    Via Breitbart Immigration, Breitbart.COM/immigration, see Neil Munro
    on whether Donald Trump regrets taking Jared Kushner's advice to
    downplay the National Question on the campaign trail against Joe Biden
    and Kamala Harris: <URL:https://www.breitbart.com/economy/2023/08/18/gop-dodges-demands-for-more-migrant-labor/>
    | So GOP politicians are carefully zig-zagging between the influential
    | business donors and the voters who are getting more pay. Bloomberg
    | reported the poll-tested equivocation:
    |
    || State Senator Mike Bousselot, a Republican in Polk County, hits
    || both notes when asked if immigration reform is needed to address the
    || hiring squeeze. "First and foremost we need to secure our border,"
    || he says. "Beyond that we need to make sure we have a pathway for
    || people to legally immigrate and that we're bringing great people
    || into this country to go fill jobs."
    |
    | Some Iowa GOP politicians say they favor state-run curbs on illegal
    | migration. Bloomberg.com reported:
    |
    || Senator Julian Garrett of Warren County sponsored a bill that
    || would mandate the use of E-Verify, a platform that allows employers
    || to check documents provided by new hires to confirm they're
    || authorized to work in the US. The plan reflects the national GOP's
    || priority of cracking down on illegal immigration and mirrors a
    || similar law that recently came into effect in Florida.
    |
    | The polls also help to explain why Midwest GOP Senators blocked a
    | Democratic plan in Congress to import many more foreign workers for
    | white-collar careers on the plains.
    |
    | Moreover, calls by Iowa employers for more migrants in Iowa would
    | require a massive inflow of migrants nationwide.

    Will Miriam Adelson, Robert Bigelow, Betsy DeVos, Ken Griffin, Julia
    Koch, Bernie Marcus, Lachlan Murdoch, David Sacks and Steve Wynn
    permit Ron DeSantis to warn legacy American proles that Donald Trump
    will sign comprehensive immigration reform passed by Kevin McCarthy
    and Mitch McConnell if includes "merit-based"?
