CNBC’s Jim Cramer: Amnesty Supporters ‘Don’t Care’ About American Workers (Video)
Top Right News ^ | 01-08-2014 | John Urban

On Meet the Press Sunday, CNBC host Jim Cramer said that those pushing amnesty for tens of millions of illegal aliens simply don't care about American workers. Cramer stunned the political establishment by saying out loud what the elites and their donors want to censor -- that amnesty would destroy our workers and hurt our economy.

By John Urban | Top Right News

Cramer, a lifelong Democrat, was responding to Obama economic adviser Gene Sperling's assertion that "immigration reform" would fix the nation's job problems, hitting the Democrat party in particular, but making a much larger point.

"David, don't you find it interesting that the dogma is now post-Clinton, pro-immigration at a time when we have a much larger supply of labor than we need, and pro free trade,"Cramer said on Meet The Press to host David Gregory. "Even though we are supposed to be greenhouse gas-oriented, we know where those jobs go. Those jobs leave this country to countries that can pollute all they want. I’ve always wanted to know why the Democrats didn’t say, 'You know what, we need the defense against the countries that take our jobs and pollute all over.'"

"But we don't care about that. What we care about is when workers come to this country from other countries they get jobs. Why don't we care more about our people?" asked Cramer.

Gregory, who has been criticized for being a mouthpiece for Washington's permanent political class, immediately changed the subject to discuss the stock market.

The Democrats are soft on border security for exactly the same reason they are soft on polling place security.

Isn’t Cramer almost always barking mad? What happened? Did he fall and hit his head, break lose some Conservative free radicals or something?

Cramer is the poster boy for the Biblical wisdom that “A double-minded man is unstable in ALL his ways.”

Democrats like it: voters!
Republicans like it: cheap labor!
Large religeous denominations like it: members & money!

Americans get hosed.

He’s right. The EPA has run millions of jobs off to places where they pollute as much as they want.

I agree with Mark Levin, they will “settle” for Perm status minus voting rights.... (they will claim after this passed that they compromosed with the right and how damned great they are for doing this.) Then after that is passed they will use their illegal immigrant rights groups to wine about “taxation without representation” and get them fully legalized.... Then they will shop the law to the 9th circus court which will throw out the voting restriction part of the bill.

For the last 40 years The Party of Government has done all it can to replace American voters with Mexicans.

Like Justice Robert’s decision, I am sure they have a stack of such ‘decisions’ that are already filled out and only need a situation and a signature.

I generally can’t stand Jim Cramer and usually hit the remote any time I see his mug and rolled up sleeves on my TV, but I gotta give it him here. He hit the nail squarely on the head.

Interesting last words by the host of that clip: "Let me move on..." Sorry, Jim, you are saying forbidden things and will therefore be ignored.

He says things for ratings. He knows pounding amnesty is popular with the people.

Jon Stewart got butthurt when he told Obama to slow down on his cap and trade and other BS.

Almost exactly what Rush said. Chuckie Schumer would scream about the unfairness until voting was secured for everyone.

Personally I don't know how you can stop them from voting if you can't even ask if they are citizens.
