Tucker Carlson: Not long ago, Biden would've been impeached for his border policies
Migrants who violently break through a police line are not allowed in the United States, contends Fox News host
Opinion By Tucker Carlson | Fox News
It's a disaster, and it's hard to believe that not so long ago, this country actually enforced its immigration laws. Not long ago at all. In fact, just two years ago, in August of 2019 federal agents kicked down the doors of seven separate chicken plants in central Mississippi. They arrested hundreds of foreign nationals who were living and working there in violation of American law. Several executives of the poultry plant were later indicted. Among the charges brought, child labor.
Headlines from our decadent corporate press corps portrayed the raids as "heartless" and "barbaric." A trade group called the National Chicken Council insisted that "the chicken industry uses every tool available to verify the identity and legal immigration status of all prospective employees." You expect to hear lies like that from an organization calling itself "the National Chicken Council," as well as from our corporate media. People who actually live in central Mississippi had a different view.
They'd spent years watching helplessly as foreign workers lowered the wages for people who are actually born there. They understood immigration, as most wage earners do understand immigration, primarily as an economic question. When you flood the labor pool, wages go down. That's called supply and demand.
Once the illegal workers were gone, those chicken plants were forced to hire American citizens. In this case, many of them were African American. So you'd think maybe the Biden administration, with its much-repeated commitment to equity, would think this is good, but of course, they didn't care. They're not interested in helping working-class people of any color.
