AgJobs will hurt U.S. citizens

Rep. Chris Cannon introduced his AgJobs bill to allow illegal aliens to work here legally. A few of the perks in AgJobs will be: Foreigners will apply in consular offices around the world and are then entitled to enter the United States and are entitled to bring spouses and children. Organizations outside the federal government will accept amnesty applications, but federal authorities will not have access to the records. Help will come from immigration lawyers paid by the taxpayer-funded Legal Services Corporation Act.

What do American citizens get from Cannon's AgJobs — aside from jobs lost, increased social services for aliens paid by Americans, increased crime and billions of dollars sent abroad? Taxpayers will pay $40 million yearly to administer AgJobs.
