GOP Leaders Promise to Exclude Illegal Migrants from American JobsNeil Munro7 Sep 20220
GOP leaders are collectively urging Republican candidates to show voters that a Republican majority will protect their wages by requiring all employers to exclude illegal migrants from jobs.
“Republicans have a clear plan to secure our border: Combat illegal immigration by requiring proof of legal status when applying for a job,” said a leadership campaign document, which was sent to Republican candidates in early August by the House’s GOP leadership team.
Until recently, “the campaign message for most Republicans on immigration has been centered on “Biden is bad, our border is being overrun!” said R.J. Hauman, the head of government relations at the Federation for American Immigration Reform. He continued:
This is true and voters agree. But [Republicans] have to tell us what their plan is besides getting elected. That’s what they’re doing here and we’re thrilled to see it. Mandatory E-verify. No taxpayer benefits for illegal aliens, and ending catch and release are absolutely essential [for candidates] to stress on the [campaign] trail.
E-Verify is an Internet-based system that allows employers to quickly verify that prospective employees are legal at no cost in time or cash to the employers.
The campaign document is titled “The Republican Commitment to A Nation That’s Safe.” The leading paragraph says:
Record illegal border crossings under the Biden administration have led to more illegal drugs and overdoses, more crime, and a demoralized Border Patrol who are demonized by the left and prohibited from carrying out their law enforcement mission. The crisis at the border has become a national security and humanitarian crisis and must be addressed.
