"It's just obvious you can't have free immigration and a welfare state," - Milton Friedman
“Ninety two million Americans have left the workforce. Another 50 million live below the poverty line. One-in-five American households are on food stamps. Household income is down 4.4 percent since the so-called recovery began in 2009. Only 74,000 jobs were created last month, and America remains mired in the weakest economic recovery since the
Great Depression. The bipartisan “solution” for these problems steadily
gaining steam in Washington? Comprehensive immigration reform that will
heighten the competition for jobs between newly legalized immigrants
and Americans workers struggling to find employment.”
“Make no mistake: Americans are struggling to find employment.”
Indeed,
with so many American citizens currently out of work, and with the
expectation that in just 30 years up to 70 per cent of all jobs will be
automated (performed by robots and/or computers of one sort or another),
it begs the question of why the country is importing millions of
low-skilled foreign born workers? Workers who are likely to become
permanent welfare clients with a generation and add to the already out
of control public debt.
“The
choice is clear,” writes Sessions. “Either the GOP can help the White
House deliver a crushing hammer blow to the middle class–or it can stand
alone as the one party defending the legitimate interests of American
workers.”
