AOC and her group keep America honest by bring up contradictions in our laws and force members of congress to address them. People who seek asylum break misdemeanor laws by not entering at designated places. What I think we as a polarized country fail to recognize is that American laws apply to people who live here...already. People coming to the US border aren’t here yet. Once you cross, then American laws apply.
Separating kids from parents is a policy supported by American laws. However, knowing the US government will separate your family and then not follow its own, constitutionally supported laws, about the time the kids can continually be kept separate is a huge problem for the US government. But let’s be fair, Democrats and Republicans have forced this crisis by not addressing our own citizenship mess; by kicking this can into the future for smarter, bolder, more compassionate legislators to address is a shame EVERYONE in congress shares. AOC and her group are a thorn in everyone’s side because what they’re really saying is that all in congress need to get a pair; address the issue; come up with something that makes sense for everyone living in America today; and give the president something to sign into law.
Until then, AOC will continue to draw attention to it because members of congress are too much involved in saving themselves thru the next election cycle than addressing the problem at hand. Kicking the can down the road doesn’t solve problems. ADDRESSING the problem and SOLVING it through bipartisan efforts does. I don’t like some of what AOC says, but she has the right to say it no matter how painful it is to hear.

Teacher, I sincerely hope that you are retired from the teaching profession (assuming that you were/are a teacher). The only original thoughts which AOC has are, "Its like, you know, I mean, right?" Everything else which she says is all scripted for her. All you have to do is watch how her head is buried into her notes when she speaks before congress. Only Chuck Schumer shows us more of the top of his head than what this poor actress does. As Blue Mt.Man has eluded, honesty is not in the Democrat Party"s vocabulary. Many of them have unabashedly adopted the mantra of Karl Marx from the Communist Manifesto, "The End Justifies The Means." "The Means" include lying, cheating, stealing, physical threats, false charges against politicians and Supreme Court Justice nominees, and promoting policies which violate the law and the Constitution. Attaining political office is the only thing which they seek. THAT represents "The End" portion of their adopted mantra. If they actually cared about children in cages, they would have at least made a peep during Obama presidency. They did not.

And what Teacher said is what is being taught in schools and college campus's all over the USA. Sad. Very sad. That is why it is so important to teach truth and vote. That gang of congress woman are bad news. And promote hate. And openly say it. But it is called progressive thinking. I call it regressive thinking. They literally want to take us back to the dark ages and beyond! Heard the other day they want to get rid of central air! No trains No planes Kill your babies Open your borders No individual rights Everyone has to live in cities No farms LGBT everything from streets to libraries

AOC is a waste of space and not very bright. I think she has some smart people around her that give her talking points but when on her own she comes across as exactly what she is, a bartender. Hey, let’s not compare AOC to some of our great and intelligent bartenders lol.

The TV news people are telling the illegals how NOT to get busted and deported. "Don't answer the door and they will eventually go away"!
Every kid needs a Dog and a Curmudgeon.
Remember Bowe Bergdahl, the traitor.
Beware! Jill Pudlewski, Ron Oates and Keven Begesse are liars and thiefs!
