Democratic strategist Van Jones said late Tuesday that “people who don’t have papers” were “terrified” as votes were tabulated and the election moved toward former President Trump and away from Vice President Harris.
“There are going to be people tomorrow who are going to be handing clothes at the dry cleaners to people who don’t have papers. There are going to be people who are going to be cleaning your teeth tomorrow who don’t have papers. And they are terrified tonight,” Jones said.
Trump has made immigration and the border central to his campaign during this election cycle. He’s made sweeping calls for the National Guard and local police to conduct mass deportations, saying his second term would carry out “the largest deportation operation in American history.”
Those pledges have been paired with a number of false claims about migrants, including the amplification of a conspiracy theory that accused Haitian migrants of abducting and eating pets in Springfield, Ohio.
During the CNN interview, Jones also mentioned Black women and transgender people, in remarks highlighted by Mediaite.
“They thought tomorrow morning they were going to walk out with their shoulders back a little bit, maybe be able to breathe for the first time, and feel like they belong someplace. They did everything that they knew how to do, and it’s going to be harder than it should be tomorrow for them to hold their heads up, and they’re not the only people who are hurting tonight,” Jones said.

Start Packing!
GOOD
Great point...drive them out!
I hear there is space in Gaza.
Law breakers are concerned that they will be dealt with.
Sounds like every drama ever seen on TV or in the movies.
Yawn...
Did Van Jones call this a white lash? Or has he retired that description of Trump winning elections?
Where are the 25 Million voters that voted in 2020 but not yesterday?
Check Obama’s papers.
WAGONS, HO! [ROLLIN, ROLLIN, ROLLIN, KEEP THEM DOGGIES, ROLLIN, RAWHIDE!]
The salt must flow!
My take: Van Jones just admitted that Biden/Harris sent the message that black women don't belong in a country run by Democrats.
LOL...what, exactly, did Mr. Jones THINK was going to happen.
Those illegals better start looking for the shadows this morning. They are going to be filling up quickly and, if they wait too long, they won’t find any shadows available for hiding.
I remember how mad they got the last time we took away their slaves.
That's awful! I hear bus tickets to Texas and very reasonable. Help them buy one.
Rule of Law — a Republic
Rule of Men — an Oligarchy
We have immigration laws. Most of them passed by Democrats.
People who are here in violation of our immigration laws need to leave. It’s not racism. It’s not bigotry. It’s law enforcement.
Sad that Van can’t stop looking at the world through a racial and victimhood lens. He can’t fathom that some of the same people he is referring to voted for Trump.
