Jasmine Crockett, the Democratic House Rep from Texas, is currently going viral for her take on the migrant crisis. She defended the controversial issue that plagued Joe Biden’s Presidency by placing the blame on lazy Americans. Crockett spoke before a crowd of people at an event and asked if people were sending their kids to college to go work in the fields or make beds in hotels. This was her attempt at justifying $450 billion of taxpayer money spent annually on an estimated 20,000,000 migrants flooding the country over the course of four years.
There is some truth to what she’s saying when she criticizes the work ethic of the American people. What she fails to acknowledge are the hard-working Americans laid off or simply denied access to employment in favor of the migrants. She also fails to acknowledge that the work migrants often do is not always done very well, especially when it comes to building homes. Ultimately, if the country cannot rely upon abundant migrant labor then the American people will be forced into becoming more productive, which is a good thing for the country and the world as a whole.
