Karen Bass: We Need Our Slave Labor!

The Democrats have settled on a few talking points when defending illegal aliens from deportation. 

Once you get past the “illegal immigration isn’t illegal” and the handwaving about the cruelty of enforcing the law, the most consistent talking point is that their economies depend on slave labor. 

“Without slaves, who will pick the cotton?” has turned into “without illegal immigrants, who will wipe our asses and clean up after a Hunter Biden party in a hotel room?”

So Los Angeles is economy is built on a slave class? https://t.co/s1pMNdtmgV

Democrats are fond of taking away Americans’ jobs and shouting, “Learn to code.” A corollary to that is “we need our nannies and gardeners to do work for substandard wages.”

Hunter made that point in his f-bomb-laden interview, in which he literally and unself-consciously brought up maids cleaning up after his drug-fueled sex romps with–likely trafficked–prostitutes. But Gavin Newsom made the point defending unaccompanied migrant children working alongside sex offenders to tend to pot plants.

Newsom was furious at Trump for saving these children from working alongside sexual predators because his donor needed their labor to grow weed, and Abby Phillips on CNN  calmly explained that children can legally be used as farm labor under some circumstances. 

@abbydphillip So youre telling us that you are ok, if it was a bunch of black kids working in the field? That is what you are advocating for. I think it is wrong in both sense. But seems a bit racist once you flip the race to you? If so that makes you a racist for sure.

Is it any wonder that Joe Biden’s administration ushered in hundreds of thousands of unaccompanied minors, shipped them off to unvetted caretakers, and actually ignored 65,000 reports of child abuse phoned into a migrant protection hotline? They conveniently “lost touch” with 300,000 of them. 

Without illegal labor, who will grow the pot and feed the human trafficking industry?

This is who Gavin Newskum wants to protect.

The unaccompanied minors were working on a farm with these people.

Given the charges this raises some questions. pic.twitter.com/FKrgGBuJFx

You might think that these arguments are, at best, tone deaf, but Democrats eat up these arguments. They actually believe that they are slam dunks with ordinary people. They sure work with everyone around them.

Liberals always try to hide behind children, but they are perfectly fine with child sacrifice when it serves their desires. We have to give more money to the teachers’ unions because they need it to propagandize to children. They need a steady income for their crazy doctors, so they turn children into medical experiments and lifelong patients. They need a way to get transgender men into female spaces, so they recruit children to escort them as human shields. 

HOLY SHLIT. The Biden administration set up a hotline for unaccompanied migrant children to report safety issues with sponsors.

65,000 calls went UNANSWERED.

Only ONE person was reportedly assigned to take the calls. pic.twitter.com/QzJ0d0MCjl

And they need a class of virtual slaves to make their lives comfortable, so they import illegal aliens–including children–to grow their drugs for them and “wipe their asses” when they get old. 

And they think they are virtuous for doing all this. 

Remember when Martha Raddatz tried to “gotcha” J.D. Vance by saying Tren de Aragua had “only” taken over three large apartment complexes and so it was not a big deal? “Martha, do you hear yourself?” https://t.co/2Bu53dXh8R

To add insult to injury, huge numbers of the Biden “refugees” aren’t even working. They are being housed, fed, and coddled by these same liberals. 

In October, ABC’s Martha Raddatz downplayed illegal alien Venezuelan gangs in an interview with JD Vance.

This week, we found out Tren de Aragua turned a Colorado apartment complex into a torture hub.

Vance was right and Raddatz should correct the record! pic.twitter.com/FcQvZO8AoB

As I wrote earlier, we live in two different worlds. One in which a comfortable class of people are willing to exploit people and ruin the lives of others to maintain their lifestyle. 

And the rest of us live in the world they create. 

• Editor’s Note: Thanks to President Trump, illegal immigration into our great country has virtually stopped. Despite the radical left’s lies, new legislation wasn’t needed to secure our border, just a new president.
