Sigh...
She is an embarrassment to Texas...
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.

Hell, she's an embarrassment to EVERYBODY with the BS she spews then tries to say she never said it...
Of course she represents Texas' 30th District, which is Dallas and parts of Tarrant County HERE. Just like Houston and Austin, it is a 'blue' area in a red state, and it is not representative of the majority of Texans.
One wonders what she thinks she is accomplishing by spouting the stuff she's saying? Is this the Dems policy? Or is this the 'Squad's' policies? Or is it something else entirely?
She's a lawyer, just like Sheila Jackson Lee, who represented Harris Co (Houston) was, and seems to have adopted her 'ideas' and outrageous behavior as the 'norm' rather than the exception.
You would think lawyers would know better, but I guess not...
Let's not forget that during a 1997 visit to the Mars Pathfinder operations center, Jackson Lee asked whether the Pathfinder rover had taken a picture of the U.S. flag planted by Neil Armstrong. The standards for being a lawyer have truly fallen.
I'm ashamed to admit that she's an alumni of my alma mater. Two funny stories. One, she's fond of saying that she was studying accounting and one of her accounting professors encouraged her to switch to political science and the law track because she had too much personality to be a CPA.
That professor was famous for using that line on students that weren't cutting it in the accounting program.
The second was she claimed to have also been inspired to the law after a series of "hate crimes" on campus, keying cars of black students. The word on that was that the black students association was behind it to drum up relevancy.
