can’t just say something and think that’s going to
make it a reality. It’s the opposite of reality.
Under current law, we admit more than six hundred
thousand guest workers each year and 1 million permanent
immigrants.
Under the Senate bill, we would admit more than 1.2
million guest workers each year and give permanent residency to 30 million
immigrants over the next ten years. A tripling of what the normal rate would
be.
Research from Harvard professor Dr. Borjas shows that
American workers lose more than $400 billion in wages each year due to
competition from lower-cost workers from abroad. Dr. Borjas’ research also shows
that from 1980-2000, he concluded wages declined 7.4% for lower-skilled American
workers due to high immigration levels.
So there is no doubt, colleagues, you have to
understand this: A vote for the Reid-Schumer immigration bill is a vote to lower
the wages of American workers. Not only that, it makes it harder for Americans
to get a job, period.
The people hurt worst by the Democrats’ immigration
policies are young Americans, low-income Americans, and minority
workers.
Minority workers, according to Dr. Borjas’ studies and
others, are particularly damaged by the large flow. This includes Hispanics who
come here lawfully or have been legalized in America and are trying to get
started on the way up and would like to have a pay raise, but their wages are
being pulled down by an extraordinary, unjustified flow of labor that we can’t
absorb. We don’t have enough jobs. That’s the problem. We need to ask: Is this a
good idea for America? Can we absorb this number of people and maintain decent
wages or are we in a longer-term trend and we’re just going to allow middle and
lower-income workers see their wages erode? It’s a big issue and we need to be
honest about it.
Mr. Schumer says we should do the bidding of the
Chamber of Commerce. Well, talking about hijacking, it seems Mr. Schumer’s party
has been hijacked by special interests and they’ve lost sight of who they claim
to represent—working Americans. That’s my
charge. We have a generous immigration policy. We need to make sure it’s
enforced correctly and carried out lawfully. That’s what the American people
have asked of us. They’ve demanded for 40 years that we create a lawful system
that we can be proud of, that treats people fairly. You make your application to
come to America, you lay out your qualifications, and they’re evaluated and the
best people, the most deserving on an objective basis are the ones that are
admitted. What’s wrong with that? That’s what Canada does. That’s what the UK
does. It’s what Australia does. There is nothing wrong with that. That’s what we
should be doing. We should decide how many people the country can absorb and
what wage categories before we admit huge numbers and certainly before we double
the number we presently bring in.
Some lawmakers who support the Senate plan claim that
tech industries couldn’t find qualified Americans—even though we have twice as many American STEM
graduates each year as jobs to fill.
A
recent paper by Professor Hal Salzman at Rutgers University carefully analyzed
data from the Department of Education and the Department of Labor. This is what
he concluded: ‘The first data to consider is the broad notion of a supply crisis
in which the United States does not produce enough STEM graduates to meet
industry demand. In fact, the nation graduates more than two times as many STEM
student each year as find jobs in STEM field. For the 180,000 or so annual
opening, U.S. Colleges and Universities supply 500,000 graduates.’ They supply
more than twice the number of graduates as we have jobs for now. I’m a little
dubious about some of these big business triples claiming they can’t get enough
people. We hear people in Silicon Valley promoting any kind of immigration as
long as they get more workers. Mr. Salzman says this, ‘The only clear impact of
the large IT guest worker inflows over this decade can be seen in salary levels
which have remained at their late 1990 levels and which dampens incentives for
domestic students to pursue STEM degrees.’ Then he goes on to say this, and I
agree with this line, ‘If there is a shortage, where are the market
indicators?’
So, Mr. Donohue and your friends at the Chamber of
Commerce, you believe in the free market. Why are wages down if we have a
shortage of workers? Why aren’t wages going up?
Here’s what one prominent CEO had to say: ‘There are
600,000 jobs in manufacturing that are going unfilled today. This immigration
bill can go a long way toward helping us fill those positions.’
From 2000-2013, the grim fact is that all net job
gains went to immigrant workers. Under the Democrat plan, if this bill were to
pass the house, this would accelerate.
From 2000 to 2013, the number of working-age Americans
increased by 16 million. Yet the number of people—American workers—actually fell 1.3 million. That’s why the
unemployment rate and the dropout rate is so high. During the same period,
2000-2013, the number of working-age immigrants increased by 8.8 million while
5.3 million immigrants gained employment. So, really, all the jobs created
during this period of time have been in effect, mathematically speaking, taken
by foreign workers. Is this healthy? Isn’t this one of the reasons we’re having
a hard time today?
There are 50 million working-age Americans who aren’t
working. Wages today are lower than they were in 1999. Median household incomes
have dropped nearly $2,300 dollars since 2009.
The percentage of Americans in workforce is the lowest
in 36 years. So Mr. Reid and Mr. Schumer, I’m glad to talk about this issue. I’m
glad to talk about immigration. But we’re going to talk about what’s in the
interest of the American people. We’re not going to talk about your politics and
your ideology and your special interest. We’re going to talk about what’s good
for America. And what’s good for America is to get more of our unemployed
working, to get wages going up rather than down. I’m not surprised you didn’t
talk about workers and wages in your remarks this morning when you demeaned
people who disagree with you and oppose your great bill that you’ve drafted that
will not work.
We are not going to be scared or intimidated into
handing over control of our immigration laws to a small group of special
interests who meet in your office.
We need to have a lawful system of immigration that we
can be proud of. That is what the American people have asked of us and Congress
refuses to give.”
The truth is that the policy
formula favored by President Obama—more regulation, hostility to American
energy, anti-growth taxation, surging debt, bigger government, more federal
interference, government-run healthcare, and mindless immigration policies—are
the cause, not the cure, for growing middle class distress.”
