Rep. Tom Malinowski, D-N.J., defended the presence of both legal and illegal immigrants on Tuesday, asking his constituents: "Who do you think is mowing our beautiful lawns?" 
  
"There are a lot of jobs in our community, that like it or not, for better or for worse, Americans are not willing to take, Malinowski said in a video obtained by the Washington Examiner. 
  
Malinowski, the freshman Democrat who is now running for reelection in New Jersey's seventh district, began citing statics showing the major role migrants play in the workforce.

    More disturbing is the dem goal of replacing US voters with "immigrants." But "We need more illegals to mow our beautiful lawns but not living in my neighborhood" would make a good slogan for 2020.

    I'm mowing my own.
 That will probably be illegal soon.

  Yeah, that sounds familiar.

    Mowing our lawns should be a job for congress critters, since that’s really the only job that they are really qualified to do.
How long do we have to read these dumb*ss comments uttered by folks who really do not qualify for even a high school degree?

    I remember when a lot of kids made pocket money mowing lawns for both family and neighbors, I know I did. And up until I was disabled I still did all my own yard work.

    Those who can, do.
Those who can’t, teach.
Those who can’t teach, become politicians.

    Have we suddenly run out of teenage boys? Why don’t the Dems in swanky zip codes employ the poor kids living on the other side of their Gated Community?
I mean, with the ‘Rats it’s ALWAYS, ‘For The Children!’
*SPIT*

    I’m quite sure a LOT of Americans would take the jobs.
Who started this $#$#ing nonsense about not wanting to take jobs?
Although, come to think of it, it’s getting harder and harder to find kids with shovels knocking on doors when it snows the past 3 or 4 years.
Maybe parents need to bundle them up, hand them a shovel and say “come back when you have 100 bucks in your hands” :)
Hell, I pay 30 just for mine to be done.

    Leland Vitter socks. He is very anti Trump.
Listen to his questions.
And John Roberts too in the previous interview. Watch his finger keep pointing at Trump’s economic advisor.
Fox is getting worse.
 
To: ding_dong_daddy_from_dumas
    Such a myth. Americans do want and need the jobs and deserve them more. It is Democrats and globalist RINOs who demand slave labor with little legal footing, illegal votes and Americans slothful and unpatriotic.

    There are a lot of jobs in our community, that like it or not, for better or for worse, Americans are not willing to take,
 
 I've always owned my own lawn. My yard is mostly rocks right now, but if I ever feel like hiring someone to do yard worj/landscaping as I get older, I will hirer an American or at least a green card holder, despite being in Illegal Alien central (Phoenix). I was solicited for hire at the local QT by a young American black man (not Caribbean, from what I can tell, so probably very much an American citizen), and I would have been happy to hire him if I didn't do my own. Decades ago, I had a job mowing the cemetary lawn for a while, at minimum wage. I hate mowing lawns, but I'll do it when needed. 
 
 In some parts of the country, there might be jobs that "Americans are not willing to take" ... for what the hirer feels like paying.

    Most of the globalist Free Traitor Freepers would agree. Right Bert?
