"Chamber CEO: U.S. Needs More Low-Skill Immigration Since Americans Are Not 'Qualified" or 'Willing' to Do Such Work"

Instead of welfare and handouts, why not 'workfare'?  Work or go hungry?  Rehome the children of folks who do not support them?

Quote
Chamber of Commerce CEO Tom Donohue says in an op-ed that the U.S. needs more low-skill immigration because Americans are not "qualified" or "willing" to do such work.

"Immigration can also address labor shortages in lesser-skilled fields where there are insufficient numbers of either qualified or willing U.S. workers to fill positions," Donohue writes.

Alabama senator Jeff Sessions tries to frame the issue differently. “We must transition struggling Americans from welfare and joblessness to work and rising wages,” says Sessions. “But the only plan the President and Senate Democrats appear interested in supporting would hollow out a shrinking American middle class.

This is about the stupidest thing ever and might I add incredibly demeaning.

Let's add another 20 million people into the country who are low skilled and low educated that will be immediate candidates for welfare and unemployment. Need I add, they will not pay income taxes and will be in the positive with the earned income tax credits!

HERE IS THE FALISY OF THE CHAMBER OF COMMERCE ...

So if they are allowed in the country legally and given citizenship, the low paid, unskilled immigrants would have to be paid minimum wage, not what they are currently paid under the table. So if companies were forced to pay the minimum wage now, imagine the amount of Americans would take those jobs? Or, these companies will always look for an underground market of low pays.

Also, who thinks that it is completely elitist and demeaning to say that we need these illegal, low pays in America to mow our lawns and do slave work?

We already have a dependent, generational welfare class in America. We hardly need to add to it. How about we cut off the welfare, food stamps, unemployment, phony disability and perks that just create a lazy and uninspired people and make them take a job? If some one does not have a legitimate physical and mental disability ... why are they not working, if there are jobs out there?
