Rep Tom Malinowski (D) NJ was caught on camera making a racist remark while visiting in a wealthy Democratic enclave in NJ when he said that we need illegal aliens in this country because we need them to mow our beautiful lawns.
Malinowski said:
“Who do you think is taking care of our seniors? Fifty percent of the elderly care workers in the state of New Jersey are immigrants, most of them legal, most of them documented. And there’s certainly some who are not. Who do you think is mowing our beautiful lawns in Somerset County? We don’t usually ask, but a lot of those workers are undocumented.”
Ask yourself what would have happened had a conservative made that statement?The media would have been all over it and every liberal in the country would be calling for their resignation.
Rep. Tom Malinowski, D-N.J., defended the presence of both legal and illegal immigrants on Tuesday, asking his constituents: “Who do you think is mowing our beautiful lawns?”
“There are a lot of jobs in our community, that like it or not, for better or for worse, Americans are not willing to take,” Malinowski said in a video obtained by the Washington Examiner.
Malinowski, the freshman Democrat who is now running for reelection in New Jersey’s seventh district, began citing statics showing the major role migrants play in the workforce.
If President Trump had said this,would the media have described it as defending legal and illegal aliens or would they be calling him a racist and white supremacist?
