Rep. Mo Brooks (R-AL) told Breitbart News in an exclusive phone interview late last week that Republicans must stand up to stop amnesty because Democrats do not care about the disastrous economic effects such a policy like the Senate’s “Gang of Eight” bill would have on the country.
“The Senate Gang of Eight bill is yet another tragedy for the American worker,” Brooks said.
It either legalizes or imports more than 44 million foreigners over the next decade. When you consider that our entire population is only a little over 300 million, to have a roughly 15 percent increase in our population through legalization of illegals and importation of more foreigners, that’s quite significant. The dramatic increase in the labor supply will, according to the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) over the next decade, increase the unemployment rate for American workers, cut the average income for American workers—those who are lucky enough to get a job—and cut our Gross Domestic Product [GDP] per capita.
If amnesty like the Senate bill were ever to become law, the economic impact would be even worse on black and Hispanic communities. Brooks said that while some Republicans understand that, none of the Democrats even care about those impacts. “The Democrats don’t give a flip about the economic status of minority voters after the impact of 44 million legalized or imported foreigners,” Brooks said. “They’ll talk the game. They’ll drive the cries of racism in order to get voters on an emotional level while at the same time undermining the ability of American minority workers to support their own families.”
