Letter body:
Since the beginning of his Senate campaign, Oregon Sen. Jeff Merkley has proclaimed his undying support for American workers while expressing “outrage” over illegal immigrants taking American jobs.
In his current newsletter he states, “there is no higher priority than creating and sustaining good jobs for Oregon’s working families.”
Yet at nearly every opportunity, both Oregon senators have instead voted to protect and help illegal immigrants and expand the influx of foreign labor. Their “yes” votes on S744 (the immigration bill) are the latest and most flagrant example.
Same blatant hypocrisy, different day.
