Tom Price: “Illegal immigration is as important an issue as any other major policy concern to my constituents, and I know to all…”

“Illegal immigration is as important an issue as any other major policy concern to my constituents, and I know to all Americans. Across the country, there is overwhelming support for immigration reform, and this is due to the general sense that Federal policies have not succeeded and illegal immigration has become a crisis. With an estimated 12 to 20 million illegal aliens living here, Americans realize that the presence of so many is undermining the rule of law and undercutting the economic security of hardworking Americans. No one wants to be denied economic opportunity for freedom, especially if it is being determined by those who are not lawfully in the United States. This motion to recommit is an opportunity to address the concerns of legal American workers which have not been raised from across the aisle. This recommittal would simply require a union to demonstrate that any authorization card presented for recognition be signed by a United States citizen or a legal alien. Under current law, any worker, whether in the United States legally or not, can sign an authorization card.”
