You know, when you present a title like "Person X: <Do thing>", it's typically to be assumed that that person actually said that, or something like that. But they didn't. The article doesn't call for more immigration. Here's what it says:
Those include the fact that
at least 8 million unauthorized immigrants are employed, most have been in this country for 15 years or longer, and typically they do jobs — tending crops, washing dishes, mowing lawns — that native-born Americans do not want. In basic economic terms, illegal immigrants meet the labor market’s demand for lower-wage employees, for which there is a shortage of available legal workers.
Even if it were logistically possible to round up and deport millions of such workers, the effect would be not just inhumane, shredding families; it would also be economically catastrophic. That explains the magnetic force that pushes the debate toward reform, even as Mr. Trump’s combustible rhetoric inflames the GOP base against it.
And you know what?
They're right. For the most part, immigrants do work our own low-skilled workers don't do. The evidence that they lead to our wages going down?
Mixed at best. Maybe before reaching straight to attacking Bezos on his other companies and insinuating some eeeeevil motive, these guys should have read the article they were writing about.
This is why I don't read Breitbart. Not because it's right-wing. Not because it's partisan. Not because it's biased (but make no mistake, if you want to complain about media bias and then you cite Breitbart as a source, you're about as big a hypocrite as a candidate whose motto is "America first" and who builds his factories overseas). But because it's just stupidly dishonest. Think about it - why do you think they didn't quote any part of the WaPo article? Why couldn't they find an excerpt, even a sentence or two, to support their claim? It's because it's not in there, and they're lying about the article.
