At least she didn&rsquo;t say the obvious unsaid part, which is that if &ldquo;we done picking cotton&rdquo; &mdash; &ldquo;we&rdquo; being any subgroup of American citizens, one assumes by the context here &mdash; we need illegal immigrants to pick our crops at below-market rates with only the most desultory checks on where they come from or how many come.<\/p>\n<p>There&rsquo;s also the more problematic part of this, which is <em>where<\/em> it was said and what crop she used. According to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ctinsider.com\/waterbury\/article\/waterbury-grace-baptist-church-125th-anniversary-20230215.php\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">CT Insider<\/a>, you will not be surprised to learn that Grace Baptist is a mostly black congregation. Crockett is, of course, black. One can perhaps do some math here and say that, if she didn&rsquo;t <em>specifically<\/em> want to refer to black slavery, this was certainly not the place to drag that analogy out, because the event certainly leant her remarks that aura.<\/p>\n<p>Picking cotton on a plantation is, however you want to slice it, inextricably linked with the specter of slavery and cropping, whatever race the cropper might be. Thus, what Crockett is saying here is that slavery is over for <em>us<\/em>, so we need to &hellip; um, import <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/modern-slavery-wealthy-new-yorkers-beg-police-not-turn-cheap-illegal-servants\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">more slaves and croppers<\/a>, only this time ones that will work for well below the legal wage in this country.<\/p>\n<p>That&rsquo;s certainly the obvious inference from context, given that 1) the Trump administration is cracking down on illegal immigration, and 2) it&rsquo;s a tired trope that we need illegals to pick the crops we won&rsquo;t. The only difference to this is the <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3YuVZYV\">obvious dog-whistle &#038;mdash<\/a>; really, just a whistle &mdash; to slavery, which means Crockett doesn&rsquo;t necessarily mind the practice just so long as this cup passes from her. To call this comment rebarbative is an understatement &mdash; and yet, she&rsquo;s merely saying the quiet part out loud on the Democratic position on illegal immigration, just saying it a lot louder than we&rsquo;re used to hearing it.<\/p>\n<p>Beyond all of the externalities of illegal immigration that go solely beyond the cost of labor, I don&rsquo;t think that Crockett wants to remind us who the party of Jim Crow actually <em>was<\/em> by saying that the reasonable and empathetic thing to do is to keep the illegal immigration spigot on to import wage-slaves to America. (Hint:&nbsp;<em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/biden-who-imagines-white-supremacists-everywhere-refers-to-rapper-ll-cool-j-as-boy-to-congressional-black-caucus\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">It wasn&rsquo;t the Republicans<\/a>.<\/em>)<\/p>\n<p>One doesn&rsquo;t wonder what she&rsquo;ll say to defend these remarks, merely how she&rsquo;ll try to escape by retconning what she <em>actually <\/em>meant in order to defend herself. However, it&rsquo;s pretty clear what she really said: &ldquo;We done picking cotton,&rdquo; so we need illegals to do it. Excellent work yet again, Rep. Crockett.

This situation is reminiscent of when she had to defend herself for referring to Texas&#8217;s Republican governor, Greg Abbott, who uses a wheelchair, as &#8220;Hot Wheels.&#8221; Crockett claimed that her intention was not related to his condition but rather about the transportation methods he used for migrants in communities led by Black mayors. However, she had previously liked social media posts calling him &#8220;Hot Wheels,&#8221; which undermines her defense. Now, she&#8217;s facing backlash again after stating in Connecticut that \u201cwe done picking cotton\u201d and implying that illegal immigrants are needed for agricultural work because Americans aren&#8217;t willing to do it anymore. Speaking at Grace Baptist Church during its anniversary celebration, she remarked on the necessity of educating people about immigrants&#8217; contributions while jokingly asking if anyone wanted to farm\u2014only to conclude that they were no longer interested in such labor.
