Democratic Rep Says America Needs Migrants to Wipe Asses

Democratic Vermont Rep. Becca Balint said during a town hall in Newport on May 29 that America’s reliance on migrant labor is no longer a political issue but an issue of national survival.

Balint held a town hall where she engaged with constituents, responded to their questions, and outlined her efforts in Congress. She is now under fire for suggesting that President Donald Trump’s immigration crackdown will leave Vermonters without “anyone around to wipe our asses.”

“We have to come to a place in Congress where it is no longer a political issue, but we see it as an existential issue for the country. If we don’t have avenues for people to come here legally to work or to build a home here,” Balint said.

Balint then pointed out what she said was the critical need for migrant labor, suggesting the nation’s survival depends on it.

“I’m going to be really crude right now. We’re not going to have anybody around to wipe our asses because we don’t have enough people to fill the jobs that we have right now,” Balint said. (Read more from “Democratic Rep Says America Needs Migrants to Wipe Asses” HERE)
