“Which is why they’re so frustrated, because they really want our local law enforcement to go out and round up people when they could be looking out for the murderers and the sexual abusers, as well as the robbers,” she ranted. “They want them to go and round people up on civil accusations.”
Tom Homan Shuts Down Democrat’s False Claim
Tom Homan, who has spent decades enforcing immigration law, wasted no time in dismantling Crockett’s baseless assertion. Speaking on Fox Business Network, Homan pointed out the absurdity of a sitting Congresswoman not understanding federal 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 [doesn’t] understand what the law says,” Homan stated.
Illegal entry is classified as a federal misdemeanor, punishable by up to six months in jail and fines. Repeat offenders face felony charges. Yet, Crockett seemed either unaware or unwilling to acknowledge this fact.
“They wrote the law, they enacted the law, [it’s] signed by a President. It is a criminal violation to enter the country illegally. And if you’ve entered prior, it’s a felony,” Homan continued.
Not Homan’s First Time Educating Democrats
This isn’t the first time Homan has had to correct Democrats on immigration law. He famously clashed with Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) during a 2019 congressional hearing when she made similarly false claims about asylum seekers and border enforcement.
“Mr. Homan, with all due respect, legal asylees are not charged with any crime,” Ocasio-Cortez asserted during the hearing.
“When you’re in this country illegally, it’s violation 8, United States Code 1325,” Homan fired back.
Democrats have made it clear they don’t want illegal immigration to be considered a crime. During a 2019 Democrat primary debate, every candidate on stage raised their hand in support of changing illegal border crossings from a criminal offense to a mere civil violation.

Ignoring the Law to Push Open Borders
The Left’s push to decriminalize illegal entry isn’t based on legal facts—it’s pure politics. They want open borders but don’t want to admit it to the American people. That’s why figures like Homan have to step in and expose the reality: crossing the border illegally is, and always has been, a crime.
Homan’s takedown of Crockett is just another reminder that Democrats are willing to mislead the public to advance their radical agenda. But as long as conservatives hold the line, the truth about immigration law will not be buried under their lies.
