CNN Host doesn't want to get rid of illegal immigration because there will be nobody to 'pick your crops.'

11:12 AM · Oct 18, 2024 //

JENNINGS: He's going to crack down on immigration to the benefit of the American worker.

RAMPELL: He's going to deport 20 million people? The people who pick your crops? The people who process your meat? The people who, you know, care for your grandmother? The people who serve all sorts of critical functions in this country?

My word, talk about not hiding the ball. Apparently, illegal immigrants are the only people in the country who can pick crops, process meat, and take care of old people. Who knew? Never mind that there are already work programs in place that allow seasonal workers to come in and "pick the crops."

So what's Rampell really saying? She's saying that it's more important to have illegal quasi-slave labor to ensure her standard of living than for the nation's laws to be followed. That seems rather exploitative of the CNN panelist, doesn't it? Democrats sure love to talk about fair wages until it comes to illegal immigrants working for minimum wage to save a few cents on fruit.

Could you imagine NBC News in 1863 after Abraham Lincoln gave the Emancipation Proclamation? "Lincoln's plan to end slavery for the first time in history would jeopardize an agriculture industry already facing shortages and push costs higher." That is literally the argument these news outlets are making about illegal immigration. They don't even try to pretend anymore. They want their cheap labor, and they don't care about what they have to do to get it.
