CNN Democratic guest says women won't have blueberries for smoothies if illegal immigrants are deported

Democratic strategist Jenna Arnold warned that illegal immigrants are needed in America for tasks such as "picking strawberries."

Former Trump White House political director Bill Stephen tried to get ahead of any arguments that the U.S. economy needs illegal immigrants.

"I don't want to hear that they're doing work that no one else will do," he said. "Talk to guys in the building trades, plumbers, contractors-"

"Picking strawberries," Democratic strategist Jenna Arnold interjected.

"These building trades guys are being hurt by labor that shouldn't be here," Stephen replied.

Arnold continued her argument that cracking down on illegal immigration will have consequences felt across the country.

"I can't wait until American women can't get blueberries for their smoothies," she said. "I cannot wait until there is a full crackdown on all small businesses, as if that's going to be the solution to the immigration problem," she claimed. "It is just going to put immigration-related issues further into the darker corners. We're not going to see them. It's just going to become even harder to solve the problem. It doesn't make sense to punish individuals and people when there is a broken system."

Jennings argued such concerns are both a thing of the past and overstated.
