Part 3/7:
Inviting Americans to take up work previously done by immigrant labor, the president passionately encouraged citizens to engage in what he termed the “Brown jobs.” This provocative term appears to strip away the complex socio-economic discussions surrounding labor, instead prioritizing a binary view of immigration and job availability.
The president’s call to action reflects a broader narrative populating today's political climate: the need for Americans to return to the workforce. He humorously—yet unsettlingly—shared personal anecdotes of his daily responsibilities, which underscored not only a sense of pride in American labor but also a sharp irony regarding his own lifestyle.
