Tea Party Express Chairman Sal Russo defended his support of comprehensive immigration reform and cited a Michael Bloomberg-funded group to support his position on Laura Ingraham’s radio show on Thursday. Russo also expressed his support for an agricultural guest worker program, while suggesting that the United States had a massive labor shortage that it needed a new influx of immigrants to fill.

Despite this, Russo claims that he is on-board with anti-amnesty Sen. Jeff Sessions (R-AL), a claim Ingraham strongly disputed.
