Great Awakening or Great Reset?\">recent congressional hearing<\/a>, Rep.\u2063 Jerry Nadler (D-NY) sparked outrage with \u200chis argument that the United States needs &#8220;many illegal immigrants.&#8221; This statement comes at a \u2062time when the country is grappling with a significant \u2064influx of undocumented \u2064individuals due to\u200d President Joe Biden&#8217;s\u200b policies.<\/p>\n<p>The remarks were made during a House Judiciary Subcommittee on Immigration Integrity, Security, and Enforcement hearing focused on the impact \u200cof illegal immigration on social services. Nadler \u2062emphasized the importance of\u2063 immigrants in the country, specifically highlighting the role of\u2062 many \u2063illegal immigrants in \u2063picking vegetables.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The fact is \u200bthe birth rate in this country is way below replacement \u2062level, which means our population \u2064is going\u2064 to \u2062start shrinking,&#8221; Nadler\u2062 explained. &#8220;And\u200d the ratio of \u200cpeople on Social\u200c Security \u200cand Medicare\u200b is going to increase relative to the number of people supporting them.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><b><a href=\"https:\/\/onelink.to\/dwapp\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" aria-describedby=\"sk-tooltip-9096\" data-saferedirecturl=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/url?q=https:\/\/onelink.to\/dwapp&#038;source=gmail&#038;ust=1700760801843000&#038;usg=AOvVaw2PQrVSrJfhxNb4LcARqniG\">CLICK HERE\u2063 TO GET\u200d THE DAILYWIRE+ APP<\/a><\/b><\/p>\n<p>Watch the video below:<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Imagine if a Republican\u2063 said this and\u200b not Democrat Rep.

He pointed out \u200bthe absurdity of suggesting that millions of illegal \u2063immigrants \u2062from various countries are solely working in fields\u2062 across major cities\u200d like Chicago, Atlanta, \u2062Dallas,\u2064 and \u2062New York.<\/p>\n<p>Rep. Mike Lawler (R-NY) also criticized Nadler&#8217;s \u200dstatement,\u2063 highlighting the diverse contributions\u200d immigrants make to the economy, culture, and\u2062 community. He emphasized \u200dthe need\u2064 for a \u2064<a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/op-ed-democrats-latest-move-is-an-insult-to-all-hard-working-legal-immigrants\/\" title=\"Democrats' New Action Disrespects Diligent Legal Immigrants\">proper immigration process<\/a>\u200d and \u200bcalled for securing the border and fixing \u2063the\u2063 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/san-diego-supervisors-declare-humanitarian-crisis-on-federal-response-to-migrant-issue\/\" title=\"San Diego Supervisors denounce federal response to migrant issue as a humanitarian crisis.\">broken immigration\u200b system<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p> <\/p>\n<h2> How do critics respond to Nadler&#8217;s statement, and \u2062what concerns do they have about promoting illegal immigration?<\/h2>\n<p><span>  That the \u2062presence of undocumented immigrants\u2062 is essential to the functioning of various sectors in the United States, including agriculture, construction, and healthcare. He argued that without these workers, the economy would suffer and crucial \u200bindustries would collapse. <\/p>\n<p>However, Nadler&#8217;s statement\u200d has <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/biden-roasted-for-straight-faced-claim-gop-needs-to-give-him-money-to-protect-border\/\" title=\"Biden mocked for claiming GOP must fund him to secure border\">drawn sharp \u200ccriticism<\/a> from both Republicans and moderate Democrats. Many argue that \u200cpromoting illegal immigration undermines the rule of law and sends\u200b a message that immigration\u2062 laws are not to be taken seriously. This backlash \u2062is particularly fierce considering the current circumstances, with thousands of \u200cmigrants crossing \u2063the southern border \u200devery day in\u2064 search of\u2063 a better life. <\/p>\n<p>Critics argue that Nadler&#8217;s statement not only condones illegal activity but also ignores the negative impact that illegal immigration can have on American workers and taxpayers. They claim that undocumented immigrants often compete with low-skilled American workers for jobs, driving down wages \u2063and worsening unemployment rates. Additionally, the strain on social services, such as healthcare and education, from accommodating undocumented immigrants can place an undue burden\u200c on \u200dtaxpayers. <\/p>\n<p>Furthermore, opponents argue \u2063that Nadler&#8217;s position overlooks\u2062 the importance \u2064of proper \u200dborder security\u200d and immigration enforcement. They assert that a strong and\u200c secure border \u2062is essential \u2062for national security and the well-being of American communities. They also contend that without <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/republicans-and-democrats-call-for-review-of-global-biosafety-standards\/\" title=\"Republicans and Democrats demand global biosafety standards review.\">effective enforcement mechanisms<\/a>, including deterring illegal entry and ensuring swift\u2062 deportation of those who \u2062do not qualify for legal status, the problem \u200dof illegal immigration will only persist and worsen over time.\u200c <\/p>\n<p>In response to the \u200cbacklash, Nadler&#8217;s office released a statement clarifying his\u2064 position. They stated that Nadler believes in comprehensive immigration reform\u200b that addresses the root causes of illegal immigration while providing a pathway to legal status for those\u2064 who are already in the country. They\u2063 emphasized\u200d that his comments were\u2062 not \u200dmeant to endorse or encourage illegal immigration but rather to highlight the economic benefits that immigrants, both legal and illegal, \u200dbring to the United States. <\/p>\n<p>However, many remain unconvinced by Nadler&#8217;s explanation, arguing that his original statement seemed to prioritize economic gains over the importance of upholding immigration laws and protecting American\u200c workers and taxpayers. As the\u200c debate on immigration rages \u2064on, it is clear that Nadler&#8217;s controversial statement has only further fueled the passionate discourse surrounding \u2064this complex and contentious issue.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Rep.
