immigrants into the country, you say to protect the jobs of u.s. workers, the bill would cut the rate of legal immigration in half. and here's what the chamber of commerce has to say about your bill, quote, dramatically increasing levels won't raise the standard of living for americans, in fact, it will likely accomplish the opposite making it harder for businesses, communities, and our overall economy to grow, prosper, and create jobs for american workers. what's your response? >> jake, we've had 40 years of mass migration in this country, the number of foreign-born persons in this country has not quadrupled in the 1970s. i don't think it's a coincidence in that time people with the high school degree or less have seen their wages fall. that's because when you have more unscaled and low skilled workers coming into this country, of course it's going to put pressure on working class wages, and it's going to take jobs away from some working americans. i think there's broad consensus that we need to reorient our legal immigration system to award green cards to the most talented and capable imgraduates who cannot just support
