A small effort at objectivity. She may not have been lumping legal immigrants, who are now citizens into her “basket”.

So what do you think she meant by saying legal and illegal immigrants taking jobs from native Americans.??.

I have zero idea. I do not watch any television at all.

Interesting phrase ”native Americans” which could mean indigenous people.

At any rate, I understand your anger. I just feel maybe give her a pass. It could have been poor choice of words.

Who was it that said he was still waiting to find the person who said, “I was a fruit picker until those darn immigrants showed up.”

Everyone in this country, including the Indians, immigrated from somewhere.
You immigrated legally, but now you are an American citizen.
IOW, you are fully assimilated citizen and no longer an immigrant.

I would need to hear what Laura actually said in full context,
rather than just a brief complaint about what she may or may not have said.

It’s the democrats who are trying to conflate illegal aliens with immigrants. Then they move the goalposts some more by calling them refugees. Then they say just coming here illegally isn’t really much of a crime. Then DUI isn’t that bad if illegals do it. Now it’s ok if they only rape and murder a few of us. The most important thing is for us to be silent and disarmed.

She was talking about all the H1B visas that are being issued to replace people who are already working.

I have a big issue with lying Laura every day.

I doubt there is any issue with immigrants taking jobs. I just see lots of help wanted signs.
