Democratic presidential candidate Pete Buttigieg nodded in agreement with leftist reverend William Barber on Sunday as Barber suggested that migrants who were illegally entering the United States were reclaiming land that the United States stole from Mexico.
“Let me ask you a couple quick rapid-fire [questions],” Barber began. “Do you think we need to also stop allowing forces to demonize ‘people who are trying to get their immigration status’ and we start lifting up all the ways they benefit this country?”
“Yeah, I mean the uncomfortable reality is that undocumented folks are in many ways, like Social Security, subsidizing everybody else,” Buttigieg claimed.
“And we need to talk about that – and shouldn’t we have some conversation whenever people say, we call people ‘illegal aliens’ and all these things that are not human, are certainly not Christian,” Barber continued. “Why can’t we just own in America that some of the people that are trying to come from Mexico here are coming back to land we stole, and the reason we took the land is because people wanted to keep their slaves?
Buttigieg nodded in agreement as Barber made his remarks.
“Buttigieg supports amnesty for ‘DREAM Act’-eligible illegal aliens and supports other pro-amnesty policies that would magnetize our border and incentivize Mexican cartels and trafficking rings to make their dangerous treks north,” The Daily Wire reported in September. “He has been consistently critical of President Donald Trump’s attempts to secure our southern border amidst a hitherto unprecedented deluge of illegal aliens arriving en masse at our beleaguered southern border. He has encouraged illegal aliens to flock to his city of South Bend.”
Buttigieg has recently seen his stock rise in the Democratic primary race as Joe Biden continues to struggle and Elizabeth Warren has started to see her campaign decline over the last couple of weeks.
The media has tried to paint Buttigieg as a moderate Democrat, which could not be further from the truth.
Daily Wire Editor-at-Large Josh Hammer highlighted just a few of Buttigieg’s far-left positions in a report on the 37-year-old:
- Buttigieg supports a single-payer health insurance system that would amount to a governmental takeover of health insurance and imposition of socialized medicine in America.
- Buttigieg is emphatically pro-abortion and has refused to identify a single legal restriction on abortion that he would support.
- Buttigieg supports “universal” background checks, thereby requiring a government intermediary for all private transfers of firearms. He is a member of Mayors Against Illegal Guns, a consortium of pro-gun control mayors. Buttigieg supports a national gun registry, which is a longstanding policy nemesis of Second Amendment supporters. He supports banning the undefinable sub-class of firearms referred to as so-called “assault weapons” — a line of thought that, if taken to its logical conclusion, could lead to the banning of all semi-automatic firearms in America.
Buttigieg has notable problems connecting with the black and Latino communities which have threatened to derail his campaign.
The New York Times reports:
So, then, aren’t these two idiots making the broad-stroke assumption that all illegal immigrants are Mexicans? I thought that was racist…
The Mexican-American War was formally concluded by the Treaty of Guadalupe-Hidalgo. The United States received the disputed Texan territory, as well as New Mexico territory and California. The Mexican government was paid $15 million — the same sum issued to France for the Louisiana Territory. The United States Army won a grand victory.
We didnt steal a damn thing, we paid for that land. The borders are not some arbitrary line.
Mexico surrendered in 1848 we allowed them to keep some territory, a damn mistake. Now its a failed state run by Drug Cartels.
Mayor Pete Bobblehead should learn his history, as should the Fake reverend William Barber.
Mr Barber the war had nothing to do with slavery your total ignorance is astounding.
The US saved them from being a French colony.
So where have we heard this sort of marlakey before? oh yes we have heard this before all that stuff Butterlegs and Barber are they going to force us off our lands to make room for so called refugees They both need to be exposed as Traitors
@kitt:
Mayor Pete, and this insane “reverend”, assume that Mexico had always controlled that land prior to a hand full of Texicans kicking their ass at San Jacinto, followed up by the Mexican-American War. Obviously it never occurred to these two rocket scientists that the Mexicans stole that land from someone else before that (Apache and Commanche, to name just two tribes of Texas).
Texas was only in dispute for the Mexicans who never wanted to admit that the land known as Tejas was relinquished by Santa Anna when he was captured at San Jacinto. By the time the Mexican American war started, Texas had been a state for four months.
Victim pimping is all Democrats do unless it is supporting Native Americans who they don’t give a tinker’s damn about. Donald J. Trump is the only one trying to help Native Americans, especially with his new E.O. that the legacy media has gone out of its way to ignore.
Butterlegs and Barber the Stupid brothers sit side by side looking like the total jerks they are
