Tucker: Americans Should Not Be Undercut by Foreign Nationals as They Look for Jobs

EXCERPT:

CARLSON: "The sad news is, and you know this already, is that more than 22 million people have filed for unemployment benefits recently since our government instituted mass quarantines and began shutting down the economy in state after state. According to Pew as of right now, 43% of all Americans have seen their hours cut, their pay cut, or lost their Jobs entirely. That means a huge chunk of the country is now wondering how to pay the bills. Some have run out of money entirely and they are hungry. Lines at food banks are the longest in nearly a hundred years, since the Depression. So whatever you think of our uniquely generous immigration policy, maybe you support it, it’s pretty clear that right now is literally the last moment that unemployed Americans should have to be undercut by foreign nationals as they look for desperately needed jobs. It’s obvious, and the President knows it well. Last night, without warning, he tweeted this.: 'In light of the attack from the invisible enemy, as well as the need to protect the jobs of our great American citizens, I will be signing an Executive Order to temporarily suspend immigration into the United States.' Well, that ricocheted around Twitter immediately. The announcement seemed to come out of nowhere, but in fact it didn't. Americans have been consistently demanding this, and it’s measurable. A new Ipsos poll found that a remarkable 79% of all American adults support a temporary suspension of all immigration into the country for the duration of this pandemic. A Harvard-Harris poll found that 83% of adults want a moratorium on immigration from Mexico.”
