How Stupid Is JD Vance?
On CNBC's Squawk Box, JD Vance blamed all the problems of the country, including inflation on migrants and claimed the US isn't the most prosperous country in the world.
Vance's outward racist analogies about immigrants are monumentally dumb and weird. Not to mention he has been a key component to promoting the sick conspiracy that Haitians are stealing and eating pets in Ohio.
Let's debunk an often used lie by the Trump Vance campaign. President Biden and Kamala Harris did not let in 25 million immigrants into the country. These numbers count all undocumented worker that have been in the country since 1990.
KERNEN: ...do you see the analysis that there have been positive aspects for the jobs market and for the labor situation from immigration?
VANCE: I've certainly seen these reports, and look, for a generation, Wall Street has said that the way to create prosperity in this country is to flood the country with cheap labor and offsource our manufacturing to places like China, which use cheap slave labor.
What that's actually led is to communities like Springfield, Ohio, where you have 20,000 Haitians who have come in.
