Graham: ‘Not Accurate’ That Foreign Workers Are Hurting American Wages, Job Opportunities

Thursday on MSNBC, when asked about the immigration plan President Donald Trump is supporting, Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) said he could not support the bill because it is based on an inaccurate argument that foreign workers are hurting American wages and job opportunities.

Graham said, “The argument is that these foreign workers are hurting the American wages and job opportunities. I think that is not accurate. I think the truth is that employers can advertise until the cows come home. And there are certain areas like meat packing, and tourism, and agriculture that you just can’t find the American-born labor to do those jobs. And these legal visas keep the company from going out of business or moving overseas. And I don’t want an economy that doesn’t recognize how diverse we are as a nation. And to take all of the green cards and put them in one end of the economy is just I think Ill-advised. And I can’t support that.”

there are certain areas like meat packing, and tourism, and agriculture that you just can’t find the American-born labor to do those jobs. And these legal visas keep the company from going out of business or moving overseas.

America doesn't need any globalist-geared companies that claim they must hire foreign workers instead of providing jobs for Americans. They should all go out of business or move abroad ASAP. They're a drain on our energy supplies and other resources, as well as our taxes being used to subsidize their profiteerings, and they also cause shutdowns of American businesses that do want their employees to be Americans.

From comments at the Breitbart.com article on S.C. Sen. Lindsey Graham's disinfo:

"Tell that to the tech workers who are losing their jobs to legal lower wage foreigners."

"Debbie Wassermann Schultz and her Pakistani IT terrorists are a good example. But they were paid a Kings salary"

"Graham is an Out-Of-Touch LIAR...FACT: IT workers are imported under phony VISAs just to cut wages of American workers!"

"Let us see about this lie, Walt Disney Orlando FL replace 1,200 Citizens workers with H1B visas, Microsoft replaced 12,000 Citizens with H1B visas, power plant in CA replaced 400 citizens with H1B visas. In Tenn. all new jobs went to H1B visa workers [and] not a citizen in [Tennessee] got the jobs for over the last three years. The H1B visa worker is a TAX CREDIT to the employer. We citizens are subsidizing these workers and are losing jobs in the process."

"A lot of these companies that hire foreign workers do advertise for Americans first. The problem is WHERE they advertise. They are known for advertising 100+ miles away from where the position actually is, just so they can say they advertised, but got no American applicants,"

"[He] mentioned tourism going overseas, really how can [a] tourist visit the grand canyon overseas?"

"facepalm - how can 'meat packing, and tourism, and agriculture' jobs be moved over seas???"

"Graham is a [shill] for globalists and open border donor class."

"Graham is a liar. ICE raided the Swift meat packing plants in 2006 and removed their primarily illegal workforce. Within a few months all the plants were open again staffed with American black, white, and Hispanic citizens and legal immigrants. People lined up by the hundreds for those jobs."

"I worked in the meat packing industry ~ good money to spend on college tuition. Those jobs all ended up being done by Spanish speakers who edged out my kids."

"[Brother] worked in construction 30 years ago. He was undercut by cheap foreign labor so quit construction and got into seamless gutters. Before too long he was being undercut there too so he went into trucking. Guess what? He got undercut in the trucking business too. In North Carolina where he lives its difficult to get a trucking job that pays more than $10 per hour. So when Lindsey Graham says foreign labor does not undercut the wages of Americans he's a ... liar!!"

"I'm not happy about the contractors who prowl the the lumber yard store's parking lot looking to hire illegals because they prefer illegals , and won't hire legitimate workers. It's time they get caught and punished."

"If there are 10 businesses looking for people to move boxes or roof houses, and they have a choice between paying 2 Mexicans $10/Hr cash ($5/hr each) or hiring 1 American and filling out all the paper work I9 and W4 + Hourly wage of $8/hr... The Amercan is going to lose 9 out of 10 times..."

"it might look different if these companies were investigated for worker rights violations. They pay under minimum wage in many cases because who is an illegal immigrant going to complain to?" [Note: Discrimination against Americans who are prohibited by law from working off the grids of Commerce and Tax laws.]

"Let me get this straight: Graham believes that a business man who can hire foreign employees who are willing to work for 50% less than American workers wouldn't hire the foreigners?"

"every time an illegal alien [Note: or Visa-imported foreign-worker] was hired, an American citizen WAS NOT hired. Most certainly, it depresses the wages of Americans."

"[Americans] can be found if they are paid a fair wage."

"[Graham] understands supply and demand until it comes to American workers. This dispicable man is making war on the entire party" ... "congress has a 10% approval rating with Republicans, all because of guys like Graham."

"Perhaps we should recruit for the Senate , overseas as well...I'll take [Geert] Wilders, [Nigel Farage], the President[s] of Poland and Hungary, and other players to be named at a later date...a special visa for all of them.... if the current Swamp mates believe we can fill our armed forces with foreigners, and our jobs with foreigners, why not our House and Senate jobs as well ?"

The military actually does this and offers them citizenship for service in the Army, Navy or Marines, etc.
