Jesse Watters checked on Joy Reid after her social media post on migrants benefiting the U.S. due to a low birth rate among citizens.
Reid argued for the positive impact of illegal immigration and criticized Alabama Senator Tommy Tuberville.
A recent Alabama court ruling recognized fertilized embryos as persons, with Democrats viewing it as a Republican attempt to control pregnancies.
“Your party, Senator Tuberville, is the one screaming that 10 million immigrants – which I don’t even know if that number makes any sense because it doesn’t – have streamed into the country since Joe Biden has been president,” Joy Reid said.
“There was a time when Alabama needed more kids because, you know, Alabama was a slave state,” she said, “and the mandate of the planter class in Alabama was for Black women to produce more kids because those kids were property. Are you saying the ‘we’ is White folks need more kids?”
“A country with a low birth rate is a failing country. I think you’d know that Joy, since you’re a mom of three,” Jesse Watters joked.
Trump supports in-vitro fertilization and family growth, contrasting with Biden’s campaign linking the ruling to Trump’s Supreme Court appointments and impact on women.
“Under my leadership, the Republican Party will always support the creation of strong, thriving, healthy American families. We want to make it easier for mothers and fathers to have babies, not harder!” Trump wrote.
“Trump cannot run from his record and neither can the millions of women who his actions have hurt,” President Joe Biden’s campaign manager Julie Chavez Rodriguez said.
