LA Mayor Karen Bass says if ICE raids persist, there will be ‘nobody’ left to nanny the children and mow the lawns
American Thinker ^ | 06/12/2025 | Olivia Murray

Everyone probably remembers during Donald Trump’s first presidency when Kelly Osbourne completely jammed her foot in her mouth during a segment on The View when she got a little carried away talking like a tough guy, delivering what she no doubt thought was a zinger: “If you kick every Latino out of this country, then who is going to be cleaning your toilet, Donald Trump?”

It was such a monumental jack** moment, even the other View women gasped and cringed, and Osbourne quickly backpeddled.

That was only the beginning. Since then, Democrat after Democrat has warned what enforcing immigration law means (but only when Republicans do it), and that is the disappearance of slave labor. (I swear, if in 50 years the Democrats demand reparations for the illegals who were underpaid and treated like property, the very policies they support now, I’m gonna lose it.)

As we’re all acutely aware, Los Angeles is indistinguishable from a third world riot scene. If you didn’t know better, you’d think you were in Mogadishu in July 1989, or Tripoli in 2011—but nope, it’s just a Golden State city after decades of Democrat control.

And, offering her two cents about the events, mayor Karen Bass says that if the ICE raids persist, there will be “nobody” left to nanny LA’s children or mow the lawns.

Her comments are below, from a report at Fox News:

‘My biggest fear is the impact that all Angelenos will begin to feel when the labor of immigrants is absent,’ Bass said. ‘We’ll feel it in the construction industry. We’ll feel it in hospitality. We’ll feel it at grocery stores. People will begin to notice.’

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.’

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

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?).

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.

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.

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.
