Dem Rep. Jonathan Jackson: Migrants ‘Were Met with Whips’ and if They Weren’t, It Was ‘Far Cry’ from Statue of Liberty
Breitbart ^ | 04/09/2024 | Ian hatchett

Posted on 04/09/2024 6:43:21 PM PDT by ChicagoConservative27

On Tuesday’s broadcast of the Fox News Channel’s “America Reports,” Rep. Jonathan Jackson (D-IL) claimed that Haitians trying to come to the U.S. “were met with whips and chains from like a bygone era and turned away.” Jackson later acknowledged after being corrected that Border Patrol agents didn’t whip migrants, but it “was a far cry from give me your poor, your tired, your huddled masses that yearn to breathe free.”

Jackson stated, “We’ve got a gentleman named Barbecue…in Haiti. … We can’t go in there and shore up what should be our longest, oldest ally in this hemisphere, Haiti, to bring stability? … And then we saw what happened when Haitians tried to come to the United States, they were met with whips and chains from like a bygone era and turned away.”

They’re still claiming that the illegal aliens got hit with whips?

If one looks up the definition of MORON, there’s probably a picture of this jackass.

Plenty of meat on the bones of Jesse Jackson’s other son to keep “Barbecue” satisfied for a while . . .

These people are NOT legal immigrants. They break our law the minute they step foot in our country illegally.,

It’s like some low IQ idiot thinking a loved guest coming to your home and a criminal burglar breaking in are the same. They are NOT the same. .

Jonathan Jackson (D-IL) is a fool.

This UNEDUCATED man has less than NO idea what he's talking about!

Haiti was NEVER "our ally"!

The U.S. Army first went into Haiti to stabilize it from 1915-1934.

Then the UN sent people in in 1993 and American troops went in the following year...1994.

The tablet on the Statue of Liberty was written long after the French sent it to us, in pieces, and that poem ( which was an entry to a CONTEST and her poem won ) was put onto it in 1903! And at THAT time, it was for the LEGAL immigrants, many of whom were sent back home ( due to illness, no money, and/or no sponsor here to help take care of them, a criminal record! ) who were NOT illegal looking for FREE STUFF!

Jackson is an IMBECILE!

The Statue of Liberty is NOT Statute of liberty -— it’s not a law.
