Homan accuses Dems of being ignorant of immigration law
President Donald Trump's border czar Tom Homan on Monday slammed Democratic lawmakers, accusing them of not knowing much about U.S. immigration law, after one lawmaker appeared to misinterpret it.
Texas Democratic Rep. Jasmine Crockett mistakenly claimed that it was not a "criminal violation" to enter the United States illegally, even though it would violate Title VIII of the United States Code 1325. The line has also been used by Democratic New York Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez.
Homan referenced the title during an exchange on Fox Business’s Varney & Co, where he blasted lawmakers for not knowing the laws they have helped to pass.
"It’s really pathetic that any member of Congress don’t understand what the law says. They wrote the law. They enacted the law. It was signed by a president,” Homan said. “It is a criminal violation to enter the country illegally. If you’ve entered prior, it’s a felony ... We will enforce those laws.”

I suspect the Democrats know US immigration law, they just see a benefit to their party in ignoring it because they think the illegals will support Democrats. However, AOC and Jasmine Crockett are not the brightest bulbs on the Democrats' tree.
