Who Speaks AGAINST Immigration And FOR American Workers? Hardly Anyone

 Yeah, right.......

The CIS study I wrote about on Friday some good work in it, even if some of it is, er, derivative.

 Congressional Budget Office projections indicate that if the Schumer-Rubio bill (S.744) becomes law, the number of new legal immigrants allowed into the country will roughly double to 20 million over the next decade, adding to the 40 million immigrants (legal and illegal) already here.¹ This increase is in addition to the legalization of illegal immigrants already in the country. The primary argument for this dramatic increase is, as Republican congressman Paul Ryan (R-Wisc.) has argued, that without it the country faces “labor shortages”. The National Restaurant Association, National Association of Home Builders, National Association of Manufacturers, Business Roundtable, U.S. Chamber Commence, and numerous other companies and business associations have all argued that immigration should be increased because there are not enough workers in the country — both skilled and unskilled.² This report examines employment trends for immigrants and natives to see if potential workers are, in fact, in short supply.
