Democrat Rep. Jasmine Crockett Argues We Need Illegals Because “We Done Picking Cotton”

Far-left Democrat ‘Squad’ member Rep. Jasmine Crockett just admitted the real reason why she supports illegal immigration.

She wants illegal aliens to slave away in the fields for her.

Speaking at a black Baptist church in Connecticut, Rep. Crockett spoke about how she “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.”

When the congregation didn’t respond, she doubled down,

“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.”

Watch this for yourself:

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

Crockett made the argument that the U.S. needs immigrants for farming while speaking at Grace Baptist Church in Connecticut.

So, what I’m hearing is, leftists like Rep. Crockett want illegal immigrants who don’t have to be paid a fair wage to pick cotton for her.

How is that not just slavery?

“Reparations for the slavery we black people were released from 5 generations ago!!!”

Also…

“Bring in brown slaves to do the same work at slave wages because nobody here will do it.”https://t.co/Qhc6v3bP5g

Robby Starbuck explained it well:

Wow. @JasmineForUS says she wants illegals to pick cotton for her. That means that she wants slave wage workers who can’t complain about mistreatment because they’re illegal.

Democrats like Jasmine Crockett essentially support a new form of slavery. Evil.pic.twitter.com/wePbnqStsZ

Rep. Crocket’s controversial comments come as she is facing censure in the House of Representatives for calling Texas Gov. Greg Abbott, who is paralyzed and must use a wheelchair, “Hot Wheels.”

She really should learn to think before she speaks.

More from Fox News:

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.

“OK, so I’m lying?” Crockett shot back, noticing the awkward silence. “You’re not! You’re not! We done picking cotton! We are. You can’t pay us enough to find a plantation.”

Crockett’s weekend remarks are just the latest in a line of other questionable comments and controversies that have resulted in her facing possible censure in the House of Representatives.

One of those controversies occurred after she referred to Texas Gov. Greg Abbott, who is paralyzed and has been confined to a wheelchair for decades, as “Governor Hot Wheels.”

While Crockett attempted to walk back her comments after they drew nationwide backlash, she has exhibited a pattern of promoting remarks about Abbott “rolling places.”
