Senate amnesty bill: higher wages for "guest" workers than Americans

The Senate illegal alien amnesty scheme, in addition to flooding the U.S. with both legal and illegal immigrants, would also sharply devalue the worth of U.S. citizenship. The latest example:

The Senate immigration bill would require that foreign construction laborers here under the guest-worker program be paid well above the minimum wage, even as American workers at the same work site could earn less.

The bill "would guarantee wages to some foreign workers that could be higher than those paid to American workers at the same work site," says a policy paper released this week by the Senate's Republican Policy Committee. "This is unfair to U.S. workers, inappropriate, and unnecessary."

Some no doubt would not have a problem with this. Some of those might be self-flagellating "liberals" trying to atone for the "sins" of their forebears. Others are no doubt interested in reducing the power of those pesky U.S. citizens in order to better retain control.
