Sen. Josh Hawley: Democratic Plan Is Amnesty for 13M Illegals to Flood Workforce | 11 Dec 2024 | Sen. Josh Hawley (R-MO) said Democrats are hoping to give amnesty to some 13 million illegal aliens to flood the United States workforce with low-wage foreign workers with whom working and middle class Americans must compete for jobs. During a Senate Judiciary Committee hearing this week, Hawley blasted a Democrat witness for his pro-amnesty position despite the majority of Americans supporting deportations. “Why would you want American citizens and those who are here lawfully to have to compete against illegal immigrants?” Hawley asked the witness.
