Yesterday, Democratic strategist Jenna Arnold warned that illegal immigrants are needed in America for tasks such as “picking strawberries.”
She said this on CNN’s “NewsNight with Abby Phillip,” as part of a panel which spoke about the Trump administration’s crackdowns. “I can’t wait until American women can’t get blueberries for their smoothies,” she said.
“I cannot wait until there is a full crackdown on all small businesses, as if that’s going to be the solution to the immigration problem,” she claimed. “It is just going to put immigration-related issues further into the darker corners. We‘re not going to see them. It‘s just going to become even harder to solve the problem. It doesn‘t make sense to punish individuals and people when there is a broken system.” on illegal immigrants across the US.
It was reported by the New York Post and other normal and fair media sources, but not in any liberal outlet.
“If you are trying to actively hire illegal immigrants, if you think that‘s best, if you are trying to game the system, if you are trying to help someone break U.S. federal immigration law, I think if we‘re going to have a true crackdown on illegal immigration in this country, it has to involve everybody who‘s participating in it,” Scott Jennings said. He added that “employers and anyone else who is part of this pipeline, I think they ought to be put on notice. And you got to play by the rules. Everybody has to play by the rules.”
The debate continued among the panelists but Ms Arnold dug in her heels and expanded on her position.
“Picking strawberries,” Democratic strategist Jenna Arnold interjected.
And Abby Phillip allowed this to slide. But if a Consevative or Republican said these racist comments, the New York Times or the Washington Post would have had a massive banner headline screaming across their papers.
Perhaps, it is time to call out Democrat Racism when we hear it.
