Former
Sen. Rick Santorum of Pennsylvania says that even his father, who was
stuck for some time in Benito Mussolini's Italy, wasn't upset with
America for his situation.
"I'm
the son of an immigrant, I believe in immigration, but my dad spent
seven years in fascist Italy under Mussolini because my grandfather
couldn't bring him into this
country until he became a citizen and when he did, he brought him
over," Mr. Santorum, a 2016 GOP presidential candidate, said this week
on Fox News' "The Kelly File."
"I
said, 'Were you ever upset with America because they separated you from
your dad for seven years?' " he said. "He said, 'No — America was worth
the wait.' And so I
look at it as someone who's said you know what? America is worth the
wait — it's worth doing it the right way."
In
his announcement speech on Wednesday, Mr. Santorum said that over the
last 20 years, "we've brought into this country, legally and illegally,
35 million mostly unskilled
workers. And the result over that same time, workers' wages and family
incomes have flatlined."
"Hillary
Clinton and big business, they have called for a massive influx in
unskilled labor," he said Wednesday. "Business does it because they want
to control costs.
Hillary does it, well, she just wants votes. Their priorities are
profits and power. My priority is you, the American worker."
In
the Fox appearance, Mr. Santorum called for enforcing the laws,
installing a national E-Verify system and securing the border.
"Look,
ISIS is talking about bringing a nuclear weapon, they believe they can
smuggle it through our southern border — we need to have a much more
secure border not just
for immigrants who want to come here illegally, but for other people
who want to do other things that are very dangerous to this country," he
said.
