Amnesty for illegal immigrants is bad for American workers, according to a tweet from GOP Senate Leader Mitch McConnell.
“A proposal to gut immigration enforcement and give blanket amnesty? Rough ‘day one’ for American workers,” said the tweet.
The failed Paris deal will hurt American families while China and Russia grow emissions.
The Keystone cancellation will kill union jobs and hurt U.S. energy security.
And a proposal to gut immigration enforcement and give blanket amnesty?
Rough "day one" for American workers.
— Leader McConnell (@LeaderMcConnell) January 21, 2021
The tweet is McConnell’s first mention of immigration on his Twitter account.
The tweet came as GOP politicians are moving to embrace the populist policies they will need to get reelected in 2022 and 2024, and also to regain a majority in the Senate.
“Before we deal with immigration, we need to … make sure everyone has the chance to find a good job,” Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL) said January 19. He added:
America should always welcome immigrants who want to become Americans. But we need laws that decide who and how many people can come here, and those laws must be followed and enforced. There are many issues I think we can work cooperatively with President-elect Biden, but a blanket amnesty for people who are here unlawfully isn’t going to be one of them.
“It is deeply troubling that most of Joe Biden’s first acts as president were to protect illegal immigrants and encourage illegal immigration at the expense of American jobs and workers,” Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) said after Biden announced his amnesty plans.
Other GOP senators focus on regulation, businesses, borrowing, and taxes while ignoring the damaging impact of foreign workers moving into Americans’ jobs.

and living the good life with his China connection.
McConnell thinks we are all idiots to try and sell this bilge water as his concern. I wonder how many will buy his lies and does he even care if we don’t? The GOP is dead. All calls and letters asking for money will be used for fire starters if they will burn.
Those handling Joe and telling him what to say are not bound by any ethical values that will cause them to do what they have Joe say.
Seriously, Joe does not and never has walked the talk. Don't expect him to now. His statements on immigration can change at any moment. His ten year path to citizenship could turn into a twenty year catch-22 process.
We need to focus on actions not words.
FU Mitch
Get the F out
DJT Pointed out that what they say is consistently and diametrically opposed to what they do.

Bitch mCcOnNeLl made it all possible, may he reap what he sowed.
Hey Mitch, You and slow Joe are both swamp creatures and are not worth a bucket of cow snot between the two of ya.
Yes poster 92
Stick it, Turtle. What a p***k.
Go to Hell Mitch
Stolen elections have consequences......
Mitch is now the leader of the GOP and responsible for fundraising....so he will lament all these Biden actions and beg for money to stop him.
We will give NOTHING to the GOP anymore. Let’s bankrupt them and take the pieces to create a new GOP that stands for the US Constitution, Individual Liberty and Capitalism.

FY Mitch
Buncha show voting losers.
The WhiGOP is dead. Long live the Patriot Party!
Sasse and Collins for sure.
Well Senator China lover you helped elect the scum.
I’ve defended both McConnell and Barr in the past on Free Republic.
However the McConnell/Barr skeptics were right and I was wrong.
McConnell either has Senate Republicans(every one of those lazy bastards) vote to acquit the latest impeachment farce, or he can resign as Senate minority leader.
I wish I was wrong and you were right. But it it what it is. Nobody forced the GOP to collude with Democrats to obstruct MAGA and President Trump.
Don’t buy the upcoming fake impeachment “support” from the GOP for Trump. The GOP will never convict. If they were going to that they would have held the trial while Trump was still in the WH. Instead McConnell choreographed it this way so that the GOP can pretend to “support” President Trump by voting not to convict. Then they will spend the next two years running around telling the base how supportive of President Trump they were. Typical beltway scam.
