AOC Goes After Kamala Harris for Telling Migrants ‘Do Not Come’

Monday, Vice President Kamala Harris gave a speech in Guatemala. To the surprise of many Harris told those considering coming to the United States illegally “Do Not Come, Do Not Come”.

Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) took to Twitter to highlight her disappointment in the message coming from the Vice President. Cortez doesn’t believe in borders and believes that all who want to come to the United States should be welcomed.

AOC blames the United States involvement in Latin America, for the destabilization, that is causing so many to flood across the southern border, stating, “We can’t help set someone’s house on fire and then blame them for fleeing.”

She then calls for the United States to acknowledge its blame in all of this. She claims that it would, “help us change US foreign policy, trade policy, climate policy, & carceral border policy to address causes of mass displacement & migration.”

It would be helpful if the US would finally acknowledge its contributions to destabilization and regime change in the region.

Doing so can help us change US foreign policy, trade policy, climate policy, & carceral border policy to address causes of mass displacement & migration.

We previously reported on former President’s Trump speech from a North Carolina GOP event in which he said, “without a border, you cannot have a nation.”:

“We fight for other countries’ borders, but not for our own,” said Trump. “That changed under my administration but now they’re going back more rapidly than anyone ever thought possible. Nobody ever thought that they could do this kind of destruction to our country so quickly. Some of the executive orders that are being signed are absolutely insane.”

Trump was of course referring to Joe Biden’s failures dealing with the border crisis. Additionally, Joe Biden canceled the building of the southern border wall, causing illegal immigration to surge and putting many construction workers out of a job in the middle of a pandemic.

Republicans can only hope Donald Trump gets another shot at being president again in 2024, but one thing is for sure, whoever runs will have to run on something similar to what Trump brought to our nation because he is the de facto leader of the GOP at this point in time, in our view and the view of many.

Trump’s message only seems to be solidified by the progressive Democrats who don’t seem to think that there is a need for a border.
