Rep. Jasmine Crockett, D-Texas, said on Saturday that illegally entering the country was "not a crime" despite being in violation of federal law.
On MSNBC’s "The Katie Phang Show," the Texas Democrat discussed her recent performance at a House committee hearing on sanctuary city policies last week. She used the time to explain to the audience that illegally entering the country was not a "crime" but a "civil accusation," meaning illegal immigrants are not criminals.
"[Republicans] are so outraged by these immigrants and the crime that they’re bringing. And not to mention, city law enforcement, local law enforcement, they are always going after crime," Crockett said. "And they don’t say, ‘oh, you committed a murder, oh, but you’re an immigrant. Well, let me let you go.’ Right? So they are always focused on crime."
She added, "They continue to say things like ‘the illegals’ and that they broke the law coming in. But what they’re not telling the American people is that it is a civil violation. It is not a criminal violation to enter the country illegally. It’s not. It’s not criminal. It’s not a crime. It’s not a crime. Which is why they’re so frustrated, because they really want our local law enforcement to go out and round up people when they could be looking out for the murderers and the sexual abusers, as well as the robbers. They want them to go and round people up on civil accusations."
Improper entry into the United States is considered a federal misdemeanor crime in violation of 8 USC 1325, punishable by fines and up to six months in jail for first-time offenders. Repeat offenders can be subjected to fines and up to two years in prison.

That's 85% of the votes, not 85% of the public in her district. In most of these Democrat sewers, voters don't bother to vote because it's so corrupt.
Until we have "none of the above" on each and every ballot, we'll continue to have selections, not elections.

Crockett makes AOC sound like a genius by comparison.
If illegals trended Republican, that hood rat would be singing a different tune.
It should be a crime to be that stupid and retain a leadership role, elected or otherwise.
This bitch puts on the “Hood” act to pander to ignorant democrat voters, she came from a well off family, is highly educated and more than capable of speaking proper english. So in other words, she’s a democrat turd.
There needs to be a deep dive into how someone so ignorant of the law could have graduated with a JD and passed the bar.
Obviously.
Jasmine’s an idiot as are the people who put this idiot into office. Jasmine probably listened to that other idiot, Hank Johnson, talk about a capsizing Guam and thought, “He’s right! We need to act now!”
She gave a brilliant legal analysis—for someone with an IQ below room temperature.
This is what you get when you send someone who’s I.Q. is the same as someone who dropped out of kindergarten to Congress to shoot off her big mouth and declare herself as being the RATS’ new “rising star”.

Should be a federal felony, and/or subject to invasion repulsion.
Has she even read the laws? They are illegal aliens. Gripes me when they use different names, then act like the rest of us are wrong.
assuming Kamala, Gavin, and a couple dozen other ‘personalities’ aren’t available as 2028 tackling dummies.

Add in Walz, Slotkin, (maybe AOC?).
