Mayor Pete Buttigieg has gone off the deep end with the proposal he made during the Democratic debate on Thursday night when he proposed paying reparations to illegal aliens who flaunted our laws in coming here.
So, let me get this straight. The US taxpayer is expected to shell out $22 trillion dollars to illegal aliens after we have already spent $132 billion a year for their upkeep including medical, schooling and welfare benefits every year.
Buttigieg, who is having major trouble in attracting Black voters is willing to commit to paying reparations to illegal aliens but would not make the same commitment to paying reparations for slavery.
That should go over like a lead balloon.
In fact, Blacks will pay the same oppressive taxes required to pay for illegal aliens as white people will.
That has a certain twisted logic to it.
Blacks were brought to this country against their will and the illegal aliens have come here against our will.
All they had to do to avoid the :cruelty” of our immigration policies is to stay home.
Once they decide to break our laws about immigration, they and they alone are responsible for being detained.
“We have a moral obligation to make right what was broke,” Buttigieg said, proceeding to claim his tenure as mayor had thought him about the necessity of reforming the country’s immigration system.
When pressed further, the mayor asserted his commitment to reparations for illegal aliens, but stopped short of extending the same compensation to descendants of slavery.
Buttigieg, in particular, touted his support for federal legislation creating a commission to study the feasibility of reparations for black Americans.
The mayor, however, did not say he favored such compensation, arguing the legacy of slavery was monetarily immeasurable.
He said:
We’re talking about mending what was broke. We’re talking about the generational theft of the wealth of generations of African Americans and just crossing out a racist policy and replacing it with a neutral one is not enough to deliver a fallen harms compound just like $1 saved in its value compounds over time.
“So what is the value of $1 stolen,” Buttigieg added, before suggesting the U.S. government invest in minority owned business and historically black universities instead.
