Sixteen GOP lawmakers warned President Obama in a letter
delivered Thursday that they “reject” his call for the House to pass an
immigration reform bill, which they say will displace tens of millions of
American workers who are already struggling to keep a part time job, reduce
wages and affect tens of millions more who are unemployed.
Alabama Republican Rep. Mo Brooks spearheaded the letter,
along with 15 other members, saying the Senate’s immigration overhaul will give
permanent residency to over 30 million immigrants in the next decade, adding in
the letter that the “so-called comprehensive immigration reform may be a
good deal for big businesses who want to reduce labor costs, and it may be a
good deal for progressive labor unions seeking new workers from abroad, but
it’s an awful deal for U.S. workers – including African-American and Hispanic
communities enduring chronically high unemployment.”
