According to The Post Millennial, during a conversation with MSNBC, Crockett outlined her forecast that the Republican party will abandon their deportation plans once they consider the economic consequences. She pointed out that the agricultural sector heavily depends on the labor of migrants.

"As someone who serves on the agriculture committee, I can tell you that I have talked to countless farmers that talk about the need for these migrant workers,” she said. “So, listen, unless your viewers are planning to send their kids to school so that they can go and work on the farms, then God bless… but the reality is that is not who’s been working the farms in recent years.”

Trump's electoral triumph, coupled with polling data indicating broad support for stricter immigration enforcement, implies that his administration might adopt a more assertive approach, potentially gaining the approval of a majority of Americans.
