‘I love it when they’re dumb enough to accidentally admit the truth.’
“I’m from Brooklyn, New York. We have a diaspora that can absorb a significant number of these migrants,” said Clarke in the video.

Video of the comment went viral on social media earlier this week, and a longer video of the entire exchange from 2021 is also available online.
The open admission that Democrats needed migrants in order to strengthen their political control was lambasted by many on social media.
“The liberal border policy has always been about apportionment and gerrymandering and boosting the electoral college by inviting illegal immigrants to be counted in the Census. It’s perfectly constitutional to NOT count them for those purposes,” responded former U.S. Attorney for the Northern District of Alabama Jay Town.
“The hypocrisy is staggering. … These politicians will sell out the very principles they claim to uphold just to cling to power. It’s disgusting, and it’s a clear sign of a party that knows it can’t win on merit alone,” replied one detractor.
“I love it when they’re dumb enough to accidentally admit the truth,” said another account.

The deportation efforts of the Trump administration are likely to increase greatly after Republicans passed the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, which included billions in extra funding for Immigration and Customs Enforcement.
