Sessions: Vote for the Reid-Schumer Immigration Bill if You Want Fewer Jobs for Americans

"So there was one group of people not referenced when Majority Leader Reid and Senator Schumer talked earlier this morning. You know who it was? Completely omitted was the American worker. That's who's not being discussed in this debate.
...
"Now you'll have -- you'll bring in 30 million people in the next ten years, as this bill would do, tripping the number that would be normally given legal status in America, and it will bring down the per-person wealth and it will bring down wages. Surely the chamber of commerce understands the free market, do they not? Surely Senator Reid understands that, does he not? We were on a conference call yesterday worrying about the American steel industry. A large amount of steel was being dumped into America. What is that, why? What is the impact of that? Bring in more steel, lower price for steel. More cotton, lower price for cotton. Bring in more labor, you're going to have lower wages for American workers. That's what CBO told us. There's no dispute about that. Yet we have senators go to this floor and repeatedly say that this is going to increase wages. Give me a break. You can't just say something and think that's going to make it reality. That's just the opposite of reality.
...
"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, making it harder for Americans to get a job, period.
...
"So 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 you're special interests, 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 more wages going up rather than down."
