Jasmine Crockett Claims Entering America Illegally is ‘Not a Crime’
Democrat firebrand Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-TX) has once again sparked controversy after incorrectly stating on MSNBC that entering the United States illegally is not a crime, despite federal law clearly defining it as a criminal offense.
During an appearance on MSNBC with host Katie Phang, Crockett made the disputed claim, stating, “It is not a criminal violation to enter the country illegally… it’s not a crime.”
She further suggested that Republican officials want local law enforcement to “round up people when they could be looking out for the murderers and the sex abusers.”
Crockett also directed criticism at President Donald Trump, saying, “Don’t give me this fake outrage about criminals roaming our streets when you guys stand ten toes down for the biggest criminal we have ever seen go into the White House.”
Under federal law, unauthorized entry into the United States is indeed classified as a criminal offense because it is punishable by imprisonment.
Individuals who enter the country unlawfully can face both criminal and civil penalties under current immigration laws.
Resist the Mainstream reported that Crockett issued a scathing rebuke against Trump last week, claiming he is an “enemy” of the U.S. “As far as I am concerned, he is an enemy to the United States,” she said during an interview with MSNBC.
“He swore an oath just like the rest of us, but right now, when you are literally putting us at risk because you want to convince your followers that you should be a dictator too, that you should never leave the White House? Because you don’t believe that elections should take place? I don’t really understand what is going on, and I don’t know what it’s going to take to get people to wake up,” she claimed.
