AP Tees Up Question For Karine Jean-Pierre About Immigrants Helping The Economy

This is great: After the press and the Democrats freaked out for a full week over Donald Trump using the word "bloodbath" to describe what would happen to the auto industry under a second President Joe Biden term, Trump has adopted the word and calls the situation at the border "Biden's Border Bloodbath." He's taking "bloodbath" and running with it. Trump doesn't seem to be aware that the millions of illegal immigrants who've crossed the border (or been flown over it) are good for the economy. You know those guys on the Key Bridge who were filling potholes? Undocumented. Karine Jean-Pierre is a terrible press secretary, but she seemed well prepared for this "question" from AP White House correspondent Josh Boak.

"We know immigrants strengthen our country and our economy." One Democrat assured us they'd be picking the vegetables that would otherwise rot on the vine. New York City Mayor Eric Adams even made the argument that giving prepaid debit cards to illegals was good for the local economy. Last November, though, before December's record-breaking 320,000 illegal immigrant encounters, Fox Business reported that illegals were costing the U.S. $451 billion per year for housing and care. But there were eight immigrants on the Key Bridge filling potholes when it was struck, doing a job that Americans just won't do.
