Sen. Jeff Sessions (R-AL), chairman of the Senate Judiciary’s immigration subcommittee, in a Sunday radio interview discussed the alarming new report from the subcommittee that documents the “radical” pace of immigration. For every one net American born (births minus deaths) “the federal government will add seven more people to the country through future immigration.”
Sessions noted that polls show that Americans favor a reduction rather than an increase in immigration by a three-to-one majority, yet most politicians favor an increase in legal immigration levels. His explanation: the politicians are “too close to the corporate class” that fund their campaigns. Business interests want wages to go down to increase profits – and can achieve that goal by continuing and even increasing mass immigration to create an over-supply of labor.
Sessions pointed out how high legal immigration levels set by Congress already were: “In fact, the United States accounts for five percent of the world’s population; we take in already 20 percent of the [world’s] immigrants.”
