Progressive Rep. Pramila Jayapal, D-Wash., said Wednesday that immigrants are needed in America because they, among other things, "pick the food we eat," "clean our homes," and "rebuild our communities after climate disasters."

Jayapal's comments – which some GOP colleagues and others criticized as stereotyping immigrants — came during a House Judiciary Committee markup of legislation pertaining to the immigration crisis, known as the Border Security and Enforcement Act of 2023.

"Trump's policies, combined with his anti-immigrant rhetoric, made us less safe, less competitive in attracting the best and the brightest, and undermined our most basic human values of compassion and kindness," Jayapal said as she argued for a path to citizenship for illegal immigrants residing in America.

In some ways, she’s right, but how about adding that these need to be legal immigrants, not folks who expect to pick and choose which of our laws they will decide to obey.

“Climate disasters . . .” In her deranged mind, every weather event is now a “climate disaster.” Sheesh.

What an elitist. It would do her good to clean her own damn house, like most people do. And mow her own lawn.

She’s an immigrant. She must think she’s a very special one.

We’ve already got a surfeit of low-skill workers and new tech is only going to make it worse. The last thing we need is a bigger supply of them.

While in my opinion she looks like she had her face smashed several times by a big rock. I am not sure about dumb as one.

Long ago I had a Pet Rock, it learned several commands, Sit, Stay, Play Dead, etc

Honestly I think Pramila knows a few more tricks than my rock did, and perks up when she listens to her masters voice.

Jayapal has the IQ of a wad of fresh snot. Nothing she blurts out surprises me.

Pramila Payapal, better spelling. Doesn’t she mean pick the bugs? I hardly know a person who has “help” cleaning the house. Old friends who have an acre of green space have a landscaper company keep it up, but they are all white and born in America. Call her Payapal, because she does nothing except raise money and dole it out on her excursion to Mitch McConnel like power in the Dimrod party.

“What was wrong with the Barassero program?”

probably because the biden cannot pronounce that, and the people working here under that program did not vote
