“Study after study, even from those kinds of institutions that are pro immigration, study after study shows that the people hurt most by illegal immigration into the country are people at the bottom rung of the ladder, people who are working for minimum wage. The millions of people coming in without skills end up competing for those jobs. Today I heard the report of the unemployment rate, and it is going up. High tech got hit first. Now we are seeing a major increase in the unemployment rate for people with low job skills, people who are often brought to our attention by the other side of the aisle, the homeless rate is going up, the number of people seeking welfare and food stamps is going up. All of that discussion about all those people, but never once have I heard those Members stand up and say we have at least 11 million people in this country illegally who are competing for those jobs. Nobody cares about that because that is part of their voter base.”
