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.

How about Nancy get out there and lead by example?
“Nanc” is one of the Dems Plantation Owners
Amazing. This F**ing moron just did a deal with the farm workers union, and then says publicly that illegal aliens ought to take those union jobs away.
Hey, union reps. Can you read english? Are you paying any attention a’tall to anything but the bags of cash?
Time to put Nancy in the day room, give her Xanax and let her watch “Matlock’’ reruns.
The woman is tone deaf.
Send them to America Samoa. Her husband can have them work in his sweat shop.
Pelosi thinks the people coming across our border are mestizos who want to pick vegetables. She must be retired in November.
They might get run over by Pauli P.
They already are.
Nancy. It is against the law for Illegals to work without work papers.
She talked to a farmer? Has he recovered yet?
She’s the one conflating illegal immigration with legal immigration. Typical.
We have 50 million people on welfare, in other words they're being paid to sit home and NOT work. We have zero need to import workers when we're paying our own deadbeats not to work.
Yessah massah... those darkies can stay put in the fields.
Open up another bottle of Merlot Nancy, you besotted old bitch.
Of course the fake news have the old hag a free pass on such a racist rant while they go all accusing Trump for saying Cico Chou.
What did you expect from her?
When I was in elementary school the seasonal farm labor (that went to school) were the hardworking semi-literate white hillbillies. Hispanic migrants were also seen then, but didn't attend school. The state has had a migrant center (for public welfare) in Sparta, Michigan, for more than 40 years, probably more than 50 years.
Right now their numbers have peaked, they're getting ready to get out of the cold that's coming, and I'd guess come from south of the US border, as well as from Spanish-speaking areas of mostly southern states.
