The United States “keeps out too many” foreign nationals from the country, according to officials representing the billionaire GOP mega-donor Koch brothers and their network of donor class organizations.
During a recent conference, Americans for Prosperity Senior Vice President Jorge Lima said the U.S. legal immigration system is insufficient in that it does not allow more foreign nationals to come to the country to compete against working and middle class Americans in the labor market.

The “broken” immigration system in the U.S. “is a lose-lose situation, and hurtful to American citizens and immigrants alike,” said Jorge Lima, a senior vice president at the Koch-funded political advocacy group Americans for Prosperity.

The Koch network is promising to launch a new campaign this year that demands amnesty for millions of illegal aliens. The network has also promised to financially back any politician, including Democrats, who support their agenda of free trade at all costs and amnesty for illegal aliens.
