    Is this a racist statement? Can you believe that Mitch McConnell said that?

    Joe is joking, I think.
    It was Pelosi that said it.

    For the last 20 years I have employed a Mexican family that does my lawn and landscaping/gardening.
    Does that make me racist?

    Here is Nancy. It is extremely racist. "Why are you shipping 'these immigrants' up North, we need them to pick crops down here."
    It is quite clear that she is exploiting these pitiful displaced aliens, and only view them as cheap labor. Despicable. She regards them like we might regard mules to pull plows to plant our crops. Mules. Y'all are all hypocrites, to say the least. When democrats show you their true colors, believe them. She is stereotyping migrants as farm workers. What? There is no doctor or hotel manager in the crowd? Just farm workers....or, we need to MAKE them farmworkers. C'mon Nancy, finish what you are trying to say.

    In reality, none of these people are picking anything, they just go straight to welfare/free medical/free everything else status.
    Why would they pick grapes?

    No. it just makes you a liar. You loons keep telling us that mexicans are lazy and are coming to the us to leech american social programs.

    Contrare', no Mexican I have ever seen is lazy. The people whose jobs they have filled over the years were extremely lazy. I predict that the children of the present hard-working Mexicans will, however, be lazy, as they learn he ins and outs of gaming the system. The people they replaced have become all kinds of things, good and bad, even murderers, and I fear that those are the ones that will ruin the children of today's Mexicans.

    Unfortunately, like socialism, the word racist has never been defined, so we are just winging it here. Racism to you may be different than racism to me. For Nancy to speak condescendingly about these pitiful brown people in such a way, like they are throwaway-humans, ....that is racist to me. Next she will suggest building Auschwitz-like barracks to house them. Like some farmers have chicken coops. We need chickens for eggs, don't you see.

    Yes, we actually DO need migrants to pick crops. This has been happening for 100+ years in places like Maine and Florida during harvest seasons. If you've ever spoken to a farmer, there's an understandable need for seasonal jobs that can't be plucked from the people who already live there.

    We do NOT need undocumented migrants to pick crops. Let's not conflate the two. It doesn't sound like Nancy is talking about that.

    The need for immigration reform centers on this issue. Because there are not enough documented workers, farmers rely on undocumented labor to fill 50% of their job openings. If Ron really cared about ridding his state of undocumented immigrants, he could start by enforcing laws at the farms in his own state.
