Despite these problemsa slow economy. jobkilling automation. and low wagesthe President is carrying out his unlawful plan rejected by Congress that we give 5 million persons unlawfully here legal statusa Social Security number. a photo ID. and the right to take any job that may be available in America. The Presidents policies are in perfect accord with those of his nominee for Attorney General. Loretta Lynch. When I asked her this simple question last week. I got a surprising answer. Question: Who has more right to a job in this country? A lawful immigrant whos here. or citizen or a person who entered the country unlawfully? Answer: I believe that the right and the obligation to work is one thats shared by everyone in this country regardless of how they came here. And certainly. if someone is here. regardless of status.
