Miller: ‘We Should Have a Program in Which American Workers Are Given Jobs First’

RUSH EXCERPT: 
TODD: "Let me go to the issue of immigration as a whole. Do you believe there is too much immigration in the country?"
MILLER: "We should have a program in which American workers are given jobs first. The president campaigned on this and it’s an issue the labor unions agree with us and members of Congress agree with us. If you have an open job in this country, a U.S. Citizen or existing legal permanent resident ought to have the ability to have the first application for that job. The problem is and the way the media cover this issue, present company excluded and they don’t talk about the U.S. Citizens and legal permanent residents and many of whom are living in poverty and many of whom who haven’t had wage growth in 20, 30 years and it’s time to talk about them, their families and their concerns and yes, we’ll have a lawful immigration system that will enrich and benefit the country and the president agrees that should be a merit-based system where individuals come to the country and bring the benefits economically that will grow our economy and help lift up wages for everybody."
