Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, DN.Y., argued that if there is a problem with illegal mass immigration, Republicans are the blame.
While Democrats continue to be supported by the loss of November elections for President now Donald Trump, some have argued that the party needs a new approach to the crisis of migrants that damages the southern border.
Others, like AOC, have asked citizens to find ways to resist the efforts of the president and ICE agents to expel illegal immigrants.
National Radio host Steve Inskeep spoke to Congress, who initially won the task during Trump’s first term, where she and her party are now.
“To what extent is immigration, as a matter, part of your problem with working class voters?” he asked.
“I think my question would be. What does the word” problem “mean?” Ocasio-Cortez replied.
“People who vote for the other side and not for you,” Inskeep explained.
“I think we have a problem in immigration because of the lack of progress we have had on this issue, and as we know, the Republicans armed that lack of progress,” AOC replied. She then referred to the supposed bipartisan draft law that Republicans have argued that “had never been created to solve the problem”.
“It is a problem not only for Democrats, it is a problem for the whole country that Republicans do not want to solve,” Ocasio-Cortez argued.
She seemed to echo the argument that one of the best ways to curb illegal immigration is to make more legitimate immigration, such as granting citizenship to illegal immigrants, saying: “They are completely uninterested in addressing people without documents, addressing a path to citizenship.” “
“Well they want to address people undocumented by removing them, I mean this is what the president is trying now,” Inskeep intervened.
Ocasio-Cortez argued that Republican legislation such as the appropriate process of the Act Laken Riley, and that Republicans lack the infrastructure they need to evic out effectively.
“So they are actually creating-it is not about creating a deportation pipeline, they are creating a private prison camp pipeline, so they are still creating pipelines to only increase this problem here in the United States,” she said.
Inskeep then asked the Congressman why this issue continues to be a “political loser” for Democrats “if what you say is true”.
“I think the lack of a path of citizenship in the United States, the lack of addressing the comprehensive immigration reform creates a large population of non -documents in the United States and allowed to be armed in many ways,” AOC replied.
“We have a large population of non -documentary people in the US, it is not because they crossed the southern border of the United States,” it continued. “This is because they came here in a documented way and overestimated a visa and made without documents. And it is the lack of ability for us to expand a path to citizenship, to modernize the paths for citizenship over the decades that create this bubble issue that Republicans are allowed to armed. “
