Once again, Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (AOC) has shown just how far she’s willing to go to push her radical open borders agenda, even if it means blatantly ignoring U.S. law. During a recent congressional hearing, AOC tried to defend illegal immigration by claiming that seeking asylum is a lawful process. But let’s get real—crossing the border illegally is a crime, and it’s right there in the U.S. law.
AOC’s Dangerous Defense of Illegal Immigration
In the hearing, AOC had the audacity to challenge a New York City Council member who opposed granting work permits to newly arrived migrants. The council member correctly argued that these migrants should follow the lawful immigration process. But AOC, in her typical know-it-all fashion, interrupted with her misleading assertion that seeking asylum is a lawful process. While it’s true that asylum can be sought lawfully, AOC conveniently leaves out the crucial fact that most of the migrants flooding our borders are doing so illegally.
According to 8 U.S.C. § 1325(a), crossing the U.S. border illegally is a federal crime. This statute explicitly states that any non-citizen who enters or attempts to enter the United States at any place other than a designated port of entry is committing a crime. So when AOC defends these illegal crossings, she’s defending criminal activity—plain and simple.
The Reality: Illegal Border Crossings Are a Crime
Let’s make this clear: Seeking asylum can be a lawful process, but it must be done the right way. Asylum seekers are required to present themselves at a legal port of entry and go through the proper procedures. What we’re seeing now, however, is a massive influx of migrants illegally crossing the border and only then claiming asylum, hoping to game the system.
Under 8 U.S.C. § 1325(a), these illegal entries are punishable by fines and up to six months in prison for a first-time offense. Repeat offenders can face even harsher penalties, including longer imprisonment terms. But AOC doesn’t seem to care about the law or the consequences of these illegal actions. Instead, she’s more focused on pushing her far-left agenda, which seems to prioritize open borders over national security.
Biden-Harris and AOC: A Perfect Storm for Border Chaos
The situation at our southern border has deteriorated rapidly since the Biden-Harris administration took office. Millions of migrants have entered the United States, many of them illegally, and our border security is stretched to the breaking point. And who’s cheering them on? AOC, of course, who acts as if America’s immigration laws don’t matter.
But this isn’t about compassion or helping those in need. AOC’s defense of illegal immigration is about one thing: securing future Democratic votes. By advocating for open borders and opposing any real enforcement of immigration laws, AOC and her allies are trying to create a new class of voters who will keep Democrats in power for decades.
It’s a calculated move that puts politics above the safety and well-being of American citizens. Under Biden and Harris, we’re seeing record levels of illegal immigration, with criminals, drug traffickers, and human smugglers exploiting the chaos. But AOC is too busy pushing her radical agenda to care about the damage being done.
AOC’s Radical Agenda: A Threat to America’s Security
AOC’s obsession with open borders is just one part of her far-left agenda. She’s part of a growing movement within the Democratic Party that wants to dismantle everything that makes America strong and secure. From defunding the police to undermining our immigration system, AOC and her allies are working tirelessly to turn the United States into a lawless, socialist state.
And don’t be fooled by her rhetoric about “helping” asylum seekers. AOC’s real goal is to flood the country with as many illegal immigrants as possible, all in the hopes of creating a new voter base that will be loyal to the Democratic Party. It’s a cynical, dangerous strategy that puts the interests of a few radical politicians above the needs of the American people.
Final Thoughts
It’s time to hold AOC accountable for her reckless, lawless rhetoric. The American people deserve leaders who will enforce our immigration laws, protect our borders, and put the safety and security of our citizens first. AOC’s defense of illegal immigration under the guise of asylum is nothing more than a thinly veiled attempt to undermine our nation’s sovereignty.
The U.S. law is clear—crossing the border illegally is a crime, and those who do so should face the consequences. But as long as AOC and her allies have a platform, this madness will continue. It’s up to us to stand up and say enough is enough. We cannot allow AOC’s dangerous agenda to go unchecked. The future of our nation depends on it.
