On CNBC's Squawk Box, JD Vance blamed all the problems of the country,
including inflation on migrants and claimed the US isn't the most
prosperous country in the world.

Vance's outward racist analogies about immigrants are monumentally dumb
and weird. Not to mention he has been a key component to promoting the
sick conspiracy that Haitians are stealing and eating pets in Ohio.

Let's debunk an often used lie by the Trump Vance campaign. President
Biden and Kamala Harris did not let in 25 million immigrants into the
country. These numbers count all undocumented worker that have been in
the country since 1990.

KERNEN: ...do you see the analysis that there have been positive
aspects for the jobs market and for the labor situation from immigration?

VANCE: I've certainly seen these reports, and look, for a generation,
Wall Street has said that the way to create prosperity in this country is
to flood the country with cheap labor and offsource our manufacturing to
places like China, which use cheap slave labor.

What that's actually led is to communities like Springfield, Ohio,
where you have 20,000 Haitians who have come in.

Housing costs are unaffordable, communicable diseases are on the
rise, and people can't afford to live a good life in this small Ohio
town. If the path to prosperity was flooding your nation with low-wage
immigrants, then Springfield, Ohio would be the most prosperous country
and the most prosperous city in the world.

Vance lied. Springfield has actually thrived since Haitian migrants came
to town.

VANCE: America would be the most prosperous country in the world,
because Kamala Harris has flooded the country with 25 million illegal
aliens. (BIG LIE)

What's actually happened is that over the past three and a half
years, while we've had this massive influx of illegal labor, what's
happened?

We've had skyrocketing inflation, lower take-home pay, Americans more
dissatisfied with the direction of the country and the economy than
they've been in a generation.

This is not the path to prosperity, no matter how much a Wall Street
bank says that it is.

America is the most prosperous country in the world, jackass. Immigrants
didn't cause inflation, it was the COVID pandemic, which led to supply
chain disruptions, along with price gouging that has skyrocketed
inflation. Coupled with Russia's immoral invasion of Ukraine that jacked
up energy prices.

Does Vance hate America that much?

Joe Kernen offered no push back or thoughts on these incredibly hateful,
and uniformed statements on the state of the US economy.

These people talk about patriotism, but they have the most
fundamentally pessimistic views of America of anyone. The only thing that
makes America worthwhile to them is cruelty. https://t.co/bDI0jne5lH

The U.S. economy is **$10 trillion** clear of the next closest nation
(China) and larger than every other country in the top 10 combined. Just
a fundamentally unserious person. https://t.co/5acBeigIUo
