House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said on Friday that Republican governors should welcome the influx of migrants coming across the southern border because they can “pick the crops,” in their states.
“We have a shortage of workers in our country, and you see even in Florida, some of the farmers and the growers are saying, ‘Why are you shipping these immigrants up north? We need them to pick the crops down here,'” she said at a press briefing.
Pelosi also accused Republicans of hypocrisy on the issue, conflating their past support for legal immigration with an endorsement of illegal immigration.
“Our nation is great because we are a nation of immigrants — but don’t take it from me, listen to Ronald Reagan. When I quote Ronald Reagan to my Republican colleagues, he doesn’t get any applause. Can you imagine that?” she asked.

Form I-9 MUST be filled out completely in order to even be considered for a job.

Nanzi also suggests that they could shine your shoes, too.
I’m damn surprised to see Yahoo run this.
Nancy is originally from Baltimore. That’s south of the Mason-Dixon Line. Despite all the years in California, she just can’t rid herself of her southern Democrat roots.
If they say things like this in public can you imagine what they say in private conversations?
Mighty white of her . . .
Maybe it's just one of many reasons why this country went off the rails.
That said, sounds like Master/Oligarch Nancy supports slavery...the person worth $200M needs "those people" to clean her house and pick her grapes at her vineyards...
...the 'effing hypocrite.
I'd agree but think it needs to go the other way. Send Nancy Pelosi to South America and have her pick fruit and vegetables down there. Good for the gander, good for the goose.
Nanny, Nanny, Nanny.
In those big cities they can ‘pick up trash’ and fill potholes and wash toilets and park cars, and on and on.
Why do you want to prohibit them from those tasks and force them to stay ‘down South’?
There have been 30 million abortions and now there’s a labor shortage. DUH.
The minuscule number being shipped to various cities pales in comparison to the number illegally crossing the border EVERY DAY.
What is the latest estimate? Around 2 million illegals have crossed the border just since Biden has been president.
When the Green New Deal bans diesel powered farm machinery and fertilizers there might be a need for more serfs to plant and harvest the meager crops like Medieval peasants did for their feudal lords.
I am sure the seasonal workers who rely on this work every year are pleased to hear that.
LOL!
When did Nanc get a plantation?
When I quote Ronald Reagan to my Republican colleagues, he doesn’t get any applause.
