Democrat Leader Claims Illegal Immigration Is “Not a Crime”
Democrat Leader Claims Illegal Immigration Is “Not a Crime”

America’s dictionary publishers must be working overtime these days. Every week brings a fresh Democratic attempt to redefine basic words we all thought we understood. Legal becomes illegal. Safe becomes dangerous. Up becomes down.

The party that once claimed to champion “law and order” now spends its energy explaining why laws don’t actually mean what they clearly state. It’s like watching a toddler with chocolate all over their face insist they never touched the cookie jar.

Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-TX) delivered the latest head-scratching moment during an MSNBC appearance when she boldly declared that entering America illegally isn’t actually against the law. Yes, you read that correctly.

From ‘The Post Millennial’:
Texas Representative Jasmine Crockett is facing criticism after falsely stating on MSNBC that entering the US illegally is “not a crime.”

“It is not a criminal violation to enter the country illegally… it’s not a crime.”

“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,” Crockett added, in reference to President Donald Trump.

The Texas congresswoman didn’t stop there. She claimed Republican officials are 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 sex abusers.”

When “Illegal” Isn’t Illegal Anymore

Senator Mike Lee quickly fact-checked Crockett’s bizarre claim by citing the actual U.S. Code that explicitly makes illegal entry a criminal offense punishable by imprisonment. Turns out, the word “illegal” in “illegal immigration” isn’t just a stylistic choice.

This isn’t a complex legal technicality that requires a law degree to understand. Federal law clearly states that entering the country unlawfully can result in both criminal and civil penalties. It’s literally in the name – illegal immigration.

But facts don’t seem to matter much in the Democratic playbook anymore. When reality becomes inconvenient, just redefine it! Problem solved.

The Real Cost of Democratic Doublespeak

While Crockett plays word games on cable news, Americans are paying the price for this deliberate confusion. Just last month, ICE arrested four illegal immigrants in Washington with convictions or charges related to sexual assault – including one individual charged with child rape.

These aren’t hypothetical scenarios or fear-mongering. These are real crimes with real victims that could have been prevented with proper border enforcement and respect for existing immigration laws.

Trump border czar Tom Homan didn’t mince words about the scale of this crisis: “At last count we had almost 600,000 illegal aliens in the United States with a criminal conviction. I won’t be happy until we eradicate every one of those.”

America First vs. America Last

The contrast couldn’t be clearer. The Trump administration is focused on removing criminal illegal immigrants who pose genuine threats to American communities. Their priority is protecting American citizens – a novel concept in today’s political landscape.

Meanwhile, Democrats like Crockett are busy trying to convince Americans that illegal things aren’t actually illegal. She even had the audacity to call President Trump “the biggest criminal we have ever seen go into the White House” – a tired deflection tactic that’s becoming all too predictable.

When Democrats can’t defend their policies, they resort to redefining words, changing the subject, or hurling accusations. It’s a strategy that might work on friendly media outlets but falls apart when confronted with reality.

Key Takeaways:

  • Texas Democrat is now claiming illegal immigration “is not a crime” despite clear federal statutes.
  • ICE reports nearly 600,000 illegal immigrants with criminal convictions currently in the United States.
  • While in power, Democrats let in millions of illegals and millions of dollars worth of deadly drugs.
