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.

I hope this crook gets heckled the rest of his life. A Total Traitor!
Take Mitch’s ‘concern’ for workers - - add 5 bucks - - and you can buy a cup of coffee in DC...
MITCH the P.O.S. said its a “bad day for the american worker” ......not that he he is really going to do anything about it except talk B.S. and roll over ...as usual
Too bad he doesn’t attend the baseball games like Scaiise did, maybe they can get him at home or something, what a shame that would be
Election Fraud has been around for decades. All they need is their vote counters in place in the County Recorders Offices. Soon they will have “mail in only” and things will be nice and clean and tidy
Trump should identify as an illegal alien and get amnesty.
He kissed ChinaJoe’s ring and helped oust Trump, now he acts like he isn’t happy with Bumbles??
You had your chance Mitch. It will not be long before you realize how much you have really lost.
DTM. Fine time for McConnell to be worried.
