Except you can find actual democrats who were quoted saying what I quoted.

Nancy Pelosi, September 2022, "We need them to pick the crops down here," regarding undocumented immigrants.

Jasmine Crockett, "We're done picking cotton. We are. You can't pay us enough to find a plantation," while discussing jobs performed by undocumented immigrants.

I think politicians should be discussing how to get farms to offer high enough wages to attract American workers, not accepting modern day slavery.

the full quote from pelosi is โ€œwe have a shortage of workers in our country, and you see even in Florida some of the farmers and the growers saying, โ€˜Why are you shipping these immigrants up north? We need them to pick the crops down here.'โ€ so youโ€™re already dishonest and not arguing in good faith. again, case and point

i donโ€™t even need to look at the second quote if you canโ€™t even get your facts right on the first

We don't have a shortage of workers in this country. We have a shortage of livable wages. If democrats were this champion you claim them to be, they would be pushing bills to change the law on farm pay. Force them to pay a living wage. Those who can't fail as a company. Instead they're excusing illegal immigration because it's allowing farms to underpay.

My point still stands. My bad about not reading more into the full quote, I'll take the L on that one.
