“We need immigrants in this country,” Democratic Rep. Jerrold Nadler said Thursday during a House Judiciary Subcommittee on Immigration Integrity, Security, and Enforcement hearing. “Our vegetables would rot in the ground if they weren’t being picked by many immigrants — many illegal immigrants.”
“The fact is, the birth rate in this country is way below replacement level,” he continued. Nadler is adamantly anti-life, and given that abortion is responsible for the deaths of millions of unborn American children, it’s unlikely that he’s sincerely concerned about the United States’ replacement rates.
Nadler’s remarks recall the Democratic party’s past reasoning for supporting slavery. Federalist Senior Editor Mark Hemingway pointed out that Democrats in 1823 were backing slavery because if there were no slaves, “Who would pick our cotton?” Today, Democrats are making the argument that low-wage working illegal migrants are necessary to pick “our vegetables.”
Another striking comparison is the Democrats’ past support of slave traders and their current aiding of human trafficking at the southern border. As Federalist CEO Sean Davis explained, “Before the Civil War, Democrats bought their slaves from human traffickers who kidnapped them and then shipped them across the Atlantic. In 2023, they use cartels to smuggle illegal immigrants across a border Democrats refuse to close.”
Indeed, human trafficking at our southern border is now a multi-billion dollar business, and Democrats have no plan to stop the abuse. In December alone, over 300,000 illegal immigrants crossed into the United States.
Now, illegal immigration isn’t just a problem for border states but the entire nation. Massive influxes of aliens are now invading places like New York City and Chicago, putting massive strain on city resources. Meanwhile, the fentanyl crisis created...

For years, the left demanded that we bring the rate of population growth down.
Who remembers “The Population Bomb,” and other doomsday predictions.
So they got what they wanted, at least in first-world countries.
And guess what? Now we get “the fact is, the birth rate in this country is way below replacement level...”
From who? From the left! From the same people that told us we had to reduce our birth rates!
And what’s the solution ? Why, shoot, that’s obvious! Import an entirely new demographic, that just happens to need the services... provided by the left!
Huh. I’m sure it’s only a coincidence. An “unintended consequence.”
Just for that, we deserve to be conquered by Islam.
I’ve been saying this since day one: The DemoMarxist domestic enemies of the USA and humanity have been transporting slaves through our southern border for years, decades. Only this time instead of ships and shackles, they use lies and scams making these people believe jobs are waiting for them in the USA.
I live out in eastern Long Island North of the Hamptons where the slavers hold fundraisers for Democrats. Every day I see illegal aliens with backpacks walking along a street because they are camping out in the woods.
They spend everything they have to come here believing the scam of the Democrats and when they get here they find there are no jobs, or very little work so they end up homeless completely desperate to the slavers.
The NY Post did a good article on this 2 years ago. Mind you, this was in the summer. Now they are freezing in the winter and a lot have kids with them.
So much of the public has NO idea just how f**kin evil the Democratic party is. I hate those bastards with every fiber of my being, they are inhumane demons

Why doesn’t Jerry Nadler quit his job and go pick vegetables then. He’d be much more useful doing that.
Democrats have always been pieces of crap.
Of course the illegal aliens are the modern equivalent of slaves for the democrats.
Well said.
Nadidler needs someone to change his diapers and wipe his oversized a$$…
I remember in Arizona reading some statistic that said less than 6% of illegals work in temporary agricultural work.
Temporary agricultural work permits are available for citizens of most invader origin countries.
They are not available to citizens of Cuba or Venezuela.
“Our vegetables would rot in the ground if they weren’t being picked by many immigrants..”
Somebody has to pick the cotton ‘eh Nads?
Illegals are slaveryLite.
Democrats don’t want neighbors or citizens - they want servants - slaveLites... Democrats are disgusting. Always have been - always will be.
Conquered?
He#, we're rolling out the "welcome" mat raising the white flag.
All I can say is that the West is committing suicide.
The exact point I’ve posted here for 20 years.
From the Jaffe memo to Paul Ehrlich to Roe v. Wade to Bill Gates, the Left has screamed for fewer children.
Now the fat disgusting schlub complains about it? He and his buddies caused it.
So now the Left finds themselves without supporters...because they aborted themselves out of existence.
What to do, What to do? Import supporters!
And conveniently forget what they said for 30 years starting in 1967.
Jerry Nadler IS a vegetable--a pants pooping vegetable. He should just disappear.
