Rep. Johnson: ‘Those Folks Coming Across the Border Are Helping to Put Food on Our Table’

Rep. Hank Johnson (D-GA): "Those folks coming across the border are the ones who are helping to put food on our table. Without them, we are not able to eat. If you turn them away, if all of them were turned away, and then this legislation passed making it easier to get at people who are already here legally and you have no immigration then we would have no food on our plates. We would have nobody taking care of the building, the construction of our homes, we would have nobody cleaning up in the hospitals. Uuuuuh ya know, honest work that deserves an honest day's pay. You know. That's the kind of system that we need to have in this country. Immigration is important and my friends on the other side of the aisle want to pretend that they want to close this border."
