| Bloomberg: 'America Needs an Awful Lot More Immigrants' |
| 2019-11-29 |
| h/t Instapundit If anybody thought that Michael Bloomberg would present himself as a truly moderate Democratic presidential candidate, I'm afraid I'll have to disappoint them: on Tuesday, Bloomberg said that the United States needs "an awful lot more immigrants rather than less." "This lawn's not gonna cut itself" Ah. You can just hear AOC, Ilhan Omar, and Rashida Tlaib clapping, can't you? "We need immigrants to take all the different kinds of jobs that the country needs ‐ improve our culture, our cuisine, our religion, our dialogue and certainly improve our economy," Bloomberg told reporters (nobody else seems to be interested in his campaign so far) at a... Mexican restaurant in Arizona. After saying America needs more immigrants, Bloomberg went on to rip into President Trump. "Ripping kids away from their parents is a disgrace," he said, conveniently neglecting to mention that separating illegal immigrant families from each other actually (also) happened under President Obama. President Trump, on the other hand, ended the practice. |

#14 improve our culture, our cuisine, our religion, our dialogue and certainly improve our economy Except higher immigration is correlated with stagnant wages for working people, blue and white collar. It's good for executives, it drives down wages, but it's hell on the lowest skilled citizens. And improve our religion? Pardon me? What do we have to learn from people who invariably come from states with official religions or official suppression of religions? Does the US need to learn how to put on a pogrom? Are we lacking in our suttee skills? Fer crissake, this is a country where some of our favorite Christmas songs were written by Jews, we know it, and we love them all the more! And people don't just bring their tasty food -- they bring their tribalism, their ages-old feuds, their attitudes towards women, and, yes, their racism. |

| #13 But he isn't advocating for more immigrants - but more ILLEGAL aliens. There *is* a difference. |

| #9 Subsidised migration is the welfare state of the rich. ZERO immigration for those on below average wage. |

| #5 This guy's most noteworthy act as a political executive is the banning of big gulp drinks from 7-11, an act simultaneously inconsequential and extremely irritating. Why is he being taken seriously? If he polls any better than Harris or Booker I'll be shocked. |

| #2 our cuisine, our religion I find that interesting. One of the things that crystallized my departure from the Lutheran Church (ELCA) was when the congregation I attended, which had several outstanding ministers in its history, hired a woman who had not yet been ordained. I remember her droning on and on in her introductory sermon about how unfulfilled she had been as a waitress and how she knew she was going to be a good minister (ordination optional) I'm glad I was not around for my blood pressure to be spiked by the call to import some Syrian "refugees" on a nearly broke congregation's dime. I actually give more now, but it's Prison Fellowship and Angel Tree. |
