Well that sounds insanely ignorant and incorrect.

For anyone who does not want to click the link, or listen to the almost unintelligible audio recorded with a potato, this should be in the OP:

quote:

BLACK AMERICAN: My question is, do you support granting citizenship and American-paid benefits to illegal aliens who violated our country to come here, who fly their foreign flags here, who have citizenship in their countries and whose families did absolutely not build this country, while black people are subject to things that you explained before? You can answer yes or no, please.

BETO O’ROURKE: Many, many people built this country, first of all. And we are a country of many people … and I’m paraphrasing Congressman Lewis at this point, but he said something to the effect that each of us came to this country in a different ship. Some of us came here against our will, some of us immigrated here lawfully … some of us are showing up right now as we speak. They’re fleeing the deadliest countries in the planet today. The northern triangle countries of Central America … imagine how bad things have to be for you to scoop up that six-month-old daughter of yours and to walk 2,000 miles … to refuge in a country that is comprised of people from the world over. And yes, there are some people who did not follow our laws when they came here to be with their families or to work jobs and, in some cases, no one was willing to work in their communities.

I mentioned going to the high school in Roscoe, I also went to the cotton gin in Roscoe. And at that cotton gin, there are 24 jobs and the manager of that gin says it does not matter the wages that I payor the number of hours that we set … no one born in Roscoe … or Texas or this country who is willing to work. But there are immigrants who are coming from Central America or Mexico or other parts of the world to Roscoe to work these jobs and to help build our economy.

Yeah. The first video wasn't much to me (of course I am fully aware of the double standard of someone from the right saying it, there would be much more uproar). The headliner should be his police bullshite.

I'm sure Ted will take notice and put an ad about this.

Also can't wait to see what kind of dumb shite he may say during the debate when he actually has to provide his position on things rather than nothing but fluff and skateboarding at Whataburger.

Jesus Christ.

How dense does a motherfricker have to be to think that’s a good comment to make?

O’Rourke responded by saying that it is illegal aliens who are working at cotton gins today.


Even overlooking the cringey racial aspects of it, it's just such a stupid strange statement.

I love there are so many "progressive" Texans out there that really think they NEED someone like this in the Senate for them.

It’s all the carpet-baggers from Illinois and California moving here for the jobs and bringing their politics with them.

Can you imagine if a Republican uttered the word cotton in front of a black person?

I am not the biggest fan of Ted Cruz, but he should destroy this guy in a debate.
