Rep. Jerry Nadler (D.Y.) on Thursday made a racist argument justifying mass immigration to the United States.
During the House Judiciary Subcommittee on Immigration Integrity, Security, and Enforcement hearingNadler used his opening remarks to criticize Republicans (claiming that Democrats are the only ones interested in solving the border and immigration crisis) and make the case for why the United States needs more immigrants.
According to Nadler, why do Americans “need” more immigrants? So they can harvest crops.
“This country needs immigrants,” he said. “Forget the fact that if the farms are not harvested by many immigrants, many illegal immigrants, the vegetables will rot in the ground!”
Nadler also said that the United States not only needs immigrants to pick vegetables, but also wants immigrants to replenish the American population.
“The country's birth rate is well below replacement level, which means the population will begin to decline and the proportion of people receiving Social Security and Medicare will increase relative to the number of people supporting them. Probably.'' . “This is a problem that every major country in the world faces, but very few have the means to solve this problem through migration.
“People want to immigrate to the United States, but they don't want to immigrate to China or Russia. We're very fortunate in that respect and we should encourage that,” he added.
Nadler's claims that America needs immigrants to work on farms, increase the nation's birth rate, and solve the problems of failing Social Security and Medicare are all inhuman because they reduce immigrants to their own bodies. It's on point.
Indeed, immigrants often accept employment in agriculture, trade, and services. But it is inhumane to assume that just because someone is an immigrant, they will work in such an industry.It is also inhumane to only think about what immigrants can do. do Instead of seeing them as human beings, for America.
It goes without saying, but it seems like this has to be said. Immigrants, like other people, can benefit society beyond their ability to harvest crops, have more children, or pay for social safety net systems.
On the other hand, the Republican Party want Strengthen border security, crack down on illegal immigration, and improve mechanisms for legal immigration.
