It’s a Neil Munro story about Republican legislators signing a letter about the effects of immigration on the American worker. That’s the good news — the bad news is that only
16 House conservatives signed the letter, including Rep. Tom Cotton, who is running for a Senate seat in Arkansas.
Mo Brooks thinks it’s fear of of donors:
“I can’t say for a certainty why some Representatives have not cosigned a letter to protect American workers, but I do note that it is an election year and there is some fear associated with very wealthy people who are contributors [and] who make profits by hiring illegal aliens and foreign workers over American citizens,” Brooks said.
However, the GOP isn’t only afraid of donors, they also have a healthy respect for their actual voters. Another Munro story has Bob Goodlatte reversing a previous flip-flop back in the direction of patriotism:
