Byron Donalds and Carl Higbie issued sharp criticism of Rep. Jasmine Crockett’s recent comments on immigration, arguing that her stance ignores the federal government’s duty to secure the nation and fails to address the strain illegal immigration places on communities, budgets, and housing markets.

Both said Crockett’s remarks appear driven by a desire for media visibility rather than public safety or responsible policy.

Carl Higbie opened by questioning Crockett’s position.

He said, “Your colleague, Jasmine Crockett. I just I don’t know where she gets this.”

Donalds responded that her approach is familiar on Capitol Hill.

“Neither do I, neither does anybody else. Look what Jasmine is trying to do is typical of unfortunately, what’s happening on Capitol Hill. You got a lot of members trying to get cute, trying to get on TV more. This is a very stupid take by her, it makes no sense at all,” he said.

Donalds argued that border security is a core federal responsibility.

“The federal government has a responsibility to secure the nation and to secure the people of America. That’s its job. So, yes, criminal illegal aliens must be deported, all of them. There can’t be any equivocation. People in the country illegally, they need to go home,” he said.

He outlined several reasons for removing criminal illegal aliens.

“Number one, our communities don’t have enough room. Number two, budgets at the local level, state levels are all being stretched. Number three, when you allow like Joe Biden did, and quite frankly, like Jasmine Crockett did, 15 million people to come into the country illegally. Where are they living? Where they’re living in is in apartments and in houses that are also helping to artificially drive up the cost of housing in the United States, and who suffers the consequences for that, people who are on the lower end of the economic spectrum in our country,” Donalds said.

Donalds said Crockett’s remarks serve media interests rather than the public.

“So Jasmine, once again, doesn’t know what she’s talking about. She’s trying to make sure she’s on MSNBC or MS NOW, or whatever the heck they call the thing, because nobody really watches it and nobody cares. It is another cheap take that makes no sense that leaves the American people less safe in their own country,” he said.

Higbie agreed fully with Donalds’ assessment. “Dead on, completely dead on, maybe less shrimp running on treadmills, more deportations. I like that,” he said.
