During a speech at a Baptist church in Connecticut, Rep. Jasmine Crockett made it clear—she doesn’t support deporting illegal immigrants.
Why? Watch for yourself:
Jasmine Crockett: “So I had to go around the country and educate people about what immigrants do for this country… The fact is ain't none of y'all trying to go and farm right now… We done picking cotton.”
Oof.

According to Crockett, illegal immigrants should stay because, in her words, “We done picking cotton.”
Translation: Keep them here to work for cheap and do the jobs Americans won’t—because apparently, that’s their role in her America.
It’s a stunningly tone-deaf take from a congresswoman who loves to play up her “street” credentials while she enjoyed the perks of an elite private education. The act is wearing thin—and frankly, so are the excuses.
Stop pretending. Start doing your job.
