The DREAMers
will be competing with their jobs and, yes, bidding down the wages of
our own young people and our other people who are trying to struggle
right now to get by. No, what the President has done is watch out for
the right young people: Americans. Yes, we have had millions of people--in fact, for the last few years,
over a million people--legally immigrate into our country. We have
nothing to be ashamed of, nothing to apologize for. We are the most
generous when it comes to legal immigration into our society of any
country in the world. In fact, at times recently, the amount of legal
immigration we have been allowing into our country represents more than
all the other countries of the world in what they have permitted to
legally immigrate into their society. We all feel for young people throughout the world who deserve a
better life. But if we permit people to come here as young people
illegally, and then legalize their status, every parent in the world
will see that decision.
