‘It’s Really Pathetic’: Tom Homan Goes Off On Jasmine Crockett For Saying Illegal Immigration ‘Not A Crime’

Border czar Tom Homan criticized Democratic Texas Rep. Jasmine Crockett on Monday for wrongly asserting that illegal 🛂Immigration is not a criminal offense.

Crockett claimed on “The Katie Phang Show” Saturday that “it is not a criminal violation to enter the country illegally … it’s not a crime.” However, Homan explained on “Varney & Company” how Crockett was incorrect, saying it is pitiful that she seemed unaware of the law.

“It’s a crime to enter the country illegally under Title 8 United States Code 1325 and it’s really pathetic that any member of Congress understand what the law says,” Homan told host Stuart Varney. “They wrote the law, they enacted the law, signed by a president. It is a criminal violation to enter the country legally. And if you’ve entered prior, it’s a felony.”

“So I’ve been saying this for I don’t how long on your show, and I had to educate AOC , what, years ago, during the hearing that it’s a crime to enter this country illegally and we’re going to enforce those laws.”

Homan during a 2019 hearing informed Ocasio-Cortez that even if an immigrant is seeking asylum, they still must “go through a port of entry” in order to not commit a crime.

“Mr. Homan, with all due respect, legal asylees are not charged with any crime,” Ocasio-Cortez
