  • “As your Senator, I will be a champion for Texan workers. It’s been a long time since we raised the minimum wage in this country. Too long. As your Senator, I will introduce legislation to raise the minimum wage for the first time since 2007. American workers deserve a raise, and I will give it to you!

    “However, just raising the minimum wage is not enough. Maria Hernandez might think it’s enough, but it’s not. We have to protect American workers who are being squeezed out of the job market by illegal immigration. Greedy corporations are hiring illegal immigrants under the table at low wages, forcing American workers to settle for less. As your Senator, I will introduce legislation to require all employers to participate in the e-verify system – just like I did in the state legislature. 

    “My opponent says this policy is divisive. She says I’m trying to scare people. That’s nonsense. All I want to do is make sure that greedy corporations obey the law. You see, the opponents of e-verify don’t have your interests at heart. Maria’s donors in Hollywood and Manhattan benefit from not having e-verify. They benefit from exploiting cheap labor. But you don’t benefit. Instead, you end up getting paid less than you should.

    “These two policies together – a minimum wage increase and e-verify – will lead to the largest increase in wages for American workers in modern history. No longer will American workers be easily replaceable. No longer will employers be able to threaten their workers with the prospect of an undocumented worker taking their place. From now on, the workers will be in control.”
