Rep. Jasmine Crockett suggests the United States needs illegal immigrants because 'we done picking cotton'

[Michie]

Rep. Jasmine Crockett, D-Texas, a member of the far-left group of progressive lawmakers known as "the Squad," told congregants at a historically Black church that America needs robust immigration because "we done picking cotton."

Crockett, who represents Texas's 30th Congressional District, made the remarks during Connecticut-based Grace Baptist Church's 125th anniversary celebration held over the weekend. The comments were part of Crockett's broader attempt to slam the Trump administration for cracking down on illegal immigration.

"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, garnering a sheepish laugh from a few members of the audience.

In my opinion, Rep. Jasmine Crockett wants to become one of the primary leaders in the Democratic Party. I say, go ahead and go for it, Congresswoman Crockett. The more you speak, the more Americans will realize just how radical you really are.

Agreed. I have no words. Her comment is beyond embarrassing.

Well I did my research & today most agriculture is mechanized. There may be some hanging fruit crops picked by hand but most ag today is mechanized. When the left uses this excuse--that we the people are so dependent on a subservient class of people to do such tasks--it really suggests slavery. Well it certainly would be slave wages. That would be a modern day equivalent. So the Democrats, the party that facilitated slavery, really can't get away from their roots. Here is an example that is so two-faced. We need these people. Really you want them to work for peanuts.
