Democratic Rep. Jerrold Nadler of New York said Thursday that “vegetables would rot in the ground” if illegal immigrants weren’t around to pick them.
Nadler made the statement during his opening remarks at a hearing held by the House Judiciary Committee’s Subcommittee on Immigration Integrity, Security, and Enforcement, titled “The Impact of Illegal Immigration on Social Services.” Nadler, the ranking member of the House Judiciary Committee, serves as an ex officio member of the subcommittee.
“We need immigrants in this country,” Nadler said. “Forget the fact that the farm… vegetables would rot in the ground if they weren’t being picked by many immigrants — many illegal immigrants!”

Over 300,000 illegal immigrants crossed into the United States in December. Almost 380,000 illegal immigrants have been encountered at the U.S.-Mexico border during the first two months fiscal year 2024, which started Oct. 1, according to data released by United States Customs and Border Protection (CBP), following 2,045,838 encounters in fiscal year 2023, 2,206,436 in fiscal year 2022 and 1,659,206 in fiscal year 2021.
Many illegal immigrants have made their way to cities like Chicago and New York City, some of whom have been bussed by Republican Gov. Greg Abbott of Texas began busing migrants to New York City and other so-called “sanctuary” cities in 2022
“The fact is, the birth rate in this country is way below replacement level,” Nadler, a staunch supporter of abortion rights, said.
The House of Representatives passed H.R. 2, the Secure the Border Act, by a 219-213 vote on May 11, but the legislation is strongly opposed by Congressional Democrats and the White House. Republicans have demanded that provisions from the legislation be included in compromise spending legislation, threatening to shut down the government if it is not passed.
Speaker Mike Johnson and Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer negotiated a bipartisan deal this week that would fund the government with $1.590 trillion in spending until the end of Fiscal Year 2024.

IMPORTANT NOTE TO WND READERS: America – long the freest, most prosperous, powerful, altruistic and Christian nation on earth – is on the brink of destruction. Every decent and aware American adult knows this. The evidence is everywhere.
Democrat politicians today overwhelmingly favor late-term abortion up to the very moment of birth – formerly known as "infanticide." They encourage children too young to drive or vote to have their breasts and/or sex organs amputated in pursuit of a "gender transition" that is both delusional and impossible, and which leads to staggering rates of depression and suicide. They have not just allowed, but ENGINEERED, a full-scale foreign invasion of America across her southern border.
Their standard bearer, President Joe Biden – a senile, pathologically dishonest and epically corrupt career political hack – is destroying America's economy, energy sector, military, law enforcement, election integrity, national security, Constitution and overall national wellbeing as rapidly as possible. At the same time, Team Biden demonizes and, increasingly, IMPRISONS critics as "violent extremists," "domestic terrorists," "white supremacists" and "insurrectionists." Indeed, they're currently engaged in an obviously corrupt multi-front legal war against Biden's chief political rival, Donald J. Trump, in an attempt to send the 45th president of the United States to prison for the rest of his life.
None of this constitutes "politics" in any conventional or traditional American sense. Rather, it is all darkly spiritual. The greatest nation on earth is in the throes of a full-blown spiritual war between good and evil.
The big question, then, is WHAT CAN BE DONE TO SAVE AMERICA?
