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.

I totally understand since the American unemployment rate is zero and nobody is on welfare. There are not any Americans who could possibly do that job anyway. Americans are above that.
Bttt.

HE so lives up to his last name.
This is a serious question. What law stop the gop from installing whomever they want in the primary? Even if a challenger should win, what would stop them from lying and giving the R slot to their CoC person of choice? I know in the general election there are laws, but the primaries?
Like what happened in Alaska with Murkowski?
Excellent point.
He works for the family for years and doesn't have zip to show for it.
The article reeks like a 5 day old homicide scene.
How many votes has Manuel cast for Flake?
Add Flake to the list of slaveholders the media and democrats are trying to pull down.
At least the old slavemasters provided housing for their slaves, which is better than Flake does.
Yeah, how do you lose the primary then win in a write in campaign? What I am saying is are there any laws about primaries where the parties must put forth the person who won? I know that sounds silly, but I’m not so sure they wouldn’t just lie and say Flake won, and there would be no laws broken. In other words, what would keep them honest?
This from gop guy:
“The media has created the perception that the voters choose the nomination. That’s the conflict here,” Curly Haugland, an unbound GOP delegate from North Dakota, told CNBC’s “Squawk Box” on Wednesday. He even questioned why primaries and caucuses are held.
Keep those slaves a commin’. We need people who’ll work for nothing. The Democrats and Republicans have ruined the black population. They are now unwilling to work for slave wages.
Flake, Hatch, Heller and Corker MUST GO in 2018!
All of the Amnesty Senators MUST GO!
Graham and Alexander in 2020
Murkowsky, Hoeven and Rubio in 2022
CMon Doc Ward! Beat this fool.
Sounds like slave labor
.
So the illegal alien the Flake family hired to work at their ranch or mansion for years, never had nothing, zip, no money to buy anything.
But then Flake goes on to say how hard the illegal worked, over and over and praised him for all that hard labor.
Typical corrupt greedy employers.. Flake is a fraud.
Will AZ voters sender an admitted law breaker and vow ignorer back to the Swamp? Why not, we’ve got a third rate comic, a self-avowed Marxist or two, senile pants wetters and an indicted child molester.
And these are supposed to be the elite who know more than us? Fake Congress.
Is this just the latest of many hires for this flake.
Isn’t that illegal? Arrest this criminal senator and take him to trial.
You know what is every bit as disturbing to me is the fact that Flake had no problem sharing this...he saw no problem in his family’s treatment of Manuel the illegal alien!
Had my parents done this, I would be ashamed—and privately praying for their and my* forgiveness. Who knows what else they were up to...
Not sure when or for how long Manuel was indentured to the Flakes, but I have a feeling the Senator was around for some of that time based on his comments...so he saw, and did nothing.
If liberals were not such hypocrites, they would be running him out of town—chasing him with tar and feathers!
Does this Manuel even exist? I wouldn’t be surprised if Flakey boy invented him.
Sounds like he’s a proponent of slavery.
