A Democrat state congressman who identifies as a “transgender woman” has argued that illegal aliens are desperately needed in the United States because “white people” are incapable of building anything.
Minnesota state Rep. Leigh Finke, a Democrat man, made the case while speaking on the Minnesota House floor on Monday.

“We have worked so hard to become a magnet for people from foreign countries,” he began. “We are desperate to be a magnet for people from foreign countries. Do you want to solve your labor shortages? Do you want to grow the economy? Do you want to see more businesses created that develop the future of Minnesota’s communities?”
“Do you know who does that work? It ain’t white people from the U.S. I’m sorry. Our track record on building new things in this country … it ain’t whites. It’s people from other countries,” he added.
Finke’s remarks prompted massive backlash, with critics excoriating him for smearing white people when he probably relies on them for so much.
Pretty sure he will seek out a white male surgeon to build him a vagina

Well, if he can’t figure out something as basic as the fact he’s a man do you really expect him to understand complex topics like immigration and economics?

White people built and now maintain the entire Western World. You can hate them if you please, but I wouldn’t recommend throwing out the baby with the bath water.

Maybe if he wasn’t so focused on trying to have kids mutilate themselves and focus on what pronouns they want to be called today, those “white” kids would be able to focus on learning how to make things.

You see, trans are not only just confused about who or what they are, they don’t know shit about anything else either. Hey @TheDemocrats are you going to continue to support this insanity? If so, do NOT expect to get anywhere close to power again. @RahmEmanuel

Finke is infamous for his controversial remarks and behavior. Two years ago, he introduced a bill to stop excluding pedophiles from the definition of LGBT used to confer protected status to gays.
According to USA Today, the bill proposed removing the following line from the definition: “‘Sexual orientation’ does not include a physical or sexual attachment to children by an adult.”
This proposed removal spurred accusations that Finke was trying to grant special protections to the pedophile community:
BREAKING: A transgender representative in Minnesota has introduced a bill that will remove the exclusion of pedophiles from the protected class of “sexual orientation.”
This means it will be illegal to discriminate against child rapists.

Finke denied this.
“Nothing in the bill changes or weakens any crimes against children, or the state’s ability to prosecute those who break the law,” he said at the time. “Of course, pedophilia is not a sexual orientation, which is why the language never should have been included in the statutory definition in the first place.”
Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, a rabid Democrat, eventually signed the bill into law on May 19, 2023.
Finke also has an alleged history of verbally accosting his co-workers:

In 2023, state Rep. Dawn Gillman accused Finke of having verbally accosted her on the Minnesota House floor for having shared a tweet on X from Gays Against Groomers.
Finke “yelled at and intimidated” her, Gillman told Alpha News.
“My interaction on Wednesday evening with Rep. Finke left me shaken and fearing for my personal safety,” she added. “Instead of coming to talk to me, I was yelled at and intimidated on the House Floor.”
