In the "squad" response to President Trump over his tweets to them about their anti-Americanism, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez had a doozy of a response. She declared that the U.S. "belongs" to "everyone," including illegal aliens. She couched it all in the smarmy language of addressing all the children of America. Here's a short clip:
Rep. @AOC: "The first note that I want to tell children across this country is that no matter what the president says, this country belongs to you. And it belongs to everyone." pic.twitter.com/NsQQ1zDeiR— The Hill (@thehill) July 16, 2019
CBS News has a longer clip, which leads in with Ocasio-Cortez lamenting border detentions of illegally crossing kids, leaving zero doubt that it's illegals she is addressing in her syrupy statement.
It was an astonishing statement to make, effectively indoctrinating illegal alien children into thinking the U.S. somehow "belongs" to them, same as it belongs to the citizens of the country. She used an example from her childhood about how her father told her the capital "belonged" to her — a nonsensical, if understandable, statement a parent might tell a child, into extending such a declaration to anyone within U.S. borders. "It belongs to everyone," she insisted. And make no mistake: it was illegals she was talking about. At about the 2:37 mark in the CBS clip, she says she's "not surprised" that President Trump told the squad to "go back to their country" because Trump "has authorized raids, without warrants, on thousands of families across this country."
She was referring to illegal aliens who have passed through all due legal process and have ignored legal orders to leave the country.

All Out Crazy
America belongs to Americans. Period.
CW-II.
Period.
Flimsey Grahamnesty, Micro Rubio and the rest of the Bush League Republicans say the same thing every time they dangle amnesty as bait for more to come here.
I’ve had about enough of this lying twit.
RE: I’ve had about enough of this lying twit.
Except she’s not lying when she made this statement in the title. She actually MEANS IT.
They’ve been doing this for a long time.
“This land is your land,
This land is my land,
From California,
To the New York island...”
That woman needs a straight jacket and a padded room until her term is ended.
No, it does not belong to everyone.
Why should foreigners in Saudi Arabia be able to vote in our elections? Which is what you legitimize when you say we don’t need ID for voting and it’s OK for illegal aliens to be here.
Her stupid statement there is what really torqued me off.
A few months ago, I saw a spot on FoxNews where the interviewer was talking with some of AOC’s constituents, Man-on the- Street style. Most of her constituents said they liked her, but when told of some of her statements, they were like ‘she said THAT??’. Her constituents aren’t getting told of her comments.......or they are just morons.
Where’s Joe Wilson when you need him?
Did you ever think the US would live out the movie FOR REAL..?
AOC PLANS:
-Making air transport illegal, building bridges to Europe and Hawaii
-Destroying and re-building EVERY structure in the USA using green tech
-Doing away with concrete as a construction input
-Saving money for socialized medicine via fewer funerals
-Eliminating beef-eating pets
She is a 10 year old dressed up in costume, as an adult suit, pretending to know all the answers
it’s getting very close. we are under attack and our gov has totally been infiltrated.
All property is theft - Marxist maxim
I despise her, yet I’m embarrassed for her. Dreadful how this country has fallen.
It’s not your country to give away, Sandy.
This can be used in a political ad...
What exactly has AOC done for her constituents? I wonder how many students she sponsored into West Point? Isn’t that a Representative kind of activity?
