Wow.
So nobody in congress ever promotes demonization of migrants willing to do work they don't want to do?
People in congress don't do farm work? NO WAY! NOW YOU TELL ME!
The GOP constantly vilifies migrants, the same people who do that farm work, kitchen work. And look who they have as their leader.
Of course CONGRESS isn't supposed to do field or kitchen work. But they are not supposed to shit on those who do. And right now the GOP is doing just that.
I wasn't aware that Congress vilified migrants. I'm aware that some in Congress don't think well of immigrants, but that's a different thing entirely.
If you're aware that people in congress aren't supposed to harvest strawberries, then you should understand why that woman's comment was stupid.
As I kid, I was delighted when Da hired migrant workers. Nice people, and they took some of the load off.
