Florida Republican Rep. Maria Salazar\u2019s migration bill is a high-stakes attack by business groups on the wages of her party\u2019s populist-minded voters.<\/p>\n
\u201cHere\u2019s what matters most,\u201d Salazar said<\/a>\u00a0in a poll-tested, talking-point response to populist criticism<\/a> from Rep. Brandon Gill (R-TX):<\/p>\n It costs ZERO taxpayer dollars. Reduces the deficit. Invests $70 BILLION into our [employers\u2019] workforce.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n \u201cIt\u2019s really simple\u201d for business lobbyists, Gill told a radio show<\/a>:<\/p>\n They want cheap labor \u2026They want illegal aliens in the country. Because for them, that is bigger profit margins whenever you suppress American wages, or whenever you\u2019re able to replace more expensive American workers with cheaper illegal aliens or other [visa worker] foreigners. That increases their profit margin. I mean, it\u2019s really, really simple for them.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n
