Representative Anna Paulina Luna (R-FL) did not mince words in dismissing Democratic rhetoric about illegal immigration in a recent appearance on Fox Business's Evening Edit, saying they "do not care about illegals" and that their words are "propaganda for the midterms."
Rep. Luna said the talk of "concentration camps" and "disappearing/kidnapping people" is "simply not true" and is because Democrats are "still trying to recover from the last election, where they lost not just national popular vote but also the Electoral College."
"They do not actually care about Hispanic Americans," Rep. Luna continued, adding, "they do not care about illegals. If they did, they would want to fight what was happening at the border with trafficking, and they would support a border wall, but they do not. So this is nothing more than propaganda for the midterms. They are running on this instead of BLM (Black Lives Matter), which is what they ran on previously to 2020. They are running on immigration, and it is not going to work."
The host agreed that there was "a lot of obfuscation" surrounding Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) arrests, describing various criminals from different countries being arrested, yet little attention is paid to them.
"There is a reason why they are not talking about this," the Florida Congresswoman replied, "You are not seeing Democrats go out there and say, 'We are arresting Jamaican nationals. We are arresting people from China that are here illegally, that are bringing in agro-bioweapons to kill Americans in farm produce.' They are not talking about that."
The reason why, Luna explained, was because "the largest voting minority in the country are Americans, specifically those of Mexican descent. And that is exactly why you are seeing the footage strategically placed."
"And what I will tell you is that it is egregiously offensive that they try to say that only illegals are Hispanic," Luna concluded. "Because in actuality, we know that there have been Chinese military-age males coming here. There have been people from the Middle East and Africa, but they are not talking about that."
