Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) claimed during a recent interview that the reason Americans survived the COVID-19 pandemic was because of illegal aliens.
AOC made the remarks during an interview with Maria Hinojosa on Latino USA while talking about the subject of illegal immigration.
“These are human beings, but they are also assets to the United States of America,” AOC said. “Now, when I move to the economic case, I want to say first that, yes, it is fraught, you know, because it is painful to see sometimes people only talk about the economic case because we’re more than just a labor force. We’re more than just a people to be exploited.”
Ocasio-Cortez said that people who vote on the issue of illegal immigration are not compassionate and do not see the “humanity” in people.
“And so if you want to be hard-nosed about it, understand that America’s immigration force and our community of immigrants, including and especially the millions of undocumented people in this country, are why America has prospered, especially why we survived the COVID-19 pandemic,” she claimed.
“And for all of the people who cast a vote based on grocery prices and inflation, if you think your groceries are expensive now, wait until the farms are empty,” she said. “If you think houses are expensive now, wait until there’s no one building them.”

Cotton don’t pick itself.
She is so stupid.
Listen up…..she’s smarter than Elon.
Sandy be hittin’ da tacos and tequila again. The girl needs to go see a shrink.
I see that Annoying Occasionally Coherent is bloviating again.
Yo Sandy! You got any proof? We don’t do drugs and we don’t know what the hell your dumb butt is talkin’ about. How did a bunch of thieving, foreign invaders protect us from Covid. LOL! Go ahead. We’ll wait.
Biggest Birdbrain: AOC, or Jasmine Crockett?
This is a tough one.
BTTT
My vote is for Acutely Obnoxious C**t.
Every minute you spend listening to her costs you IQ points. You might not be able to get them back.
Stupid doesn’t have an end point. AOC proves it.
No, we survived it because it was a nothing-burger.
It was so mild people needed a test to know if they were even sick.
To die of Covid, you had to be dying of something real as well.
Precisely so. They’ll find let, unfortunately will do well again, when they find someone to put their crazies back in their cages. I think Andy Beshear could pull it off like Clinton did. For the moment there’s no party leader strong enough to be inclined to, let alone accomplish, bringing the lunatics like AOC to heel
Sandy is severely defective. We should return her to Puerto Rico.
It’s really no contest. aOC is on the verge of being dethroned by Crockett
So the PR Princess thinks everytime you are mugged, raped, murdered or robbed by an illegal alien, you’re actually seeing “da humanity” in people. LOL What a retard.
Right. Where she never lived. Had hardscrabble upbringing in Yorktown Heights...
