Bernie Sanders admits bringing in low-skilled illegal immigrants hurt jobs

  Presidential hopeful Bernie Sanders spoke at an event held by the Hispanic Chamber of Commerce and he had something very interesting to say about illegal immigration. Of course he backs amnesty and a pathway to citizenship; that goes without saying and is not what I found to be interesting.

  What I found to be interesting was this:

“Should we have a completely open border so that anyone can come in the United States of America?” Sanders replied, after MSNBC’s Alex Seitz-Wald asked the Senator about his position. “If that were to happen, which I strongly disagree with, there is no question in my mind that that would substantially lower wages in this country.”

“When you have 36-percent of Hispanic kids in this country who can’t find jobs and you bring a lot of unskilled workers in the country what do you think happens to that 36-percent of kids of today who are unemployed? 51% of African-American kids?” he said.

  For years the narrative, which started with George W Bush, which we were fed is that these illegal immigrants are only taking the jobs that Americans will not do and those of us who have disagreed with that statement have been called racists, radicals, and nativists for expressing an opinion which is no longer politically correct.

  And now along comes good ole socialist Bernie Sanders and makes the same argument the conservatives have been making and it is not newsworthy? What do you think the mainstream media would be saying about these racist comments if it had been one of the Republican candidates who said something like this? I guess I answered that question in the question itself…
