Democrat Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett made headlines this week by claiming it’s “not a crime” to enter America illegally. Her comments sparked outrage as conservatives pointed out she’s flat-out wrong. Federal law clearly states that illegal border crossing is a criminal offense, but Crockett keeps pushing the idea that it’s just a “civil violation.” This isn’t just dumb—it’s dangerous.
Crockett argued that local police should focus on “murderers and sexual abusers” instead of rounding up illegal immigrants. She called Republicans hypocrites for supporting immigration enforcement while backing former President Trump. But here’s the problem: Title 8 U.S. Code 1325 makes illegal entry a misdemeanor punishable by jail time. Repeat offenders face even harsher penalties. Crockett either doesn’t understand basic laws or is lying to protect open borders.
Critics blasted Crockett’s ignorance. Commentator Alex Stein said her remarks prove you don’t need an IQ test to get elected. He joked that the more she talks, the dumber she sounds. Even border officials confirmed her claims are false. Instead of fixing the crisis, Democrats like Crockett are rewriting reality to excuse lawbreaking.
This isn’t just about words—it’s about actions. Crockett’s district in South Dallas deals with real crime daily. Yet she wants police to ignore federal immigration laws. Her priorities are backwards. While Americans suffer from fentanyl overdoses and gang violence, she’s focused on defending illegal immigrants instead of citizens.
Crockett’s comments fit a pattern. Democrats keep downplaying the border disaster. They call enforcement “racist” and push sanctuary cities that protect criminals. Now they’re gaslighting Americans by pretending illegal entry isn’t illegal. It’s a slap in the face to legal immigrants who followed the rules.
The congresswoman even compared Republicans supporting Trump to backing “the biggest criminal.” This childish name-calling distracts from her party’s failures. Under Biden, millions poured over the border unchecked. Rapes, drug smuggling, and gang activity surged. Crockett’s fantasy laws won’t stop the chaos.
Conservatives know the truth: weak border policies endanger everyone. Letting illegal immigrants roam free risks public safety and rewards lawlessness. Crockett’s lies expose how radical her party has become. They’d rather virtue-signal than fix the mess they created.
Americans deserve leaders who respect the law. Crockett’s remarks show Democrats care more about political games than national security. Until they get serious about enforcement, the border crisis will keep getting worse. It’s time to vote out politicians who put illegal immigrants before citizens.
