Jasmine Crockett says illegal immigration 'is not a crime'
 
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?"

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address

Damn!  I think she plagiarized a speech by Jefferson Davis on why slaves were needed. :whistle:

She sees herself as some sort of modern-day Scarlett O'Hara.
