RIGHT SPEAK: Democrats Talk About Illegal Immigrants The Same Way They Used To Talk About Slaves'; Democratic Rep. Jerry Nadler Says We Need 'many illegal immigrants' in the Country to Pick Vegetables

Democrats Talk About Illegal Immigrants The Same Way They Used To Talk About Slaves:

“We need immigrants in this country,” Democratic Rep. Jerrold Nadler said Thursday during a House Judiciary Subcommittee on Immigration Integrity, Security, and Enforcement hearing. “Our vegetables would rot in the ground if they weren’t being picked by many immigrants — many illegal immigrants.”

“The fact is, the birth rate in this country is way below replacement level,” he continued. Nadler is adamantly anti-life, and given that abortion is responsible for the deaths of millions of unborn American children, it’s unlikely that he’s sincerely concerned about the United States’ replacement rates.

Nadler’s remarks recall the Democratic party’s past reasoning for supporting slavery. Federalist Senior Editor Mark Hemingway pointed out that Democrats in 1823 were backing slavery because if there were no slaves, “Who would pick our cotton?” Today, Democrats are making the argument that low-wage working illegal migrants are necessary to pick “our vegetables.”

Another striking comparison is the Democrats’ past support of slave traders and their current aiding of human trafficking at the southern border. As Federalist CEO Sean Davis explained, “Before the Civil War, Democrats bought their slaves from human traffickers who kidnapped them and then shipped them across the Atlantic. In 2023, they use cartels to smuggle illegal immigrants across a border Democrats refuse to close.”

Indeed, human trafficking at our southern border is now a multi-billion dollar business, and Democrats have no plan to stop the abuse. In December alone, over 300,000 illegal immigrants crossed into the United States. --->READ MORE HERE

Democratic Rep. Jerry Nadler says we need 'many illegal immigrants' in the country to pick vegetables:

Rep. Jerry Nadler on Thursday argued the U.S. needs "many illegal immigrants" in the country to pick vegetables and keep them from rotting.

The New York Democrat made the remark during a House Judiciary Subcommittee on Immigration Integrity, Security, and Enforcement hearing about the "Impact of Illegal Immigration on Social Services."

"We need immigrants in this country," Nadler said. "Forget the fact that our vegetables would rot in the ground if they weren't being picked by many immigrants — many illegal immigrants.

"The fact is the birth rate in this country is way below replacement level, which means our population is going to start shrinking," he added. "And the ratio of people on Social Security and Medicare is going to increase relative to the number of people supporting them."

Nadler's comments drew the attention of social media users.

"Yes, all the millions of illegals from 150+ countries spanning the globe are going to Chicago, Atlanta, Dallas, New York, etc. to work in the fields," Stephen Miller, who served as a senior adviser to former President Trump, said on X.
