Rep. Jasmine Crockett, the freshman Democrat from Texas, has once again landed herself in hot water—and this time she seems genuinely puzzled why Americans are outraged at her latest comments. In a recent Instagram video, Crockett lamented that mass deportations from the United States might negatively impact other countries, worrying aloud, “How would they feel?” Well, Representative Crockett, here’s a news flash: Americans are far more concerned with how uncontrolled illegal immigration affects our nation, our communities, and our families—not how it impacts foreign governments.
Crockett’s bizarre sympathy for other nations comes at a moment when President Trump’s America First immigration policies are finally reversing the catastrophic border crisis left behind by Joe Biden and the radical left. The Biden years unleashed chaos on America’s southern border, with millions of illegal migrants pouring into our country unchecked—a humanitarian, economic, and criminal disaster. Now with Trump back in the Oval Office, we finally have a commander-in-chief restoring law and order, securing our borders, and deporting those who entered our country illegally.
But according to Rep. Crockett, deporting people who violated our laws amounts to “randomly kidnapping folks” and trampling their “constitutional rights.” This isn’t just hyperbole—it’s dangerous misinformation. Illegal immigrants who cross our borders unlawfully have no constitutional right to remain here, period. Crockett’s outrageous comments reveal either a shocking ignorance of basic immigration law or a deliberate attempt to gaslight the American people.
Republican lawmakers didn’t hold back in calling Crockett out. Rep. Mark Harris (R-NC) fired back on social media, pointing out the glaringly obvious reality: “Other countries have been ‘just throwing people randomly’ into our country for decades, Rep. Crockett.” Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) added, “She is literally one never-ending campaign ad.” Greene’s right—Crockett’s pandering might play well with radical activists, but it insults hardworking Americans who have to live with the consequences of an open border.
The context here matters. Crockett made these comments while flanked by notorious left-wing agitators Rep. Eric Swalwell (D-CA) and Rep. Pramila Jayapal (D-WA), who have long advocated for open borders and amnesty. She accused Republicans of voting to give President Trump the authority to deport U.S. citizens—another blatant falsehood. Homeland Security spokesperson Tricia McLaughlin clarified that a recent case Crockett cited involved a U.S. citizen child deported alongside her noncitizen mother only because the mother chose to take her children back to Honduras. This was not some sinister plot; it was a mother’s choice.
What Crockett and her progressive allies refuse to acknowledge is that Trump’s immigration policy isn’t some cruel vendetta—it’s simple common sense. The recent Republican-backed budget bill rightly includes funding for the border wall, nearly 20,000 new border officers, and plans to deport a million illegal immigrants annually. Americans overwhelmingly support secure borders, legal immigration, and enforcing the rule of law. They see the tragedies that unchecked migration has inflicted on American communities—overwhelmed hospitals, strained schools, increased crime—and demand action.
This isn’t Crockett’s first misstep by a long shot. Earlier this year, she crudely referred to Texas Governor Greg Abbott as “Governor Hot Wheels,” mocking his disability. She later claimed her words were misunderstood, but Americans saw clearly her true character. Crockett also suggested that Elon Musk should be “taken down” and joked that Senator Ted Cruz should be “knocked over the head, like, hard.” These aren’t the comments of a serious legislator—they’re the juvenile tantrums of a political extremist.
At a time when America finally has bold, decisive leadership restoring our sovereignty, Crockett has chosen to side with foreign governments and illegal migrants over her own constituents. Texans—and all Americans—deserve representatives who prioritize our safety, prosperity, and sovereignty. It’s time voters send a clear message: America First isn’t just a slogan; it’s a necessity. And politicians like Jasmine Crockett, who put other countries above their own, have no place representing the American people.
