Democratic Socialist Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has gone full Soros, telling an audience at a Saturday town hall event in New York that America’s immigration system is “completely unjust,” and that a person’s immigration status doesn’t matter to her.
The New York Rep. also said that President Trump is “creating” populations of illegal immigrants by “grinding all of the agencies to a halt that process the legal forms of immigration,” which she says is “forcing people into the shadows.”
“First of all I believe in human rights,” AOC continued. “I don’t care if you’re documented or you’re undocumented.”

Ocasio-Cortez has awkwardly thrust herself into the immigration debate, suggesting last month to an astonished House Financial Services Committee that Wells Fargo was involved in the ‘caging of children and financing the caging of children,” because the bank has loaned money to private detention companies CoreCivic and the Geo Group.
AOC has also repeatedly called for the abolishment of US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), claiming the agency is racist and has “systematically violated human rights.”
“The president should not be asking for more money to an agency that has systematically violated human rights. The president should be really defending why we are funding such an agency at all because right now what we are seeing is death,” she told MSNBC‘s Rachel Maddow in January, adding: “The president should be really defending why we are funding such an agency at all. Right now, what we are seeing is death. Right now, what we are seeing is the violation of human rights.“
