Rep. Jasmine Crockett, the Democrat diva congresswoman from Texas, made headlines during a speech at a church event, where she argued that the United States relies on illegal immigrants to fill essential labor roles. Her comments sparked backlash, highlighting the ongoing debate over immigration policy in the country.
During an anniversary celebration at Grace Baptist Church, Crockett stated, “We done picking cotton,” suggesting that many Black Americans are unwilling to take on labor-intensive jobs “traditionally filled by immigrants.” This comment was part of a broader critique of the Trump administration’s common sense immigration policies, which she believes have negatively impacted the economy and the labor market.
“So, I had to go around the country and educate people about what immigrants do for this country, or the fact that we are a country of immigrants. The fact is ain’t none of y’all trying to go and farm right now,” Crockett said.
“OK, so I’m lying?” You’re not! You’re not! We done picking cotton! We are. You can’t pay us enough to find a plantation,” she continued as the crowd hesitated to respond.

The comments were not the first racist and ignorant public declarations from the congresswoman who frequently gives off Jerry Spinger vibes.
Crockett has previously stated that entering the U.S. illegally is “not a crime,” a claim that contradicts federal law, which classifies it as a misdemeanor. Her comments have led to discussions about potential censure in Congress, as some lawmakers view her statements as inflammatory and irresponsible.
