33 million workers are coming to take your jobs!

(It would be impossible not to notice the Clear Channel logo clearly displayed at the bottom of the billboard. Clear Channel, as you may know, employs Rush Limbaugh.)

What has been proposed by congressional Democrats and even Macro Rubio could hardly be considered amnesty, and as you’re probably aware, that 33 million worker number was pulled straight out of their ass. And by “their ass” I mean The Daily Caller.

What they don’t tell you is that this fantastical number was reached by adding up people who are already here along with their family members and other fictional persons. Furthermore, the 33 million figure is based on an amendment to the Senate immigration reform bill offered by Senator Sessions (R) that would have placed a hard cap on immigration over the next 10 years. That doesn’t necessarily mean that many people would have immigrated during that time period. Between 10 and 20 million are already here allegedly taking our jobs.

Sessions’ amendment was defeated by a margin 17 to 1. Only he voted it.
