"An American worker should not expect his pay to be cut because somebody comes to this country illegally and is willing to work for less than he or she should be paid"

If American workers are being denied their right to organize and collectively bargain when I'm in the White House, I'll put on a comfortable pair of shoes myself. I'll walk on that picket line with you as President of the United States of America, because workers deserve to know that somebody is standing in their corner.
