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.

Blow it out your turtle 🐢 a$$
Just ‘Day One’.
We are in for a lot more days like this.
I am more disgusted with Republicans than with Democrats right now.
You and about 80,000,000 others.
The Republicans chose ... Badly.
No flames from me.
Shove it, Mitch.
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.
What a lying sack of $hit! So much fake concern.
To hell with Biden and his enabler McConnell.
The GOP does not work for us and never will. We need a new party.
Says the CCP asset.
If only the Republicans can just win the House and Senate and Whitehouse again they will secure the border ...
“I know the flames will come, but I just don’t know that I can cast a vote for the republican party again. I’m just so done being played like a fiddle.”
You are not alone. At this point, the disaffected Republican voter may be the majority within the Republican party.
Rush talked about this exact thing today. He was talking about the furry of emails from the RNC begging for money to stop the illegals, Paris accords, etc.
As you both said, you had a guy who wanted to and did just that...stop all of this BS the best he could. These jokers determined since he wasn’t “one of them” they couldn’t run him out of town fast enough. Well, he’s gone from D.C. and now we all have to pay the price for their 30 pieces of silver from the ChiComs that they are stealing from us.
I’ll be civil and say pound sand and screw you Cocaine Mitch!
I don’t think they even have to take it up. House violated the Constitution half dozen times according to Dershowitz. Damned thing’s null and void on its face.
Like you really give a damn, Mitch.
Ditch is a Worker, of the China support kind.
So the lack of support for Trump when it came to the election fraud debacle can be overlooked . . . ?
You’re not alone. Certainly not a vote for any regular Republican.
China Mitch and his Quisling Republicans have torn the heart out of the GOP base. History will damn them all.
Rhymes with Mitch... if he cared he would have helped challenge things on January 6th.
