BILBRAY LETTER TO PRESIDENT OBAMA ON JOB CREATION
BILBRAY LETTER TO PRESIDENT OBAMA ON JOB CREATION AND ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION
States News Service
December 3, 2009
WASHINGTON, D.C.
The following information was released by the office of California Rep. Brian Bilbray:
Congressman Brian Bilbray sent the following letter to President Obama regarding job creation and illegal immigration:
November 3, 2009
The Honorable Barack Obama
President of the United States
The White House
1600 Pennsylvania Avenue
Washington D.C. 20500
Dear President Obama,
We agree with your November 2, 2009, statement to your Economic Recovery Advisory Board that the administrations overriding focus is creating jobs, and your call for bold, innovative action to ensure additional American jobs. And we were glad to hear you say [I]f somebody can show me a strategy that's going to work, then we are happy to consider it. We write to suggest just such a strategy.
U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) worksite enforcement actions save and create jobs for Americans and legal workers if the illegal immigrant workers are detained and deported.
Each time ICE conducts a worksite enforcement action, there is an opportunity to ensure that jobs previously held by illegal immigrants are opened to legal workers.
American jobs continue to disappear at a staggering rate, and 15.1 million Americans are now out of work. At the same time, according to the most recent estimates from the Pew Hispanic Center, seven million jobs are held by illegal immigrants. Any action your administration takes to prevent illegal immigrants from getting jobs will help ensure that an American has a job. Worksite enforcement actions are the most effective way to do so.
Sincerely,
Brian Bilbray, Member of Congress
Lamar Smith, Member of Congress
Steve King, Member of Congress
