Mission Accomplished: "We Must Make America Somewhere No One Wants to Live"--Mitch McConnell

Appearing with House Speaker John Boehner, McConnell said that, in contrast to President Obama’s “Band-Aid fixes,” the Republican plan would address “the root cause of immigration, which is that the United States is, for the most part, habitable.

“For years, immigrants have looked to America as a place where their standard of living was bound to improve,” McConnell said. “We’re going to change that.”

Boehner said that the Republicans’ plan would reduce or eliminate “immigration magnets,” such as the social safety net, public education, clean air, and drinkable water.

What is wrong with the voters in his district anyway? Can't they see they are not going to benefit from the 1%'s plan for US 3rd worldism?
