Dem Rep. Robert Garcia: Thinking of Immigration as a Security Issue Means We Can’t See It as Economic Necessity
Breitbart ^ | 04/06/2024 | Ian hatchett

Posted on 04/06/2024 2:00:55 PM PDT by ChicagoConservative27

On Friday’s broadcast of MSNBC’s “The Last Word,” Rep. Robert Garcia (D-CA) said that because we’ve lumped immigration in with border security, we can’t think of immigration as an economic necessity because it’s viewed as a security issue.

Host Ali Velshi said, “Congressman, I’m always — I’m concerned about, in this country, we have, accidentally or otherwise, decided to treat immigration as a security threat, as opposed to an economic matter. We’ve done this — immigration falls under the Department of Homeland Security, which I’ve always thought, I understand why it was done after 9/11, but it feels like it was actually a mistake. Most other countries think of immigration as an economic imperative, and they think about security at their borders as a separate matter. We’ve lumped the two together, and now it becomes impossible for Americans to think about it as an economic imperative that it is, because we think about it as a security matter.”

If you want to discuss the economic impact of immigration, perhaps you should separate legal from illegal immigration.

Illegal immigration is a crime, Mr. Garcia.

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>..
Typical statement of the typical lunatic Democrat. Complete nonsense. For starters, at issue is the invasion of lawless illegal aliens who should be apprehended the moment they cross the border and immediately airdropped back into their country of origin. And any who engage in aggressive physical behavior should be shot on sight! And finally this thug Representative should be investigated and locked up pending trail if evidence indicates he has committed any felonies in this country.

That’s right Ali, if you belonged here you would say, “in OUR country.”

If it’s necessary that all 3 million new jobs be filled by immigrants, while the native born lost 1.5 million jobs.

The security threat is that we have gotten away from the American Form Of Government that relied on laws passed by elected officials in the Legislative Branch and then signed into law by the President. Now our government is made up of Executive Orders and bureaucratic regulations.

We might have been better off with Caligula's horse; at least involved the whole horse, not just the part that goes over the fence last.
