It's almost like unregulated mass (illegal) migration over burdens the system compared to regulated legal migration. There's always a right and wrong way to do things.

[MarialiceOHara-er]

The problem is that this migrants mostly have no useful skills so how can anyone hire them to do anything that requires any sort of skill set?

[tikkabrno]

Visitors knock on the door, thieves and scumbags jump your back fence and break into your home. Wake up child 🤦‍♂️

[cathycarter]

Close the dang border im sick of the left putting illegal immigrants and criminals first. Take care of Americans first. Our veterans and our own homeless and Hungary children first not last.

[Mongoosed]

The poor little girls brain hasn't developed yet.

[cammiesells]

So..why don't she allow them to live with her!!! THIS IS SO WRONG..PERIOD!!!!

[ruthabbott]

Who in the world believes her??? Let her go to farmers and pick the crops..she couldnt.

[SladeFuqua]

i just wonder when she is going to start caring about the abuse and neglect at the VA?

The increase in individuals entering the country without sufficient oversight is alarming. Creating an efficient procedure for managing this is vital. It's important that all sides engage in open dialogue, putting aside partisan differences to find areas of agreement. Collaboration between all parties is essential to tackle this issue with the care it requires. A potential solution could be to temporarily suspend new entries until a strong system can be developed to mitigate risks such as homelessness, drugs and security threats. At present, it seems that the potential safety and ethical issues are not being fully considered, and this oversight could tragically result in loss of life. Addressing these concerns may lead to a more in-depth and enlightened conversation on the subject.

She makes about as much sense as my 14 year old lab, that deaf and refuses to listen to me.

[cathycarter]

Quit giving yourself raises and give it to seniors first.

If a high school drop out like grandma Boebert can be in Congress the bar is mighty low.

Would love to have this conversation without the name calling. You just did plenty of that. Next please make these people pay taxes. As a "boomer" I can tell you I will not be a burden to you because I will have to work until the day I die- all along paying taxes. Many migrants work off the books, and do not tell the govt they are working. So they get free housing, healthcare, food etc. I don't. Also they send most of their money back home. How is that helping the economy and the "boomers" who depend on SS? Democrats have been in the WH for many years. Clinton, Obama and now biden. Why hasn't this been taken care of? Obama is the one who built the cages. Where were the tv cameras back then to report that? AOC- you are the darling of the hour. You can fix this without name calling and further division. Stop talking and start working.

[MarialiceOHara-er]

The woman is not a legislator…she is a media personality and should just go away and people should help her by voting her out

[dc]

Send the illegal immigrants to AOC's district. While they're there, AOC needs to sponsor a few random families to take home with her. Do your part AOC. You asked for it.

[nondisclosure]

Make them come legally with a work permit

[harrylam]

Does she even understand what she's talking about?

[Promark]

This is absolutely deranged and so divorced from reality.

[roxy]

Go away AOC we have had enough of you.
