A sob story schism on the left over mass deportations found a lawmaker lamenting the loss of “cheap labor” as a filmmaker fretted about the next Steve Jobs.
The election of President Donald Trump had many rooting for the beginning of the end for the globalist agenda advanced under now-former President Joe Biden. As the administration works to restore national sovereignty, Michael Moore served up an extreme example involving the “cure for cancer” and planetary disaster as Washington Rep. Pramila Jayapal (D) wondered over the crops.
Conflating immigration with illegal entry into the country and wholly disregarding how his logic could be applied to the leftist love of murdering unborn children, the “Bowling for Columbine” director authored a blog post titled, “Our Muslim Boy Wonder,” wherein he framed the birth of Apple co-founder Jobs to a wealthy Syrian man and a Wisconsin woman as similar to the potential of an unknown number of aliens.
“Who’s really being removed by ICE tonight? The child who would’ve discovered the cure for cancer in 2046? The 9th-grade nerd who would’ve stopped that Astroid [sic] that’s gonna hit us in 2032? Do we care?” asked Moore who suggested Jobs, who had been put up for adoption after his birth, was an anchor baby to his biological father, Abdulfattah Jandali who’d been attending the University of Wisconsin.
“I am grateful for that Muslim migrant baby being born here 70 years ago today. Because if he hadn’t, it’s possible we would have none of his inventions. We would also have no TED LASSO,” argued the filmmaker. “For every time I have heard a negative word or blatant hatred spewed toward those who came from afar, I have felt that I should pause, get down on one knee, and thank all of those who gave up their lives elsewhere to come here and be with us.”
Meanwhile, as Moore denigrated those supporting mass deportations as “any bigot who constantly rails against the danger we are all in because of these ‘filthy, lowlife aliens,'” Jayapal got on a soapbox at the Congressional Progressive Caucus’ Tax the Greedy Billionaires press conference to repeat the view of others in her party that illegal aliens were little more than “cheap labor.”
“If you look at the food that’s on your table, think about who picked it. If you look at your homes, think about who built them. If you look at your vulnerable elders and your kids, think about who’s taking care of them,” said the Washington congresswoman.
That take prompted South Carolina Rep. Nancy Mace (R) to react, “MEGA WTF moment. Rep. Pramila Jayapal just sang praises for illegal immigration — gushing over cheap labor and glorifying indentured servitude.”
BREAKING A MEGA WTF moment: SQUAD STOOGE Rep. Pramila Jayapal just sang praises for illegal immigration—gushing over cheap labor and glorifying indentured servitude.

Her reaction wasn’t alone in calling foul on the deceptive narrative being presented as both Jayapal and Moore’s disparate stories fell apart under the reality of visas.
She conveniently forgets to mention programs we have in place to legally allow agricultural workers when needed:
One of the most prominent is the H-2A Temporary Agricultural Program, which allows U.S. employers to bring in foreign workers for seasonal agricultural jobs when…

We aren’t getting the best and brightest illegal immigrants. No cures for cancer will ever come from the countries they are leaving and will be soon returning to whether they like it or not. The talented migrants can apply to come in legally.

That’s quite a promotion from “but, who’ll pick our crops!?”.

They can cure cancer in their home countries and license the patents to us. No biggie

Same is true for all the aborted babies. One of them could have cured cancer or stopped an asteroid.

Question: If they are working on a farm why are the being housed in luxury hotels? If they are working harvesting crops why are we giving them $36,000 a year ($3000/month) to live on plus free housing and health care. I paid my way through life they should too.

Who will pick the cotton if we free the slaves?
Same vibe.
