Wisconsin Working Families Party endorses mass-immigration champion Rep. Gwen Moore

Wisconsin Working Families Party (WFP), which says "our economy is out of whack when wages are stagnant and good jobs are harder and harder to come by . . ." wants Rep. Gwen Moore (D-4th) to remain in Congress in order to continue her agenda of supporting illegal aliens and continued high levels of legal immigration.

Why would any organization claiming to care about American workers endorse a politician for reelection who for years has consistently been at odds with its stated mission of "fighting for an economy that works for all of us, and a democracy in which every voice matters."

Says the "progressive" Ms. Moore:  

"I am proud to be endorsed by the Wisconsin Working Families Party.  It is akin to receive a badge of honor for upholding the banner for issues that matter to the people:  living wage jobs, fighting for Medicare, Medicaid and access to basic health care, fair funding for public schools, fair and equitable tax and ending mass incarceration."

Very touching, but where is the honor in promoting an immigration policy that benefits the very few at the expense of the many, especially the most vulnerable members of our society?

According to Harvard economist George Borjas, mass immigration each year transfers about $500 billion to the greed-driven beneficiaries of a public policy that affects every aspect of our daily lives. 

"Both low- and high-skilled natives are affected by the influx of immigrants," says Borjas.  "But because a disproportionate percentage of immigrants have few skills, it is low-skilled American workers, including many blacks and Hispanics, who have suffered most from this wage dip. The monetary loss is sizable. The typical high school dropout earns about $25,000 annually. According to census data, immigrants admitted in the past two decades lacking a high school diploma have increased the size of the low-skilled workforce by roughly 25 percent. As a result, the earnings of this particularly vulnerable group dropped by between $800 and $1,500 each year."

Ms. Moore is among the many "lawmakers" in Congress who have enthusiastically helped maintain our federally-created immigration crisis that is costing Wisconsin - and the nation - more every year.

If the Working Family Party is serious about achieving a "better future for working families," they're not going to get any help from Ms. Moore and her ilk.
