I think I speak for all of us when I say, “Who’s Kelly Osbourne?”
The best part of this is an offended Rosie Perez apologizing to Osbourne after being reminded that they should focus on the Common Enemy.
Perez clarified the point Collins was trying to make, saying, “There are a lot of Latinos here in this country that do agree that the immigration problem is a problem and it does need to be addressed and it does need to be fixed. But [Trump] making those comments [about rapists]those racist commentsdoes not help.”
“If you kick every Latino out of this country, then who is going to be cleaning your toilet, Donald Trump?” Osbourne said. “In the sense that…you know what I mean? But I’m saying that in L.A., they always…” The other co-hosts were taken aback, and Perez said, “Latinos are not only….” Osbourne cut her off and said, “No, I didn’t mean it like that! Come on! I would never mean it like that! I’m not part of this argument.”
At the end of the show, Perez defended Osbourne, telling viewers, “I want to apologize to this young woman once again for being overly sensitive.”…
“No, Kelly Osbourne is on our side and I was sensitive,” Perez said. “My disdain should go to only Donald Trump, so I’m sorry, darling.”
Osbourne’s eating crap on Twitter for invoking toilet-scrubbing as some paradigm example of a Latino trade, but to focus on that misses the larger point here — namely, that this same example has been used by “respectable” amnesty fans for years. A Twitter buddy reminds me that no less than former L.A. Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa was known to have his mind turn towards toilets when making the case for comprehensive immigration reform:
Today we say to America: Weve come here to work: We clean your toilets. We clean your hotels. We build your houses. We take care of your children. We want you to help us take care of our children as well.
All Osbourne’s doing here, really, is giving her own colorful variation on ye olde “doing the jobs Americans won’t do” lie. In fact, as I recall, a prominent presidential candidate used that lie himself recently to defend his plan for legalizing illegals working menial jobs. Who was that again? Was it Jeb Bush? No, wait — I remember now:
Trump continued:
“We have to bring great people into this country, okay? And I want to bring I love the idea of immigration, but its got to be legal immigration. Now, a lot of these people are helping us, whether its the grapes, or whether its jobs, and sometimes its jobs, in all fairness, I love our country, but sometimes its jobs that a citizen of the United States doesnt want to do. I mean, there are jobs that a lot of people dont want to do. I want to move them out, and were going to move them back in, and let them be legal, but they have to be in here legally. Otherwise, you dont have a country. You dont have a country, if people can just pour into the country illegally, you dont have a country, but I would expedite the system.”
The punchline of this soundbite is that Trump himself would agree with Osbourne. Precisely because illegals from Mexico are willing to pick grapes and clean toilets and do jobs that Americans supposedly won’t do, we need a way to integrate them into the labor force legally. That’s the irony at the heart of Trumpmania: Both on the right and, per Osbourne, the left, Trump’s “Mexican rapists” remark in his announcement speech has earned him a reputation as some sort of hardline immigration restrictionist that he simply doesn’t deserve. He’s not out there arguing that illegals should be deported en masse and only the highly skilled should be allowed to return through legal channels. On the contrary. What separates him from Osbourne and most Democrats is that he considers crimes committed by illegals to be a real problem rather than trivia to which lip service should be paid en route to mass legalization.
Uneducated American citizens, mainly from minority groups will do it.
Unemployed lack guys: “But we’re not gonna clean no toilets for no minimum wage!”
Desperate building owners: “Would you consider $12 an hour, health insurance, and two weeks vacation?
Unemployed lack guys: “How about $15 an hour?
Desperate building owners: “We can do $13.50 with a raise after 6 months if you do a good job.”
Unemployed black guys: “It’s a deal!”
So many of these liberal elites seem to assume that ‘latino’ is an equivalent and fully interchangeable word for ‘illegal alien.’
Kelly's going to the Halloween party dressed as a toilet brush.
They also spend a lot of time talking about perverted forms of sex.
Trump only is after the illegals—Good ilegals will be let back in (even if they are ever transported out of the nation) I am sure Trump doesn’t hire illegals to clean his toilets—I am sure they are well paid. Keep the good hard working ones—toss out the criminals.
If we brought over news writers from India to work for ten bucks an hour there would be journalist ‘not willing to do the job’.
Trump needs to understand ... before the illegals flooded our country WE DID THE JOBS OURSELVES. ALL OF THEM.
And if it was difficult to find someone employers had to PAY MORE.
Hospitals were saying the same thing a few years ago - they were bringing in nurses from the Philippines. There were plenty of trained nurses here - there just weren’t willing to work for nothing.
Same with call centers that have been outsourced to every country in the world. It's NOT that Americans can't do the job - it's that they won't work for a dollar an hour.
We pay illegals and our money flows out of the country... In the short run hotels and industry benfits - in the long run the country is being bankrupted.
I don't think so. The average news event like this is posted some 4-5 times a day. I'll eat my hat if this story is not posted again tonight and tomorrow.
These dupes just add to the clutter and disorder that FR now contends with.
The answer is simple - better moderators who would police up like they used to.
Then the hotels and cleaning services and farms that need pickers have to bring in another large group of illegals. And the process starts over.
It goes on and on... incentives from hell. In a few years WE'LL BE A THIRD WORLD COUNTRY. A broke third world country and at that point it will be to late to do anything.
If they kick out all the felons how will you pull a train, Kelly?
And the elitist racism of the left comes out again.
I am sure people can crap on their own crop too. If they really want to.
Sounds raciss to me.
That’s racist, Kelley. Inherit your dad’s brain damage, did you?
Indeed.
And there is a difference between jobs Americans WON’T do versus jobs Americans don’t WANT to do (but will if paid enough. . .but with illegal aliens depressing wages. . .).
He only wants to get rid off the illegals Kelly.
You’ve completely missed the point like the ignorant half of America that mindlessly votes Democrat.
Kelly, get back to us when your IQ reaches room temperature.
Well, you can, you stupid vapid air-headed fat ass fake.
Or your mama...makes no difference...you're both about as capable as the other.
What is it with these damn twits?
* Liberals are so highly intelligent, much more so than are Conservatives. *
Now THAT’S comedy!
I don’t care who ya are.
Your mom....
