And here is yet another reason why Meet the Press has gone from the number one Sunday “news show” to nothing more than a walking joke and lowest rated. Chuckles Todd thinks we need more illegal migrants in this country and that it would solve inflation.
Just don’t put them in Chuck Todd’s rich neighborhood. You know, they don’t have the space or infrastructure like Martha’s Vineyard or something.
Multimillionaire Chuck Todd has never lived in the real world and he made it painfully obvious that he’s oblivious to how the economy works during Sunday’s edition of Meet the Press on NBC. During his “data download” segment, Todd promised to explain “why immigrants crossing the border could actually be a solution to our inflation problem.”
When Todd did return from the commercial break, Todd managed to dismiss Republican Governors’ concerns about the record numbers of migrants crossing the border as well as give a pseudo economics lesson on migrants and job growth.
“Over the last few weeks, Republican Governors have been shipping asylum seekers to more liberal leaning Democratic enclaves. Trying to send a message that they think migrants are a political problem for Democrats,” Todd snarked at the opening of the segment.
“But in fact the data shows us that more migrants could actually help solve one of the country’s most pressing problems,” Todd added.
Pointing to his electronic board with statistics on it, Todd claimed that “even before the pandemic, migration in the United States had been slowing,” adding that “we started the last decade at almost 700,000 migrants coming into this country in 2010. We hit a peak of just over a million in 2016,” Todd noted.
