The Senate's "Border deal" is a terrible bargain hashed out behind closed doors, one that sells out the American working class in favor of illegal immigrants, the biggest corporations, and Wall Street.
At the heart of the new border bill is a radical idea: legal provisions that, after a quick intake screening, would grant immediate work authorization to individuals requesting asylum.
Second, the bill would allow employers to slash wages for American workers.
Why risk employing an American citizen-who might be a member of a union and might insist on fair treatment-when you can hire illegal aliens newly authorized to work?
There are the 50,000 new green cards authorized by the bill, which would merely compound the impact on American workers.
Make no mistake: This bill is, above all, a betrayal of American workers.
Congress is poised to hand employers the ultimate anti-worker kryptonite: a shadow army of reserve labor, at the service of companies that have plenty of cash for dividends and stock buybacks, but somehow never enough to pay American workers a fair wage.
