Illegal Immigration’s Impact on American Workers, Wages and Freedom You Never Hear About
The Supreme Court this week heard oral arguments in the case of United States v. Texas, where 26 states are suing the Obama administration over the president’s executive order effectively granting amnesty to more than four million immigrants in the U.S. illegally.
Under the president’s order, those currently illegal may stay here, work here and become eligible to receive education and social services, including Social Security, ObamaCare, Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) and Medicare.
The case was perhaps the most important one to go before the high court since the death of Justice Antonin Scalia, a prominent conservative voice who would most assuredly have voted to affirm the two lower court decisions. The Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals in New Orleans ruled last year against President Obama and upheld a Texas judge’s injunction against the expansion of the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program.
DACA shields young illegal immigrants from deportation if their parents brought them to the U.S. as children.
Now, a new documentary on illegal immigration put together by an organization called America Workingsheds light on what has been a bipartisan failure to secure the border and reform a broken immigration system.
National security and the defense of American sovereignty are the top constitutional obligations that come with the Office of the President. Yet, none of the previous ten presidents (5 Democrats, 5 Republicans) have done anything meaningful to address the problem. Further, our representative lawmakers, with whom the constitution provides sole authority for writing immigration law, have not taken action to stop illegal immigration.
The documentary seeks to ask and answer two major questions: Why have our leaders failed to secure the border? And how many illegal immigrants are really in the United States? The filmmakers also discuss the impact illegal immigration has had on American workers, wages, economic mobility and liberty.
