LA Mayor Karen Bass says if ICE raids persist, there will be ‘nobody’ left to nanny the children and mow the lawns

She continued, ‘You think about the mothers who have nannies and housekeepers. They will feel it when there's nobody to do childcare and there’s nobody to take their kids to school. You know, you will feel it when your gardener goes away, and you don’t know where he or she is. So Angelenos will feel the absence of immigrant labor.’

I’m fine with that.

Democrats are doing an great job alienating blacks. They haven’t changed since 1860. Pay attention people.

[lurk]

How did they do it 200 yrs ago?

[blackdog]

Immigrants on par with goats, sheep, chickens, and strawberry picking slaves.

"Chattle"

Or pick the cotton, she didn’t add...

I’m willing to bet that if someone looked at her ancestry and she has slave ancestry, they will be overseers.

The black version of kappos (sp?).

[DownInFlames]

There’s plenty of blacks and Asians to fill the void.

Lazy mayor Karen B ass! We’re in our 70’s and do our own chores. My wife took over mowing our lawn a couple years ago, she likes the exercise (uses a manual reel mower). I still do the lawn edging, bush trimming and tree cutting. And we also help out with caring for the grandchildren. Democrats are lazy idiots.

[Bratch]

Or clean your feces. That’s very important.🙄

[Opinionated Blowhard]

There will be no need for housekeepers if the entire city burns down due to Bass’s incompetence.

"The great slave rebellion of 2025"

Where the slaves unknowingly rebelled against freedom because the slave holders hand out food and housing at no charge.

“They will feel it when there’s nobody to do childcare and there’s nobody to take their kids to school.”

Or when a liberal behind needs wiping.

[blackdog]

Nah. The SEIU will have them tending to you in assisted living facilities, casinos, hospitals, state buildings, and restaurants.

I asked this question to a couple of guys who were claiming construction would grind to a halt. Americans can’t do construction they asserted.

“Well if we have to have illegals to do the work how was it done in the 1980s and before?”

They switched to saying young people couldn’t do the job.

I then said why should they try to learn construction since you wouldn’t hire them anyway.

You mean pay a fair wage for raising your kids and cutting your lawn. What people are concerned about is their discount labor?

Not going to get alot of support from the middle third of the nation who raises their own kids and mows their own lawn.

Sounds a bit racist to me, but then I again I do not know what that means this week.

Watch your own kids and get off your lazy butt and do your own lawn care and gardening.
