Sessions: Average Truck Driver Needs Are as Important as Facebook’s Zuckerberg’s

Friday at the The Heritage Foundation, Sen. Jeff Sessions (R-AL) said President Barack Obama’s executive action amnesty is not putting the American worker first saying, “The average working truck driver is just as important as Mr. Zuckerberg.”

Sessions said, “It’s time for us to stand up for the American worker … Even in the IT industry wages have not gone up since 2000,”  he continued. “Mr. Gates signs a letter to the president demanding action and other people saying we have to have more foreign immigrants the same week Microsoft laid off 18,000 workers Mr Zuckerberg spending tens of millions maybe hundred of millions of dollars on his agenda.”

“I don’t think this nation faces a crisis in a lack of workers, we have a crisis in the lack of jobs.”
