Freebase Dali, you're missing the point as to why Libertarian/CoC wing of the Republican Party wants immigration reform in a manner consistent with that of the Left Wing of the Democratic Party. This bill, if passed, will add an estimated 40 million new workers to the labour pool within just the first decade. The effect of this will be to not only prevent the rise of the cost of unskilled labour but to decrease its value. Further, it will increase the unemployment rate, thereby decreasing the possibility of a federal minimum wage increase that compensates for the current inflationary monetary policy.
