Re: Some of the stupid people you can have in govt.

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) claimed during a recent interview that
the reason Americans survived the COVID-19 pandemic was because of illegal
aliens.

AOC made the remarks during an interview with Maria Hinojosa on Latino USA
while talking about the subject of illegal immigration.

�These are human beings, but they are also assets to the United States of
America,� AOC said. �Now, when I move to the economic case, I want to say
first that, yes, it is fraught, you know, because it is painful to see
sometimes people only talk about the economic case because we�re more than
just a labor force. We�re more than just a people to be exploited.�

Ocasio-Cortez said that people who vote on the issue of illegal immigration
are not compassionate and do not see the �humanity� in people.

�And so if you want to be hard-nosed about it, understand that America�s
immigration force and our community of immigrants, including and especially
the millions of undocumented people in this country, are why America has
prospered, especially why we survived the COVID-19 pandemic,� she claimed.

�And for all of the people who cast a vote based on grocery prices and
inflation, if you think your groceries are expensive now, wait until the
farms are empty,� she said. �If you think houses are expensive now, wait
until there�s no one building them.�

The socialist lawmaker claimed that America not accepting illegal aliens into
the country was �the definition of cutting off your nose to spite your face.�

AOC warns that America cannot survive without illegals:
�For America to not accept immigrants is the definition
of cutting off your nose to spite your face.�

Prioritizing illegals over your own citizens is the definition
of �cutting off your nose to spite your face�
