A resurfaced video clip appears to show Democratic Rep. Yvette Clarke, D-N.Y., claiming she needs more immigrants in her district “just for redistricting purposes."

"It is madness that American citizens are footing the bill for foreigners to come here, use our social services, our education services, our infrastructure, and then retire at our expense," Becker went on. "All because the anti-American Democratic Party wants a few extra seats in Congress. Enough!"

Popular conservative account "End Wokeness" also commented on the video, saying, "This is how you hijack democracy."

"Dems have been saying the quiet part out loud for years," commented conservative influencer David Freeman.

"This is why the imported MILLIONS. They want to have a one party country," he added.
