Texas Representative Jasmine Crockett is facing criticism after falsely stating on MSNBC that entering the US illegally is "not a crime."
Speaking to MSNBC’s Katie Phang, Crockett claimed that “It is not a criminal violation to enter the country illegally… it’s not a crime.” She went on to claim that 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.”
“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.
