Senate Seeks Pay Raise for Aliens

These guys never learn, from the Washington Times:

The Senate immigration bill would require that foreign construction laborers here under the guest-worker program be paid well above the minimum wage, even as American workers at the same work site could earn less. The bill "would guarantee wages to some foreign workers that could be higher than those paid to American workers at the same work site," says a policy paper released this week by the Senate's Republican Policy Committee. "This is unfair to U.S. workers, inappropriate, and unnecessary."

It probably won't past, but the audacity of this attempt means they will probably try again and again...
