Hillary Clinton: Illegal Immigrants Taking Jobs Away from Some Americans

Hillary Clinton: Illegal Immigrants Taking Jobs Away From Some Americans (The Washington Free Beacon)

Hillary Clinton said in an interview with Vox published Monday that illegal immigration is a problem for the United States because some undocumented workers are taking jobs from Americans, causing serious anxiety in the country.

Clinton at first appeared to downplay the idea that Americans lose jobs to illegal immigrants before saying that for many people it’s a real problem.

“Why do you think it is that it is so intuitive to people, or so intuitive to many people, that there is azero-sum competition with immigrants for jobs?” Vox’s Ezra Klein asked. “As you said, that’s not what the economic evidence shows, but it’s powering a lot of politics in this country.”
