From Fox News: David Bier, a Democrat-called witness at a Senate Budget Committee hearing Tuesday, drew a sharp rebuke from GOP Sen. John Kennedy of Louisiana after accusing the Trump administration of attempting a “population purge” in the U.S.
Earlier in the hearing, Bier, an immigration policy expert at the CATO Institute, argued that both legal and illegal aliens “are a benefit to this country” because they help to reduce the national deficit.
Kennedy ripped into Bier, asking, “What planet did you parachute in from? You trigger my gag reflex.”
Bier had just claimed that federal judges opposing President Donald Trump’s immigration enforcement operations “are much braver” than U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers.
Bier also wildly claimed of the Trump administration, “They’re trying to deport U.S.-born citizens, people born here, they are trying to deport them as well. So, it’s not a mass deportation agenda, it is also an agenda intended to reduce the population of the United States, including U.S.-born people.”
Touting that American needs more immigration, Bier cited the Social Security Administration as saying the US needs 35 million more workers.
“These are people who are showing up, they’re ready to work, they’re often prime age individuals who are ready to enter the labor force. So, it’s a huge benefit fiscally to the United States to have these people who want to contribute to our country,” Bier said, defending illegal aliens in the US.
WATCH the moment below when Kennedy calls out Bier for his brazen social media statements, and Bier defiantly defends his open-borders statements and claims the Trump administration is “unethical.”

Mr. Bier called Trump’s mass deportation plans “ethnic cleansing” and a “population purge agenda” on BlueSky. He even said judges blocking it are “braver” than ICE agents.
