Stopping illegal immigration would mean that wages would have to rise to a level where Americans would want the jobs currently taken by illegal aliens.
In the United States, resources exist to retrain displaced workers and promote the development of technologies that create new job opportunities for American workers.
Through good times and bad, American workers and their families have been able to rely on Social Security to provide guaranteed protection against the loss of earnings due to retirement, disability, or death.
U.S. trade policy has been a disaster for American workers.
Lots of hardworking, blue-collar people across America have lost their jobs since the 1990s - victims of the globalist policies of the Bushes and Clintons.
Enforcing trade deals is spot on. Acting in the interest of American workers is correct. But large-scale tariffs are a terrible idea.
I agree with President Trump that our trade deals need to be renegotiated so they are more fair to American workers.
The H-1B program was never intended to create a pool of foreign labor that displaces Americans' opportunities for good-paying jobs.
Stanley Hudson was the embodiment of many workers in America, both male and female. Creating the nuances of the character was fun and challenging in that much of his very being was grounded in his ability to editorialize any given situation, much of the time without uttering a single word.
We do not need an immigration policy that displaces American workers or American students and drives up costs in education.
Thankfully, President Trump has made clear: The regulatory assault on American workers is over.
Paul Ryan is the mercenary champion of Hillary Clinton's - this is Hillary Clinton's. This came out of the State Department. This Trans Pacific Partnership is going to export our jobs. It's going to import foreign workers to replace Americans and our jobs.
President Trump has done an extraordinary amount to promote our capitalist origins here at home while simultaneously, and this is how the government should work, protecting American workers from unbridled capitalism by redoing our trade agreements.
The one thing that everyone knows about America is people will say, I know my rights. One of those rights is the right to organize. When workers do get together and organize and drive up their wages, they are much, much better off. I think this is one integral part of food policy. We can't talk about increasing the price of food without figuring out how working Americans are going to pay for that.
Nothing has ever been made plainer at a general election than that the controlling principle in the raising of revenue from duties on imports is zealous care for American interests and American labor. The people have declared that such legislation should be had as will give ample protection and encouragement to the industries and the development of our country.
I am totally in favor of trade. But I want trade deals for our country that create more jobs and higher wages for American workers.
Globalization has delivered many benefits for international donors, but it's the job of politicians to represent the people - and to put American workers first.
But on the other hand, there are many corporations who have turned their backs on the American worker, who have said, if I can make another nickel in profit by going to China and shutting down in the United States of America, that's what I will do.
Unfortunately, the United States has entered into several free trade agreements that do not sufficiently protect and support our manufacturing industries and the millions of American workers they employ.
If the American working people were as I would like them to be, they would all be socialists and I would be President.
Unions continue to be important for raising the standard of living for working Americans, whether or not they happen to be in a union.
I reject the idea that any job is too hard or too dirty for American workers to do. American workers just expect and demand to be paid a decent wage.
There are 12 million illegal immigrants in this country - drawing welfare benefits, sending their children to public schools, and pushing down wages for American workers - but the problem extends well beyond amnesty and open borders.
I am all in favor of growing the American economy and engaging in trade with the world, but not at the expense of American workers. The North American Free Trade Agreement is a perfect example of this. Ask the textile workers of North Carolina how NAFTA worked out for them - if you can find any.
I want all of the blue collar American working class people to know that I'm out there fighting for them.
