Ocasio-Cortez: Latinos Can’t Be Illegals Because They’re ‘Descendants of Native People’

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D., N.Y.) on Thursday criticized U.S. Immigrations and Customs Enforcement and argued in support of undocumented Latinos in the United States, saying the latter cannot be "criminalized" on "Native" U.S. land because they are "descendants of Native people."
The self-described Democratic socialist spoke on Thursday alongside several liberal groups, including MoveOn and United We Dream, a pro-immigration group that calls for ICE to be abolished. She repeatedly slammed ICE, claiming it "repeatedly and systematically violates human rights."
"They do not deserve a dime until they can prove that they are honoring human rights, until they can make a good faith effort to expand and embrace immigrants … Until they can prove good faith to an American ideal, they do not deserve any resources for their radical agenda. We have to have respect for children, respect for families, respect for human rights, and respect for the right of human mobility," Ocasio-Cortez said of the agency tasked with enforcing U.S. immigration laws.
The freshman congresswoman went on to suggest ICE has not given due respect to those who enter the country illegally. The United Sates must "respect for the right of human mobility," she said before adding, "because it is a right."
"Because we are standing on Native land, and Latino people are descendants of Native people. And we cannot be … criminalized simply for our identity or our status."
"We are a nation and land of laws, not just [one where] some people are subject to laws and others are not," she said. "We are a land of laws."

Good one!
She’s a real gift............
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~``
It looks like even most of the democrats have figured out she is nuts.
Alyssa Milano Cortez...
So they are citizens of every nation in the western hemisphere????
WRONG! Just absolutely wrong!
She has no idea that there are differences among native peoples. This is akin to her saying “They all look alike.” Idiot.
Yeah, the ponies are really flying off Alexandria’s merry go round, now.
Ya gotta admit: That’s pretty ingenious.
Free Electricity!!! /vote Barack!!
Has anyone (besides Chris Plante) brought up the fact that she’s named after one of those raping, pillaging Conquistadors that unjustly stole the land from the ‘native people’?
Damn she’s stupid.
It’s amazing how much publicity this adolescent-minded, very dull witted jackassette is getting in the media, and even here on Free Republic.
Every day. Sometimes two and three times a day. When you think OCS cannot get even more ridiculous and say anything even stupider, she always rises to the occasion.
LOL!
Wow.
I thought she was smarter than that.
Just wow.
We are a nation of laws. So... we have to allow lots of people to break our laws.
Because I (AOC) say so, in contravention of the Constitution and the entire justice system!
This from the woman who has just proudly bleated “this is a nation of laws.” But not the ones you don’t like, right?
San Fran Nan, Schmucky S. and the rest of the Old Guard RATs helped to create an American version of “The Lost Generation”, lost not on fields of battle, but in the public school indoctrination factories!
So I guess I have my pick of Poland, Ireland, Germany and England, and they’ll have to give me citizenship for the asking. Perhaps Spain would be interested in repatriating a couple hundred million Latinos who are Spanish as much as “Native American”. Miss Cortez ought to know that some number of these Latinos have or at least claim to have all Spanish blood, and have the 30 part last name to prove it, as they are proud of their Spanish heritage.
On the other hand, if this means we can send Elizabeth Warren to live with her tribe in Peru, it might all be worthit.

Perhaps Occasional Cortez could discuss this with Elizabeth Warren.
