Stephen Miller: Since Trump Launched the Task Force, Our Worst Nightmares on the Fraud That Had Been Taking Place Were Exceeded

RUSH EXCERPT:
MILLER: "Since President Trump launched the fraud task force and put the Vice President in charge our worst nightmares about the fraud that had been taking place in this country were exceeded Fraud that has been going on for years decades, in some cases, generations Vice President Vance and his team have exposed historic volumes of food stamp fraud daycare fraud, Medicaid fraud, healthcare fraud, Social Security fraud every kind of fraud you can imagine that steals from and betrays American families and workers Today is no different What the task force and its partners in law enforcement have uncovered is systemic immigration fraud that violates the laws and statutes of the United States to undercut American workers and labor The H-1B program And the perm program that’s attached to it have explicit statutory commands that must be followed It requires individuals, for example, to have a unique highly specialized occupation, as one example And yet, in case after case after case we see individuals that are being brought into the country for skills that are not specialized that are not unique and that are not skilled and that are doing work that is currently being done by American workers but at vastly lower pay If you go back a few decades in this country this was an issue that was covered commonly by our media. In fact there’s a famous special that was done by Mike Wallace at CBS probably almost 30 years ago now when this program was first starting documenting and detailing these abuses If you remember in 2015 when President Trump first campaigned for president he had at his rallies American workers in good-paying middle-class jobs with pensions who were laid off and forced to train their foreign replacements as the condition of their severance a phenomenon that is widespread and well-documented And again, because of this task force this kind of unlawful conduct has been exposed detailed, documented and resulted in real concrete federal action I think one of the important things that I would like everyone to take home today is that America is blessed with some of the most exceptional talent that has ever existed in the history of the world homegrown American talent This has been true since the day our country was founded Go back to the Wright brothers and the journey into the skies the industrial base, the power to do World War II the genius of American spaceflight and aviation homegrown American talent Has been at the center of one revolution after another As the vice president said we always welcome and bring to this country individuals who have exceptional gifts to share with our country But what we don’t do and can’t do is crush and kill the dreams of millions of young children in middle school and high school who want that first step on the ladder but are unable to get it or mid-career workers who’ve dedicated their lives to a company and are given two weeks notice just because someone else somewhere in the world is willing to do the job 20 30, forty, fifty percent cheaper than they are And a lot of the reason why they can do it so much cheaper is they are able to then go back to their home countries in the future and if they’re living in a country where the average salary is two dollars a day or three dollars a day taking half of an American worker’s salary is still the raise in their home country"
