Radio’s Mark Levin on Friday evening excoriated House GOP leadership, particularly House Speaker John Boehner, Majority Leader Eric Cantor and Budget Committee chairman Paul Ryan, for their immigration policies that will end up aiding an increased welfare state.
Levin:  We’ve talked about Obama and his economic record, which is worse than Jimmy Carter’s. Now, what are we going to do about it in this country? They have a new idea. In addition to increasing unemployment compensation, or I should say extending, in addition to more food stamps and more disability insurance—in other words, expand the welfare side of the state rather than the productive side of the state—the Republicans have a ‘great idea’: amnesty. If we make illegal workers legal, and of course we don’t really secure the border wink wink, we just say we will at some point in the future—that’s been going on for about 30 years now—and word gets back home in that country or that country over there and the other country over there and of course it encourages more illegal aliens to come into our country. What happens then, to the workforce, ladies and gentlemen? Well here’s the deal: They like to talk about increasing the minimum wage on the left and unemployment insurance and ‘protecting the workers’ and benefits and healthcare and all the rest. Yet not only do their statist, Marxist policies undermine all of that, because they destroy the heartland, or I should say the core, of our industrial nation, but when you import people into this country with incentives, without enforcing the law, migration and what have you, many of whom are illiterate as I say over and over again in their own language, or low-skilled or unskilled, you drive down wages. The same people who are pushing this are pushing an increase in minimum wage and the rest of the welfare state. But the Republicans are in on it too.
