Watch–Democrat Abigail Spanberger Parrots Business Lobby: ‘Employers’ Need Amnesty for Illegal Aliens

Abigail Spanberger, Rep. Dave Brat’s (R-VA) opponent in Virginia’s 7th District, says amnesty for all 12 million to 22 million illegal aliens living across the United States is necessary to “meet the needs of the employers.”

Spanberger parroted the usual talking points of the U.S. Chamber of Commerce and the Business Roundtable on the issue of immigration, claiming that amnesty for illegal aliens is necessary to inflate the labor market, drive down wages, and provide cheap foreign workers to employers.

“We need comprehensive immigration reform that is strong on border security and strengthing our points of entry,” Spanberger said. “But we also need immigration reform that will meet the needs of the employers, here throughout the 7th District, here throughout the Commonwealth of Virginia.”

“And we need comprehensive immigration reform to give certainty to DREAMers, to children who were brought here through no fault of their own by their parents,” Spanberger said, endorsing an amnesty for all illegal aliens eligible and enrolled in the President Obama-created Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program.

Brat rebutted Spanberger’s claims that amnesty for illegal aliens helps American citizens.

“As the labor supply goes up with a huge amnesty, American wages go down, American jobs go down, and so our efforts [on avoiding amnesty] have been very positive,” Brat said.
