Paul Ryan: Immigration Rules Should Offer Jobs to ‘Anyone’Breitbart, Dec 19, 2018
Retiring Paul Ryan today lamented his failure to deliver a global supply of migrant labor to businesses and investors — regardless of ordinary Americans’ desire for decent wages.
Ryan’s failure was ensured by Donald Trump’s 2016 election — and so Trump’s “Hire American†policy is now allowing Americans’ wages to rise amid a shortage of blue-collar workers and protests by business leaders.
Ryan’s lament came as his final efforts to outsource more Americans jobs to foreign workers were discarded in the confused negotiations over Congress’s failure to pass a 2019 budget for the Department of Homeland Security. That defeat for Ryan was missed by media coverage over funding for the border wall.
In Ryan’s farewell speech at the Library of Congress, he said “immigration reform†is needed because it would be good for “the nation,†not because it would be good for individual Americans.
“No less than our full potential as a nation here is at stake. But the right mix of policy solutions, it is there,†he said.
In contrast, pro-American immigration reformers say immigration policy should ensure that Americans can earn good wages, raise families and build wealth — despite investors’ desires for more cheap labor.
[...]
Ryan also declared that his cheap labor policy is “an economic and moral imperative and it would go a long way towards taking some of the venom out of our discourse.â€
But venom exists because the establishment leaders of the federal government refuse to enforce existing law, and instead use large-scale migration to change the nation, grow government power, and reward business donors.
