<p>House Speaker <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/nancy-pelosi" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Nancy Pelosi</a> (D-CA) faced backlash Friday afternoon after she was accused of exploiting migrants for cheap labor by stating at a press conference that migrants were needed to “pick the crops.”</p>
<p>Pelosi’s comments were in apparent reference to Florida Governor Ron DeSantis (R) sending 50 illegal aliens to Martha’s Vineyard earlier this month, a move that enraged the political Left.</p>
<p>“Right now, the best thing that we can do for our economy is comprehensive immigration reform,” Pelosi said. “We have a shortage of workers in our country, and you see even in Florida, some of the farmers and the growers saying: ‘Why are you shipping these immigrants up north? We need them to pick the crops down here.’”</p>
<p>Pelosi&#8217;s remarks generated some of the following responses from notable figures:</p>
<ul>
<li>Rep. Andy Biggs (R-AZ): “It’s clear Pelosi and Democrats are exploiting illegal aliens and only view them as cheap labor. This is what real racism looks like.”</li>
<li>Caleb Hull, digital strategist: &#8220;I want you to imagine for a second what would happen if Trump said &#8216;we need the immigrants down south to pick our crops&#8217; instead of Pelosi.&#8221;</li>
<li>Miranda Devine, author: &#8220;Apart from the fact she can&#8217;t speak properly, and is nasty, it&#8217;s illegal to employ illegal migrants. It&#8217;s also disastrous for a country not to make a distinction between legal and illegal migration. At least we have less than six weeks left of this piece of Pelosi.&#8221;</li>
<li>Will Cain, Fox News host: &#8220;So this isn’t racist? No? Is it because she’s a Democrat? Also, yes she sounds like a plantation owner, but what she’s advocating for is literally illegal!&#8221;</li>
<li>Rich Lowry, author: &#8220;A massive and uncontrolled wave of illegal immigration isn’t a solution to anything, but this is how they think.&#8221;</li>
<li>The Federation for American Immigration Reform: &#8220;For Democrats, mass immigration checks two boxes: 1. More future voters 2. Cheap foreign labor.&#8221;</li>
</ul>
