Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez on Wednesday night slammed the overcrowded conditions for immigrantsat the US-Mexican border under President Biden as “inhumane”, “horrifying,” “unnaceptable” and “barbaric.”
She also blamed decades of US foreign policy with countries in neighboring Central America as contributing to the perpetual crisis of desperate residents from poor, violence-torn countries flooding the border.
AOC unloaded on the border crisis during a virtual town hall meeting Wednesday night.
“The fact that this keeps happening is a political failure of both parties,” Ocasio-Cortez said.
AOC gave a detailed critique on the current border crisis — after being accused of giving Biden a pass after excoriating former President Trump’s border and immigration policies.
While claiming Trump’s immigration policies are more harsh than Biden’s, she added, “I don’t want to excuse any of this.”
“We should be doing better by now,” she said.
At one point, she said families who were forcibly separated during the Trump years “are owed reparations. Period.”
THANKS SO MUCH,, IT MEANS THE WORLD TO US IN THESE DIFFICULT TIMES
