John Binder, Breitbart, March 2, 2017
During Trump’s joint address to the Congress, he called for a merit-based legal immigration system, saying that the current law allowing extended-family chain migration hurts American workers and drives wages down.
In an interview with the Fox Business Network, AFL-CIO President Richard Trumka said his union has been talking about this problem with legal immigration for years, hinting at support for the plan.
“This was the first time the president has talked about legal immigration being used to drive down wages,” Trumka told Fox Business. “We’ve been saying that for a long time.”

The AFL-CIO has also praised the Trump White House for the withdrawal the U.S. from the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP), as Breitbart News reported.
