Wrong again. Every increase in the minimum wage has been accompanied by an expanding economy. especially during the Clinton Administration. House Republicans opposing comprehensive immigration reform claim that it will lead to lower incomes and lost jobs. Wrong again. Studies conducted by groups as far apart as the Chamber of Commerce and the AFLCIO consistently show that comprehensive immigration reform will grow the Gross Domestic Product by $1.5 trillion over 10 years. Given this sorry track record of economic forecasting. I strongly oppose the Republican budget because it favors the wealthy over middle class families and those struggling to enter or remain in the middle class.
