House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., claimed this week that southern states like Florida need illegal immigrants to “pick the crops,” saying there was a shortage of workers in the U.S.
When asked during a press conference on Friday whether Democrats were concerned about the border crisis, Pelosi said that while “we have a responsibility to secure our border, we also have a responsibility to recognize the importance of newcomers to our nation.”
“Right now, the best thing that we can do for our economy is comprehensive immigration reform,” she said.
