This is going to come as a shock to you, but everyone in our country has rights. It's true. I won't wait while you check.
ICE has existed since 2003; those that would see it gone don't advocate for open borders in its elimination, rather what they see as an ill-conceived agency with a horribly executed mission. Ocasio-Cortez specifically has made clear that she is not calling for the end of deportation. We can disagree with her assessment and advocacy for ending ICE-as-we-know-it, but claiming it equates to open borders is simply not true. Repeating and believing untrue things is antithetical to the democratic process- an educated electorate is essential.
A path to citizenship is not without condition- it's a path, after all -it's something we've always had. The path Ocasio-Cortez advocates is for the so-called Dreamers- folks who grew up in the US, know no other country, have no other lives.
If you believe these nuanced positions equat to open borders, you are believing a lie. I've made an effort you would not to educate you. Continuing to repeat this lie will only describe you, not Ocasio-Cortez or the policy she advocates. We'd all be better off were you to favor the truth.
AOC will be more than happy to allow droves of illegal immigrants into the country with the unbridled support of the Democrats nationwide.
