Establishment elites love cheap labor. They always have. Thus, the establishment media routinely gaslights readers and viewers about illegal immigration, a prime source of cheap labor.
Now and then, however, even the establishment media cannot help accidentally telling the truth.
On Sunday, for instance, in the opening paragraph of a story meant to evoke pathos for the “victims” of last week’s Immigration and Customs Enforcement raid on the Glenn Valley Foods meat packing plant in Omaha, Nebraska, which netted 76 illegal immigrants, NBC News inadvertently undermined the leftist establishment’s entire immigration narrative.
“Every seat in the waiting area of Glenn Valley Foods was occupied with people filling out job applications early Thursday afternoon, two days after the meat packing plant became the center of the largest worksite immigration raid in the state of Nebraska so far this year,” the opening paragraph read.
In other words, Americans stood ready to fill jobs hitherto occupied by illegal immigrants.
Democrats told us it would not happen. Then again, Democrats also fought a civil war in an effort to keep their slaves. So Democrats, the party of elitism, will always fight for cheap labor.
Meanwhile, on the social media platform X, President Donald Trump’s allies highlighted the NBC story’s first paragraph.
Likewise, other X users noted how thoroughly that paragraph undermined the entire leftist-establishment narrative on illegal immigration.
“And just like that, the ‘jobs Americans won’t do’ myth evaporates. Turns out when the law is enforced and wages aren’t undercut, Americans line up to work. One raid exposed the whole scam,” one user wrote.
