Alabama Senator says most recent immigrants are garbage. I wonder how that will impact the elections, given that everyone on the American continent is an immigrant or descendant of one. Thoughts?
Sen. Tommy Tuberville (R-Ala.) said Tuesday that most recent immigrants who have come across the U.S.-Mexico border are “garbage.”
Speaking to Larry Kudlow on Fox Business’s “Kudlow,” Tuberville segued from criticism of Vice President Harris as a presidential candidate to his views on immigration.
“I mean, how can you put somebody in charge of a situation where you let 15, possibly even 20 million people come into our country? Now some of these people are good, but most of them are garbage. They come from jails and prisons in other countries,” he said.
Tuberville repeated a series of false or misleading claims that have become Republican talking points, including the number of migrants who’ve come to the United States, Harris’s role in border management and the idea that Latin American countries are purposefully sending criminals to the border.
Customs and Border Protection (CBP) has reported about 8.4 million encounters with foreign nationals at the Southwest border from fiscal 2021 to fiscal 2024.
