Arizona Sen. Jeff Flake called for the United States to let in immigrants who work hard, but don’t have any particular skills, in an effort to hit President Donald Trump on his immigration agenda, according to his New York Times’ op-ed Friday.
Flake told the story of Manuel Chaidez, an illegal immigrant with no discernible skills his parents hired, to drive his point home that America should bring people willing to work hard.
“In terms of material possessions, Manuel was an invisible man. His capacity for hard, backbreaking work was his sole credential in life. By no Washington bureaucrat’s estimation would he have been judged a ‘high value immigrant,’” Flake wrote. “He didn’t speak much English. He didn’t come from money. He hadn’t finished high school.”
Manuel was willing to work hard and with his hands Flake argued, which is a crucial skill to America and its ability to thrive.

He’s saying Americans are too good to do hard work. These liberals are at heart like the Sovereigns in Guardians of the Galaxy 2.
Did he ever mention what particular hand job he did?
The libhole demonicrats should denounce flake for exploiting illegal-immigrant labor for filthy capitalistic purposes. They should denounce all who hire illegals because they exploit those illegals.
But notice how the libholes never make such arguments.
I read Flakes’ story about Manuel. He didn’t mention how much his family paid the fellow. Wonder how much? Rumor has it that McCain pays his illegals a ridiculously low amount under the table.
Is this just the latest of many hires for this flake.
Did Flake’s parents pay employer Social Security fees for the hard worker?
Oh Flake gave an interview to the NYT that would indicate that he does exist:
Regardless, to me it is very disturbing that Flake felt this work situation for any illegal alien was beneficial to the immigrant...OF course it was beneficial to the Flake family—they got”backbreaking” work for a pittance—Flake admitted that.
However, I suspect that the reason Manuel was such a hard worker is that he was under threat of deportation and his family back in Mexico needed the money.
Just disgusting that he is using his family’s use of illegals as a rationale for bringing in immigrant with no skills...that is one of the main points of the NYT article.
Is there any way the Republican party can change its rules to have a closed primary?
It’s state law that would have to be changed.
Something is not right about a state law that tells a party how to select its nominees. Republicans should go to a convention system.
Yes, he is a real fruit cake.
I wonder if we could find one in either house who is a real conservative and a businessman with at least a BS in business and preferably an MBA. I would prefer that he/she understood both micro and macro econ theory, money and banking, and have taken a course similar to administrative policy formulation. The reason for that course is it enables one to write a complete business plan and how to accomplish said. In my opinion we need at least a few in both houses who understand this so the damn legislation that is written makes sense and actually has goals, objectives, and how they to accomplish said. Yes, we need a few lawyers, but; the diversity of Congress should be in the major sectors of our economy and yes our military. We need to quit electing lawyers.
