"Maybe It's Not Immigrants. Maybe It's Republicans." Rep. Jasmine Crockett Takes Trump Head-On - Rep. Jasmine Crockett [View all]
In this committee hearing, Rep. Jasmine Crockett dismantles Donald Trump’s immigration narrative piece by piece — and says the quiet part out loud. She calls out Trump’s agenda as openly racist, unconstitutional, and rooted in cruelty, not public safety.
Crockett exposes how immigrants are being scapegoated while the real problems remain untouched: unaffordable housing, rising grocery prices, stagnant wages, outsourced jobs, and a healthcare system Republicans refuse to fix. She points to the largest and most inhumane deportation program in modern American history — and asks the obvious question: if immigrants are the problem, why is everything still broken?
From ICE agents dragging a pregnant woman, to ending TPS protections for Black and Brown nations, to billionaires getting permanent tax cuts while working families get nothing, Crockett makes it clear who is actually responsible for the chaos. And it isn’t migrants — it’s failed Republican leadership.
This is Rep. Crockett doing what she does best: cutting through the spin, naming the truth, and refusing to let cruelty masquerade as policy. - 12/17/2025.
