Rep. Ann Kirkpatrick, D-Ariz., has introduced legislation to give illegal immigrants who came to the U.S. as youths and are exempt from deportation the ability to work on Capitol Hill.

The legislation, titled The American Dream Employment Act, would change the law preventing the House and Senate from employing anyone who is neither a U.S. citizen or a lawful permanent resident seeking naturalization.
...
"Telling these young people they cannot work in the seat of our government is like telling them they deserve something less than the American dream. That's the wrong message to send — especially from an institution like Congress that could really benefit from their unique abilities and perspectives," Kirkpatrick, who is running for Senate as a challenger to Republican Sen. John McCain in Arizona, said in a statement.
...
Kirkpatrick's bill has 24 original cosponsors.

Perhaps next they can outsource Congress to a call center in the Philippines?

There are no work-eligible people living in Washington, DC?

Ironically I might be in favor of this, maybe when their jobs start getting threatened and they actually have to start living and working among these people they claim to love so much, these politicians will finally close the border.

What are they trying to make sure Ted Cruz can continue to work there?
