So all we have to do is fund the Department of Homeland Security but not approve the Presidents desire to transmit funds in Homeland Security to an illegal. unlawful policy of amnesty that Congress opposes and the American people oppose. Who do we represent? Since 2009. we learned today. the Obama administration issued 5.5 million extra work permitsdouble the normal expected flow by over almost a million a year. We understood it to be 700.000. Now we understand there are so many more that have not been calculated in the numbers. His Executive amnesty will issue 5 million more. Since 2009 family incomes are down $4.000. There is no doubt about it. colleagues. that this incredibly large flow of immigrants into America exceeds the ability of the American economy to absorb them. It is pulling down wages. It is moving people out of the workplace. It is making it very difficult for lawful immigrants to get jobs in America because there will always be a new group coming in willing to work for less. It is eroding the middle class and middleclass values. So we are going to talk about this as we go forward. I believe this country will continue to be a nation that allows immigration. We dont dislike or hate or demean people that want to come to America and work here. But we need to send a clear message: If you are not coming lawfully. dont come.
