On Meet the Press Sunday, CNBC host Jim Cramer said that those pushing amnesty for tens of millions of illegal aliens simply don't care about American workers. Cramer stunned the political establishment by saying out loud what the elites and their donors want to censor -- that amnesty would destroy our workers and hurt our economy.

Cramer, a lifelong Democrat, was responding to Obama economic adviser Gene Sperling's assertion that "immigration reform" would fix the nation's job problems, hitting the Democrat party in particular, but making a much larger point.
"David, don't you find it interesting that the dogma is now post-Clinton, pro-immigration at a time when we have a much larger supply of labor than we need, and pro free trade,"Cramer said on Meet The Press to host David Gregory. "Even though we are supposed to be greenhouse gas-oriented, we know where those jobs go. Those jobs leave this country to countries that can pollute all they want. I’ve always wanted to know why the Democrats didn’t say, 'You know what, we need the defense against the countries that take our jobs and pollute all over.'"
"But we don't care about that. What we care about is when workers come to this country from other countries they get jobs. Why don't we care more about our people?" asked Cramer.
Gregory, who has been criticized for being a mouthpiece for Washington's permanent political class, immediately changed the subject to discuss the stock market.

Yeah, I agree with you. Same here...
Thanks montag813.
Cramer might be a lifelong Democrat, but he’s old school.
Old school dems used to care about the country - not just about dem victim groups.
I’m old enough to remember that time.
Thanks Jim Cramer - you’re a good man no matter what party you’re in...
As soon as Cramer asked why we're not defending American jobs, the little twit who does "Meet the liberal elites of NBC" said, 'it's time to move on'...
Our GOP elites and their liberal elites don't mind screwing over Americans because the elites of both parties get big donations to sell out American citizens..

Cramer’s brain is caught between a rock and a hard place showing the tortured thinking the “typical” Democrat must go through. He is first and foremost a capitalist (and very successful one). He is finding out that capitalism and the Democrat Party cannot co-exist. One must exclude the other. He is also somewhat patriotic on occasion. One cannot be a patriot and be also be a Democrat. Again, the two are mutually exclusive.
The shock value comes when a Democrat actually permits a few brain cells to formulate a rational thought. The rational thought is always a heresy among Democrats because it is a conservative thought.
People like Cramer are extremely dangerous. They spout good ole fashioned American values one thinking minute and then pure unthinking progressive “thought” the next.
You have a point - but I believe Cramer’s strong sense of justice will trump the foolishness of his ‘progressive’ ideas. The guy’s not a fool.
