Texas Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett on Sunday made what she called an "admission to MAGA" about immigrants taking jobs.

Crockett, a Democratic lawmaker who has taken aim at Donald Trump as well as Marjorie Taylor Greene, took to X over the weekend to blast Elon Musk. Musk happens to own the social media site on which Crockett was posting.

"There’s an immigrant taking people’s jobs… his name is Elon Musk," the lawmaker wrote. "He’s snatching farms, government jobs (even those in which they manage our national security), and definitely those whose jobs are to root out fraud (inspector generals), & those that are keeping us safe (FAA), meals on wheels workers, head start, and the list goes on, so I’ll be the bigger person and admit to MAGA that I was wrong when I said immigrants wouldn’t take our jobs. You were 1000 percent correct."

When a critic called for Crockett to "stop government spending," the Democrat replied, "Don’t call for your social security, Medicaid, Medicare, passport, IRS refund, worry about the planes falling out or the sky, complain when the Ebola cases just found in NY spread like wildfire killing people, nor be upset when there’s no cancer medications because research has stopped, dare have a uniquely abled child because there will be no services for said child, complain about the cost or the lack of safety around our food, and def don’t complain when our enemies attack us."

"I could go on but you won’t care until something you care about ceases to be available and well that day is coming," the lawmaker added on Sunday. "It’s FAFO season… so we will wait for the rest of y’all to catch up."
