Democratic Party rising star Rep. Jasmine Crockett, D-Texas, argued that Americans need illegal immigrants because they do the work that the college-educated in this country won't do.
Crockett reportedly made the comments while speaking at the South by Southwest (SXSW) festival on March 8.
In a video clip that went viral on Friday, Crockett made the point that Americans don't send their kids to college in the hope that they'll end up picking crops and cleaning hotel rooms, but that's what illegal immigrants do.
"How many of you are sending your kids to college?" Crockett asked the crowd. "How many of you are sending your kids to college to go and work on the farms?"
After no response, Crockett added, "Okay, so, guess who is working the farms so that you can afford your food? So that you can have food."
The congresswoman continued to make her point that Americans don't want their college-educated kids to provide these services and goods.
"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?" she asked.

She sounds just like John McCain and Karl Rove.
sounds like a racist statement to me!
so... Crockett is saying those are illegal alien jobs?
yep, racist.
oh how rich! a black woman claiming slavery is GOOD for the country. well America, YOU decide.
Who else is going to pick our cotton?!
She only cares that they pick chickens
Echoes of ... How we goin’ get our cotton picked? Damn them Republicans!
I kinda thought slavery was…like…bad.
Are these dem reps truly as stupid as they seem?
They must be DEI elected via fake ballots with their feet already in their mouths.
Dumba##es!
GB II “ doing the jobs, Americans don’t”
She was also the idiot who said these are “black jobs” but blacks are too good to do them. But not those Mexicans.
The only thing Jazzy proves every time she opens her mouth is how stupid she is.
Gee I heard the same argument about slavery “hey whose gonna pick the cotton “ i see dems are doing what they do best some things never change
She wants a permanent underclass of menial labor?
I’ll bet she cheats her way into being re-elected again and again until she’s dead.
Dumb C#nt.
How many here worked in the summer to pay their way through school?
Well..this dumb c@nt cant put two and two together.
How long ago was it that kids used to be let out of school to work weeding soybeans in Iowa and Ill..etc?
How long ago was it that kids used to work PICKING crops in season for processing plants?
All to make some money to pay their way through school!
I might be in favor of allowing for some loans for college if the kids went out and worked. Match them dollar for dollar or something.
GD that William Steiger.
You’d think the morons on the left never herd of the H-2A visa.
“rising star”???
This woman may barely achieve a room temperature IQ.
No permanent underclass. We uplift the children of the illegal immigrant underclass by affirmative action. Then we welcome the new illegals to do the next generation’s dirty work.
In perpetuity.
John McCain was stunned to learn Americans would pick crops for $50/hour.
