Paul Ryan Opposes Trumps Immigration Cuts, Wants Struggling American Workers to Stay Poor
I just think arbitrary cuts to legal immigration dont take into effect the economys needs as the boomers are retiring, Ryan told the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel on Friday afternoon. With baby boomers leaving the workforce, were still going to have labor shortages in certain areas and that is where a well-reformed legal immigration system should be able to make up the difference.
The Wall Street Journal essentially sided with Ryan, arguing that more immigrants are needed to keep wages down, apparently conceding that the Raise Act would reduce the downward pressure that massive immigration is being put on wages.
According to the Journal-Sentinel, though Ryan, always the politician, said he had not familiarized himself with the Raise Act, he questioned the wisdom of actually cutting the number of immigrants entering the United States.
I think legal immigration is good for our country. Im a supporter of legal immigration, Ryan said.
As Breitbart News has reported, Ryan has long represented the corporatist and power point wing of the GOP on immigration. He has also worked with Rep. Luis Gutierrez (D-IL) on various pieces of amnesty legislation over the years. The bombastic Chicago Democrat gave Ryan some heartfelt praise for Ryans pro-amnesty views during a joint 2013 appearance in which they pushed comprehensive immigration reform.
