Rep. Clarke appeared to confirm Republicans’ suspicions that Democratic weakness on illegal immigration is actually about shoring up their strength in Washington.
New York, like much of the country, is beleaguered by migrants who have stolen into the nation illegally. New York City is shelling out tens of billions of dollars to address the problem — an imported problem that has overloaded its shelters, displaced citizen students, brought back once-eradicated diseases, driven its Democratic mayor well past the point of desperation, and put poor New Yorkers both out in the cold and at the back of the line.
Democratic Rep. Yvette Clarke, a radical leftist congresswoman running for re-election this year in New York’s 9th District, made clear in an undated video that went viral this week that this avoidable crisis is not all for naught. Rather, she regards it as a good thing for the right people.
“I’m from Brooklyn, New York. We have a diaspora that can absorb a significant number of these migrants,” said Clarke, who has served on the House Committee on Homeland Security. “When I hear colleagues talk about, you know, the doors of the inn being closed — ah, no room at the inn — I’m saying I need more people in my district just for redistricting purposes.”
Democrats have been fighting for years to redraw New York’s congressional map to ensure Republicans no longer have a chance in two to six swing districts from Long Island to Syracuse. The New York Times noted that the New York Court of Appeals’ (the state’s highest court) controversial ruling last month may ultimately flip the House in Democrats’ favor. More bodies will help in that regard.
“And those members could clearly fit here,” added Clarke, referencing illegal aliens.
Shows why the citizen question on the census is important!
Remember > ILLEGALS are NOT Immigrants so STOP calling them that & treating them like that !! PERIOD !!!
Americans should just REFUSE TO PAY THEIR TAXES 2024 Until ALL the Illegals are sent HOME !!!!!
