Democrats have been scrambling to find their message on immigration ever since Donald Trump’s landslide victory.
Most party leaders know they can’t sound too radical on border security after voters rejected their open borders policies.
But Jasmine Crockett just went completely off script and said what Democrats really believe about ICE.
Crockett compares ICE agents to "fancy Uber drivers"
Representative Jasmine Crockett (D-TX) appeared on California Governor Gavin Newsom’s podcast This Is Gavin Newsom where she made comments that will infuriate every American who believes in border security.
Crockett didn’t just criticize ICE – she completely trivialized the dangerous work these agents do to protect American communities from criminal illegal aliens.
According to the Texas Democrat, ICE agents are nothing more than glorified taxi drivers.
"ICE for the most part is nothing but a ride. That’s all they were supposed to do for the most part, right?" Crockett said during the interview. "Look at them as a fancy Uber driver for immigrants."
The congresswoman’s comments reveal the contempt that Democrats have for immigration enforcement and the brave men and women who risk their lives to secure America’s borders.
Crockett went even further, claiming that ICE raids make America look like a "joke" and referring to the agency as Trump’s "personal army."
"Now they’re running into places, doing raids, and they’re falling all over each other, injuring each other. Like we are a joke, but it is a bad nightmare of a joke," she stated.
But Crockett wasn’t done insulting patriotic Americans.
The Texas representative also attacked President Donald Trump and his supporters as the most "unpatriotic" people in the country.
"I am telling you right now that the most unpatriotic people that we have in this country are MAGA and this president," Crockett declared. "We are the real patriots. And it is time for us to take our flag back and show people what America is about."
Democrats show their true colors on border security
Think about what Crockett just revealed about the Democrat Party’s real agenda.
She wants ICE agents – who regularly face down dangerous criminals, drug dealers, and human traffickers – to act like ride-share drivers politely shuttling illegal aliens around the country.
This isn’t some slip of the tongue or poorly chosen words.
This is exactly what Democrats believe about border security and immigration enforcement.
They don’t want ICE agents conducting raids to arrest criminal illegal aliens who have repeatedly violated our laws.
They want them providing transportation services.
And here’s what makes Crockett’s comments even more outrageous – she’s calling the Americans who support actual immigration enforcement "unpatriotic" while defending a system that would essentially eliminate border security altogether.
The woman represents a district in Texas – a state that has borne the brunt of the Biden administration’s border crisis for four years.
Texans have watched their communities overrun with criminal illegal aliens while Democrats like Crockett sat in Washington, D.C. and did nothing.
Now she wants to lecture them about patriotism while comparing the agents trying to clean up this mess to Uber drivers.
The real agenda gets exposed
Crockett’s appearance on Newsom’s podcast tells you everything you need to know about where the Democrat Party stands on immigration.
Two of the party’s rising stars – a governor who wants to be President and a congresswoman positioning herself as a progressive leader – casually discussing how to gut immigration enforcement.
They’re not even trying to hide their radical agenda anymore.
The timing of these comments is particularly telling.
Trump has made it clear that his administration will prioritize removing criminal illegal aliens and securing the border.
Democrats like Crockett are already laying the groundwork to oppose every single enforcement action.
By characterizing legitimate immigration raids as some kind of Keystone Cops routine, she’s trying to delegitimize the entire process before it even begins.
But Americans aren’t buying what Crockett is selling.
They’ve seen what happens when ICE agents are turned into "fancy Uber drivers" instead of law enforcement officers.
They got four years of the Biden administration’s catch-and-release policies that flooded communities with criminal illegal aliens and overwhelmed border states like Texas.
The idea that ICE should function as a transportation service rather than a law enforcement agency would be laughable if it weren’t so dangerous.
These are the same agents who arrest MS-13 gang members, drug cartel operatives, and human traffickers.
Crockett wants them driving these criminals around the country instead of deporting them.
This is the radical open borders agenda that Democrats have been pushing for years, finally said out loud by one of their own.
And it shows exactly why American voters rejected their policies and elected Donald Trump to clean up this mess.
