An area in Squad member Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s district is being described as looking more like a Third World country as opposed to a thriving American neighborhood, as desperate migrants block up sidewalks selling food and shilling clothing items while prostitutes openly solicit sex from passersby — reportedly including teens.
The neighborhoods of Corona, Jackson Heights and Elmhurst — a once-vibrant community in northwestern Queens — has now essentially deteriorated into a large flea market with trash overflowing on street corners, leading to unsavory and unhygienic conditions, as video obtained by Fox News Digital shows.
Meanwhile, the neighborhood’s main strip along Roosevelt Avenue has become so renowned for its prostitution that locals have nicknamed the area "the market of sweethearts," and viral online videos advise prospective johns on how to make use of sex workers' services there.
In exclusive Fox News Digital photos, sex workers were seen on Wednesday standing outside storefronts soliciting men. Residents say the prostitutes usually take their clients into makeshift brothels for sex. These alleged sex workers operate during all hours of the day, even as families walk by with their children in strollers, and often hang out in front of area supermarkets. Prostitution is against the law in New York.
In video obtained by Fox News Digital, one local resident, Ramses Frías, takes a short walk along two streets in the neighborhood, shedding light on the conditions there.

That’s not a bug. That’s a feature.
She should be back in the ol’ neighborhood crying her fake tears.
Flea markets? Looks more like a never ending homeless camp. Didn’t see one person buying anything in this 5 minute video. Yeah just what I want clothing piles on the sidewalk. Where did these illegals get all of this crap tp even try to sell?
is there an open bar there too? she’ll need a job after the next election.
That’s what they want democrats forever and fertile soil for the drug cartels.
I guess AOC is representing that district. :-)
voila!
Prostitutes!
Finally. Something for which AOC is eminently qualified.
Meng, Cruz, Raga, González-Rojas, Krishnan…I see a pattern here.
Spread-legs Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’ wants America to become like Mexico.
The minds of some are sickening and boggling! Drugs will do it.
“Does she think this is a good thing? What do her constituents think?”
She’s got it made. This is democrat utopia. Forever reelected. Her peeps are completely in the bag. Totally braindead. She speaks ratease and they eat it up. Alway someone else’s fault.. ‘power to the people’ and stuff.. ‘you know, the thing.’
Stealing.
“along Roosevelt Avenue has become so renowned for its prostitution”
Well AOC is their Rep. What’s good for the goose is good for the gander. AOC just does her Xhoring in DC.
I would give my right arm for this bitch to lose her seat!!
I wonder when the last time AOC walked those streets in her district?
This is how the Rats “improve” the quality of life for their voters, NOT!
snotty little rich latina biotch from Westchester keeps her people down on the farm
But is this enough to get the residents here to vote for a Nazi?
Amazon was never going to locate there. The proposed Amazon headquarters project was to be located in the neighboring House district — which made this dingbat’s vocal opposition so tone-deaf and stupid.
Not a very helpful video unless we are shown a comparison with what it was like in years past, e.g. in 2015 or 2016 etc. For all we know, those of us who have never been to this neighborhood, this may have always been a shithole part of NYC.
Also, where were the 10,000 jobs going to come from, just that one district or from the neighboring districts, too? There was a bridge between the location and other district. Don't you think the majority of the jobs would be filled by people who didn't want to cross that high-toll bridge twice a day?
