Congressional Commentary on Immigration Concerns
A recently resurfaced video seems to feature Democrat Yvette Clark from New York, who suggests that the rising number of immigrants in her district has sparked online outrage, possibly “just for constituency purposes.”
In footage from a 2021 House Foreign Affairs Committee briefing, Clark, a veteran in politics, indicates that the local Haitian community in Brooklyn could “handle a significant number of these immigrants.” She mentioned, “I say the doors to the lodging where my colleagues are closed, there are no inn rooms, and I say there are more people in my district, and that members can fit clearly here.”
Political commentator Kyle Becker shared his thoughts on X, stating, “Rep. Yvette Clark highlighted the quiet side. Democrats are as anti-American as it gets.”
Becker went on to express frustration, saying, “It’s insane that American citizens are making bills for foreigners to come here and utilize our social services, education, and infrastructure at our expense. Because anti-American Democrats want some extra seats in Congress. That’s enough!”
The account “End Wokeness” chimed in, declaring, “This is how you hijack democracy,” while conservative influencer David Freeman remarked on Clark’s comments, saying, “Dem was yelling out the quiet parts for years,” and suggested that this contributes to millions of people being imported, aiming for a unified country.
In light of Clark’s remarks, the demand for Congress to pass a bill known as “Save” has emerged. This bill, introduced by R-Texas Rep. Chip Roy, mandates individuals to provide proof of U.S. citizenship when registering for federal elections. It also requires states to remove non-citizens from voter lists and imposes penalties for those who register without providing citizenship proof.
The bill has gained traction, passing the House but still awaiting action from the Senate. Meanwhile, New York City has faced backlash for its previous attempts to allow non-citizens to vote in local elections. Earlier this year, the state’s highest court blocked a law allowing nearly one million non-citizens to participate in elections, including mayoral and city council votes.
Fox News Digital sought comments from Clark’s office, but there was no immediate response.
