Democrats Talk About Illegal Aliens The Same Way They Used To Talk About Slaves

Who will pick our cotton?

Democrats Talk About Illegal Immigrants The Same Way They Used To Talk About Slaves
By: Evita Duffy-Alfonso, The Federalist, January 14, 2024:

“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.

Now, illegal immigration isn’t just a problem for border states but the entire nation. Massive influxes of aliens are now invading places like New York City and Chicago, putting massive strain on city resources. Meanwhile, the fentanyl crisis created by the open southern border is taking countless American lives in all corners of the country — both urban and rural.

This week, citizens were given some hope after the Texas Military Department took over a 2.5-mile long stretch along the Rio Grande River, supposedly to stop illegal immigration in the high-traffic crossing area and keep out federal border officials who “perpetuate illegal immigrant crossings in the park and greater Eagle Pass area.”

However, as my colleague Jordan Boyd explained, the move appears to be nothing more than political theater. “Yet despite the addition of personnel, barriers, gates, concertina wire, and military Humvees’ to the area,” Boyd wrote, Texas Gov. “Abbott has not authorized the Texas National Guard to detain and deport illegal immigrants, who are still being turned over to Border Patrol for processing and, in most cases, release.”

“So, while the move prompted an outcry from the Biden administration and federal border officials who say the state’s interference prevents them from doing their jobs,” she added, “Abbott’s move won’t fundamentally change the dynamic at the border.”

That’s the other thing. Given that the native birth replacement rate is unsustainably low, and with abortion as one factor in why, the sad fact is illegals are pretty much a REPLACEMENT for whites in this country. But yeah, where have we heard before what Nadler has been spewing today, indeed?

When Cesar Chavez was unionizing American farm laborers, he convinced the Congress to end an old program which allowed Mexican laborers to legally come into America long enough to help harvest crops and then return to their homes in Mexico.

What did it take the Dems 4 tears to admit the truth, one that Trump fans saw on day 1. NAdler is a RACIST, EXPLOITER – as were alll the DEM SCLAVE DRIVERS in the USA in the 1800’2 … that is until a certain Abe Lincoln, a REPUBLICAN, fought a Civil War to eliminate this system, paying with his life. Was John Wilkes Booth a DEMOKRAT? Ummmmmmm MAGA MAGA …

The answer is really quite simple ….
Go back to a ‘reasonable’ minimum wage.
Go back to a “Minimum wage job” paying minimum wage.
Shoot anyone trying to invade our Republic.
Shoot anyone who assists anyone trying to invade our Republic.

Get rid of “entitlements” …. No Social Security is NOT and “entitlement” and should not be doled out as if it were ….. it is an insurance insurance that I have been paying on for the last 62 years …..

NO minimum wage. Why would anyone work for a “company” that does not pay a fair wage for a fair days work? Go down the street and work for someone else. The other guy will not stay in business for long.
