Iowa Dem Senate Candidate Josh Turek Wants to Import Immigrants to Take Iowans’ Jobs

‘I think we also need an easier pathway to earn citizenship so that we can bring in more workers’

EXCERPT:

TUREK: “And this is an area that we really need to have a healthy and robust immigration program. You've got around 41 percent of the direct care workers that are immigrants. And so I think we also need an easier pathway to earn citizenship so that we can bring in more -- more workers, not only for that industry, but as well for the agriculture industry and the meatpacking plants. I mean, this is a state that's really, really struggling.”
