BARLETTA STATEMENT ON INTRODUCTION OF THE RAISE ACT

SUPPORTS SLASHING LEGAL IMMIGRATION BY 50%

Congressman Lou Barletta released the following statement regarding the introduction of the Reforming American Immigration for Strong Employment (RAISE) Act, by Senators Tom Cotton (R-AK) and David Perdue (R-GA) at the White House alongside President Trump:
“I commend Senators Tom Cotton and David Perdue for introducing this legislation to move our country toward a skills-based immigration system that will raise American workers’ wages, create jobs, and benefit our economy. We have immigration laws in this country for two basic reasons: to protect national security and to preserve American jobs. This bill reinforces those principles.
For more than a decade, I have argued that fixing our broken immigration system will create greater economic opportunities for American workers and families. Yet, for decades, politicians in Washington have supported policies that benefit foreign workers at the expense of American workers. Just one out of every 15 immigrants to the United States comes here because of their skills. This influx of low-skilled immigrant labor has decreased wages for those without college degrees by nearly 20 percent since the 1970s, and threatens to place the American Dream out of reach for far too many workers and their families. That has to change if we want to help American workers find jobs and remain competitive in today’s increasingly global economy. I look forward to working with the White House and my colleagues in Congress, particularly Rep. Lamar Smith (TX-21) and Senators Cotton and Perdue, to follow through on President Trump’s promise to reform our immigration system so that it puts America first.”
