The Joe Rogan Experience
#2461 - Robert F. Kennedy, Jr.

During the last 10 years of his life, I worked very closely with Cesar Chavez.

The Joe Rogan Experience
#2461 - Robert F. Kennedy, Jr.

I worked with him.

The Joe Rogan Experience
#2461 - Robert F. Kennedy, Jr.

He had two issues.

The Joe Rogan Experience
#2461 - Robert F. Kennedy, Jr.

He had pesticides, which were a huge issue with him, and that's what I worked with him on, on the dangers that, you know, his workers were experiencing from pesticides.

The Joe Rogan Experience
#2461 - Robert F. Kennedy, Jr.

And the other issue he had was immigration.

The Joe Rogan Experience
#2461 - Robert F. Kennedy, Jr.

He wanted to shut down the border.

The Joe Rogan Experience
#2461 - Robert F. Kennedy, Jr.

Because he saw the way that it was impairing this huge influx of illegal immigration across the board.

The Joe Rogan Experience
#2461 - Robert F. Kennedy, Jr.

It was impairing his ability to bargain, to leverage good wages and conditions for his workers.

The Joe Rogan Experience
#2461 - Robert F. Kennedy, Jr.

When I grew up, the Democratic Party was against immigration and it was the Republican Party who wanted it because the big corporations wanted cheap labor.

The Joe Rogan Experience
#2461 - Robert F. Kennedy, Jr.

The Chamber of Commerce was firmly embedded in the Republican Party and they were all about open borders.

The Joe Rogan Experience
#2461 - Robert F. Kennedy, Jr.

A, the Chamber of Commerce is with the Democratic Party.

The Joe Rogan Experience
#2461 - Robert F. Kennedy, Jr.

And so it's one of these switches that is kind of inexplicable to me.

The Joe Rogan Experience
#2461 - Robert F. Kennedy, Jr.

But I think, again, it happened because President Trump said, I'm going to fix it with a wall.

The Joe Rogan Experience
#2461 - Robert F. Kennedy, Jr.

And that became, you know, it suddenly became open borders, suddenly became...

The Joe Rogan Experience
#2461 - Robert F. Kennedy, Jr.

a calling card for the Democratic Party.

The Joe Rogan Experience
#2461 - Robert F. Kennedy, Jr.

But there's a reason, you know, and I see it in my agency, the cause that it's imposing on our country and, you know, on health care, diminishing health care for Americans and housing and jobs and all of these places where it hurts that we need workers in here and we need legal immigrants in here.

The Joe Rogan Experience
#2461 - Robert F. Kennedy, Jr.

But they should come in legally and every country has to do that.

The Joe Rogan Experience
#2461 - Robert F. Kennedy, Jr.

President Trump ran on this issue.

The Joe Rogan Experience
#2461 - Robert F. Kennedy, Jr.

He's nowβ€”and he ran that he's going to enforce and deport particularly the bad people.

The Joe Rogan Experience
#2461 - Robert F. Kennedy, Jr.

This is what you don't hear.
