Said Nancy Pelosi, quoted in "Nancy Pelosi Argues Red States Should Let Illegal Immigrants Stay to 'Pick the Crops'" (Yahoo News).

Now replace "crops" with "cotton".
Damn it Nancy, you of all people should that we should be picking our own damn crops!
Condescending, racist, insider grifter, ultra rich leftist says what?
what say you, Gadfly?
I wish you allowed graphics.
The one of somebody endlessly banging their head against the wall over this woman's stupidity and arrogance expresses more than a thousand words would.
So far, Crook Biden and his Soros peeps have let in over 2+ million illegal entrants.
That's a lot of crop pickers.
On behalf of California, I apologize to the nation for our choice of Senators.
From what I understand, she owns a winery. Maybe we should drop some off at her house.
Even after years of Dem open-border shenanigans, it still is striking, isn't it, that one of the most powerful politicians in the U.S. doesn't even pretend that the law needs to be enforced and illegals kicked out.
Quite presumptuous about illegal aliens and their skills/abilities. The Venezuelans transported the Martha's Vineyard likely weren't the poor and unskilled from Venezuela so transporting them to the NE where there are more opportunities likely was of great benefit to them. After, New York/Boston, if you can make it there, you can make it anywhere.
I would pay good money to never hear from or of that lush and her husband again. When she, Biden and the Squad are the most public faces of the Democratic Party it tells you that the Dems are dependent on the media and turncoats like Cheney to drive TDS and thus democratic votes. Could that party get any more disgusting?
So Pelosi wants little children and pregnant wives out in the bean fields?
Pelosi and Biden both have admitted that their immigration "policy" is about trafficking in human labor.
By doing so, of course, they reduce your wage power. Opening the borders to massive numbers of illegal immigrants depresses wages and in fact this is born out in the economic data. Real wages under Biden have fallen close to 10% in just 2 years.
The train workers union just averted a strike and the union accepted a 4% increase in wages - knowing full well that inflation is ticking above 8%. This is an actual wage REDUCTION that this union just agreed to. The union is literally screwing over its own members.
That's the Democrat Party philosophy: They wish to REDUCE your wealth and income. The effect of this is to impoverish Americans and to exacerbate the intractable problem of income inequality.
So vote for them if you want to. But you are just shooting your own family emmbers in the face so that these corrupt Democrats can provide workers for their corporate masters.
Nancy has her priorities all right. She needs illegals at grape harvesting time. All that about DACA kids going to college is a "maskirova" for the real situation. That's why the Hispanics are turning Republican. The blacks still don't get it,
The only ones fit enough to do stoop labor. Also, short and close to the ground!
Next generation goes fat and diabetic, applies for SSI.
Fred- Nancy is a House of congress - not Senate. But yes - all of the CA leftists (house and senate) are particularity miserable and momentously vile.
The leftists of San Fran Like crime, grift, and ultra leftwing feel good misery - that's why Nancy doesn't even need to compete.
The leftists San Fran would vote her in even is she were dead.
Is she out of her cotton-pickin' mind?
Isn't this called 'Saying the quiet part out loud'?
Sloppy use of quotation marks. Pelosi is attributing the statement to “some of the farmers and the growers.”
Labor arbitrage with diversity [dogma] (e.g. racism) enhancements. Nice... Ok.
Nancy was probably fine sending them from Martha's Vinyard to the toxic EPA superfund site at Otis Joint Base.

Look, there is no mystery why Pealosi gets reelected. Or why voters in California have to step over fecal matter to vote for Governor Ozzie Newsome. The voters were all products of the public school system. Logic escapes them. You can't reason with them. They respond with volume/violence not facts.

Somewhow, she gets elected. There are two choices; the elections are fixed, or her constituents like this stuff. Which is true and which would be worse?
Hunter Biden's tax payer funded Hooker: "what say you, Gadfly?"
If you think gadfly and Howard are going to let you get away with noticing the racist hypocrisy of their beloved New Soviet Grooming Democraticals, you've got another thing coming!

Cesar Chavez understood this over 50 years ago. That's why the United Farm Workers were strongly against illegal immigration.

There was a group of Black Supremacists that marched in Austin, Tx (I think) a few days ago. Most of their platform was reprehensible. But one thing they did note is that the flood of illegals has destroyed wages in the working class black communities.
Replying to "unknown" (I thought that was disallowed) at 10:45. The railway workers are not dumb enough to ratify a contract with no COLA provision. So no, not taking a pay cut.
And grapes are harvested mechanically these days.
Poor old Nancy--she must never have heard the song Cotton Fields covered by Harry Belafante, Elvis Presley, Johnny Cash, the Beach Boys and the Bay Area's own Creedence Clearwater Revival. Just can't make any money picking cotton when the cotton bolls are rotten--or in this case under about three feet of water (not that there's much cotton in Florida).
Nancy just never gets the memo. She's thought to be a fool, and when she opens her mouth it removes all doubt. Botox induced brain fade is a sad thing to see.
I once asked my late sister, a long time San Francisco resident, why San Francisco kept sending Nancy back to Congress. Her answer was that "Nancy is tough". Okay-Nancy may be tough, but she sure is dim.
Hey Nancy, we're sending them up North because you need them to wash dishes in restaurants
That IS, after all, why Martha's Vineyard is a "Sanctuary Island", because they've got illegals working cheaply in restaurants, and as gardeners and other kind of workers where the rich people dont' want to pay minimum wage, and pay for following all the laws you have to follow when you empty Americans
But it's nice of her to admit that the purpose of letting in illegals is so Americans can be screwed out of jobs
The total lack of understanding....the explicit racism.....I'm just speechless. How could she have ever been elected her party's speaker with words like this coming out of her mouth!
How racist! Illegals do a LOT more than pick crops.
There is lawn care as just one example. Right Nancy, you bigot you?

She just can't help herself can she? I keep thinking of an interview she had with Blitzer about 2 years ago. Blitzer asked her about something about how the common man was going to sustain himself during the covid times (can't remember exactly). Her response was vague, but when he pressed her on it she got angry and it slipped out. "We feed them Wolf. WE feed them."
It was as clear as a bell the way she said it. Complete reliance on government handouts. It's become obvious by now, but the Dem plan is to make the American people completely reliant on the government. Hand in hand with her pick the crops statement. The Dems want complete control of every aspect of your life. Displacing American labor and putting more money in their own powerful pockets. No soup for you.

Sleep well tonight!
This remark will disappear in 5-4-3...
I had to look far to find former Italian PM Matteo Renzi's comment to CNN that Giorgia Meloni's government brought no threat of fascism to Italy. You can't find it on CNN, only on tweets from libertarians.

Democrats are bringing out the racial preferences this weekend. First Harris says FEMA will prioritize emergency hurricane aid based on skin color. Now Nancy wants illegal immigrants to pick crops. Maybe Nancy wants a flight of immigrants to Napa Valley to pick grapes? It should be clear by now that immigrants are moved to places that have offered sanctuary, not offering indentured servitude.
It should also be noted that crops are harvested by machines in this country, at least while Democrats allow the rest of the country to have fuel for the machines.
Read the tea leaves: Pelosi has resigned herself to losing the house, and possibly not even running again. How old is she now?
Here is an irreverent graph (to some people) i came across at r/dataisbeautiful.
She's gonna need one of those injectable Biden cocktails, delivered in the rump, if they can find it.
"...especially the kids!"
Let me be the 39th to pounce on the “if a Republican had said that” bandwagon.
But really. Nobody hires Venezuelans to pick their crops. Come on!
Southwest US has had a cross-border, successful crop-picking business model for decades. Pelosi, among all of her qualities, is ignorant. Why does she hate Mexican laborers?
We all note the LACK OF LEFTIST comments.
Just another democrat pining for the days of slavery.
Where is "down here?". Does Nancy have a garden in the backyard of her mansion?
She is clearly drunk in that clip.
And this is why whenever some Leftist and/or Democrat dweeb (there's one that comments regularly on Arnold Kling's SubStack) starts going on about how we need to welcome more migrants because they will enrich our country, most of us just roll our eyes at him.

And if Putin gets a sub to launch a nuke to D.C. in 3 min... that order of succession becomes moot.

These illegals come here for 'free stuff'. There is more 'free stuff' in Democrat ran cities than in Republican ran cities. Keep shipping them up north and to the west.
Doesn't Nancy need them to keep that $20,000 fridge spotless?
"He don't plant tater
He don't plant cotton
An' them that plants 'em is soon forgotten
But ol'man river he just keeps rollin' along."
Keep your cotton picking hands off our migrants.......
Liberals are constantly projecting their own insane, vile racism and bigotry on normal people.
The Bracero program.
Isn't this called 'Saying the quiet part out loud'?. Nah, Nancy thinks this is the smart part (i.e. “doing the jobs that Americans won’t”_. The quiet part is they need them shipped to States and Counties were their future votes will matter to Democrats.
