Phyllis Schlafly is infamous in the conservative world for her obvious conservative thoughts. Today, she endorsed Donald Trump but also chimed in on how to ban foreigners from the MLB.
Donald Trump has been flourishing this week in the endorsement category. Ben Carson endorsed him and now, 91-year old conservative activist Phyllis Schlafly has also endorsed Donald Trump. However, Schlafly decided to chime on something that she has no business in chiming. She wants to ban foreigners from the MLB.
In an interview with Eagle Forum, she decided to vent about these baseball players who weren’t born here. You can listen to the clip here but here are just some of the things she said.
More than a quarter of Major League Baseball players today are foreign-born, with whom our youth are less likely to identify. Some of these players cannot speak English, and they did not rise through the ranks of Little League. These foreign-born players enter on visas and take positions that should have gone to American players.
Was she done? She wasn’t.
Baseball owners are doing the same thing that big corporations do – bring in foreign labor to take jobs that should go to Americans. American baseball players are better, as the awards and Hall of Fame prove, but perhaps baseball owners think that foreign players are cheaper and easier to control.
It is time to cut off visas for foreign baseball players, and return our National Pastime to Americans.
In case she hasn’t seen some of the mega contracts that some of these players have gotten, they’re far from cheap. As I listened to her clip, there’s only one person I thought of as she was speaking. She sounded a lot like Clayton Bigsby, who was a character on Chappelle’s Show.
