Texas Democrat Jasmine Crockett just confirmed what the left refuses to say out loud—Democrats want illegal immigrants because they provide cheap labor for the jobs Americans supposedly won’t do.
During an interview with the 19th Podcast, Crockett made it crystal clear that she believes mass illegal immigration is essential for filling low-wage jobs, as reported by The Gateway Pundit.
She posed a question to the audience, asking if any of them expected their children to take on work like farm labor or hotel housekeeping. Unsurprisingly, no one raised their hand.

That’s when Crockett made her argument for mass amnesty, insisting America needs illegal immigrants to keep the system running.
She ranted:
“How many of you are sending your kids to college to go and work on… Okay, well, guess who is working the farms? So that you can afford your food. So that you can have food. Now, how many of you are looking to send your kids into hospitality after this college education so that they can go and make the beds at the hotels? How many of you are planning to send your kids to college, because that’s what we do here, we send everybody to college. How many of you are planning to send your kids to college, so that they can then go and build these houses? So the reality is that, so long as we live in a capitalist society, there’s always going to be someone, or a group of people, that will do work that some of the rest of y’all don’t want to do. These are the people that are really making us great in this country.”
Crockett, who attended an elite private school and is a trained lawyer, apparently thinks everyday Americans are incapable of working certain jobs without government-mandated labor replacements.

Her statements essentially boil down to a justification for keeping a permanent underclass of illegal workers while turning a blind eye to the destruction mass migration causes for American workers.
This isn’t the first time Crockett has made head-scratching statements. Earlier this month, she absurdly labeled President Donald Trump an “enemy to the United States” simply because he’s trying to broker peace in Ukraine instead of fueling endless war.
The left, of course, prefers forever wars, as long as their defense contractor donors are cashing in.

She also recently admitted that she’s cheering on Canada and Mexico over the U.S. as Trump ramps up trade negotiations. That’s right—an elected American official openly siding against her own country because she despises Trump that much.
And let’s not forget her long history of condescending takes on Trump supporters. Crockett has repeatedly implied that Americans who back Trump must be uneducated or too ignorant to grasp political issues.
Apparently, if you don’t fall in line with Democrat talking points, you’re just not intelligent enough in her book.
Crockett’s latest rant is just another example of the Democrat Party’s real agenda: open borders, cheap labor, and endless condescension toward working-class Americans. At least this time, she was honest about it.
