Katrina Pierson: Illegal Immigrants Are Moving Into Black Communities And Draining Resources

Katrina Pierson DESTROYS Wolf Blitzer On The Trump / Khan Drama

Trump spokeswoman Katrina Pierson appeared on CNN Monday morning and explained what the impact the campaign believes illegal immigrants are having on the black community. Pierson said illegals are "draining resources" in "black schools."

"We"ve seen black household family"s income even drop after affirmative action, even when you include population and inflation," Pierson said. "Mr. Trump has made education a top priority by getting rid of the monopoly that have trapped generations of black Americans in failed public schools."

"He wants families to make those education decisions because the great eliminator of poverty is an opportunity to have a good education," she said.

"Secondly, illegal immigration," Pierson said. "Something else that"s gone unchecked. These illegal immigrants are moving into black communities. They"re overcrowding black schools. Draining resources in black medical facilities and even in black churches. This is a problem. If you want federal involvement, it"s got to come to getting rid of the policies that have made it the way things are today."

The guest she was debating, Clinton supporter Bakari Sellers, called Pierson"s comments "borderline asinine."

"I can"t let Katrina"s statements, which were, like, borderline asinine, go unchecked," Sellers said. "This is not the issue that we"re having in this country. You can"t string together a series of ills and just flawed policy prescriptions and think that all of a sudden, voila, we"re going to have some fixes. That"s not the case at all. I don"t believe Trump has the capability to bring people together. He"s not a healer in chief."
