House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said that Floridian farmers need illegal immigrants in their state to “pick the crops” during a press conference Friday.
“Right now the best thing we can do for our economy is to have comprehensive immigration reform.
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,” Pelosi said.
“But that doesn’t mean that we don’t recognize our moral responsibility to as well,” she added.
