Morning Joe Jumps On Alleged Labor Shortage To Push For More Immigration

For the liberal media, any excuse is sweet to permit thousands and thousands extra immigrants to enter the nation. The MSM and their Dem allies see each immigrant crossing the southern border as a possible voter for them. Biden’s opened the border huge? That is nice! 

And so it was that on as we speak’s Morning Joe, the panel jumped on Katty Kay’s anecdotal proof of mom-and-pop retail shops and eating places being unable to open in small-town Virginia due to a scarcity of employees to—you guessed it—make the case for extra immigration.

Jonathan Lemire let the cat out of the bag, saying:

“We’d like extra immigrants for financial causes and all the remainder.”

And we all know exactly what “all the remainder” means for the left!

Lemire additionally condescendingly claimed that “affordable folks” on each side of the aisle understand “we want extra immigrants.” As if there could not presumably be any affordable objection to opening the borders! 

And Joe Scarborough had the chutzpah to say, “This isn’t a left/proper subject.” Riight. As if Dems haven’t any ulterior motive in flooding the nation with thousands and thousands of immigrants that they see as “their” voters. 

Scarborough claimed that individuals who see themselves as champions of small enterprise ought to favor extra immigration. The opposite facet of that coin is that champions of employees—one thing union man Joe Biden and the Democrats at giant declare to be—should understand that flooding the labor market with thousands and thousands of immigrants would depress wages for American employees!

Morning Joe leaping on anecdotal proof of labor shortages for small enterprise to argue for extra immigration was sponsored partially by Purple Mattresses, WeatherTech, and Pfizer, maker of Arexvy.

Here is the transcript.

KATTY KAY: Simply this weekend, I used to be out in Virginia the place we spend three or 4 days, attempt to each week, and within the little city the place we go, three of the eating places are up on the market as a result of they are saying that they can not get hourly labor. They cannot get employees to work within the eating places, and so, three of the eating places are going to be up on the market, presumably are going to close down. It is the sort of factor that you just’re speaking about.

Now, whether or not that is the identical as folks not going to eating places and simply ordering takeout, or whether or not there’s a labor scarcity within the nation, which there clearly is, which is another excuse to have a look at the immigration query, what’s occurring on the border and we’ll give you some form of settlement on that, it isn’t good. It isn’t good. You will have a really small city which depends upon tourism, and three of the eating places go below. That is an issue.

JOE SCARBOROUGH: And Jonathan Lemire, persons are going to look again, I believe, even in a couple of years, and go, wait a second, let’s get this straight: small enterprise homeowners, household eating places, like, household, , principal avenue eating places, {hardware} shops, bookstores needed to shut down as a result of they did not have sufficient employees.

And on the identical time, you’ve gotten immigrants which are actually risking their lives to get right here to allow them to work in America. It actually, there once more, there’s a answer available.

And this isn’t a left/proper subject. It is a, once more, if you’re a champion of small companies, of entrepreneurs, of household eating places, of household small companies on principal streets which are being to close down as a result of they can not discover sufficient employees. This, this appears to be a problem the place Congress ought to come collectively and get issues fastened.

JONATHAN LEMIRE: It could appear to be a layup, but nothing is, nothing’s occurring. And there isn’t any signal something will. It is develop into too handy of a political cudgel to only rail towards the system versus doing something to repair it. 

To your level and to Katty’s, folks from each side of the aisle, affordable folks, understand it is a second the place we do want extra immigrants for financial causes and all the remainder. But this is not occurring. Not less than, there isn’t any signal it’ll occur anytime quickly, as we’re about to show the calendar into an election 12 months.
