Last week during an interview with GOP presidential candidate, Rick Santorum, Chris Mathews rebuffs the rhetoric that illegal aliens fill jobs American's don't want to do. He references a man cutting grass on a tractor at a golf course saying, "give that guy $30 an hour, there would be a lot more people out there." He continues, "You pay people enough money, they'll take those jobs."
Watch the interview exchange below:
Former Pennsylvania Senator Rick Santorum has been a long time advocate for reducing legal immigration and ending illegal immigration. In the interview Santorum refers to a study conducted by Center of Immigration Studies that shows there are very few job categories where the majority of workers in that category are immigrants.
