Democrat on CNN Warns GOP Will Pay Price for Deporting the People who Pick Blueberries for Smoothies

Democratic strategist Jenna Arnold declared that she couldn’t wait for the GOP to pay a political price for deporting illegal immigrants who pick blueberries for women’s smoothies on CNN NewsNight Tuesday.

Her take followed one from senior political commentator Scott Jennings, who submitted that employers who “are trying to actively hire illegal immigrants,” should face consequences.

“Employers and anyone else who’s part of this pipeline, I think they ought to be put on notice. And you got to play by the rules,” said Jennings.

“And I don’t want to hear that they’re doing work that no one else will do,” agreed former Trump administration official Bill Stepien. “Talk to guys in the building trades, plumbers, contractors-

“Picking strawberries,” interjected Arnold. “I mean, like I can’t wait, I can’t wait-, I can’t wait until American women can’t get blueberries for their smoothies. I cannot wait until there is a full crackdown on all small businesses, as if that’s going to be the solution to the immigration problem. It is just going to put immigration related issues further into the darker corners. We’re not going to see them, it’s just going to become even harder to solve the problem. It doesn’t make sense to punish individuals and people when there is a broken system.”

“Well, I mean look, I think if you came here illegally and you knowing you came-, you know, you did it. You know you broke the law. You know, you have to understand it’s a new day in America,” said Jennings. “And number two, I still think the case for total economic collapse, if we have some deportation is totally overstated. I mean, it’s obvious the priority is violent criminals. And the second priority is people with existing deportation orders. I think that’s the vast majority of what’s going to go on, you know, for the next couple of years. And I don’t think that’s going to have any impact on the economy at all.”
