McCain: Immigration bill could give foreign workers leg up on Americans

Two Republicans who helped write the Senate’s immigration bill said Tuesday that they are convinced it will finally be able to get a handle on the porous southwestern border — but acknowledged it could mean problems for American workers.

Sens. John McCain and Jeff Flake, both Arizona Republicans, said they fear that foreign workers will be more attractive to hire than Americans for some companies because the foreigners won’t be eligible for the same health care benefits. . . .

     Even without amnesties and health care, illegals already often have an advantage, because to get a foothold many are willing to work at slave wages and live a dozen people in a house, sharing rent and other expenses, while many American citizens need to care about obtaining a living wage if they ever want to raise a family and have a home. 

     And a "handle on the porous southwestern border'? Don't make us laugh. The Senate amnesty fanatics couldn't even keep from backing away from some earlier promised border enforcement requirements before their bill was passed.
