.AOC lashes out at Republicans, accuses them of 'crimes against humanity' over migrant busing
Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez lashed out at Republicans Friday, accusing politicians of committing"crimes against humanity" after transporting immigrants to the home of Vice President Kamala Harris this week.
It’s appalling that far-right politicians seem to have decided that fall before an election is their regularly scheduled time to commit crimes against humanity on refugees. "What a lot of Republican politicians fail to understand is that not everyone shares their zero-sum, scarcity mindset," Ocasio-Cortez said."Many of us understand that immigrants and refugees are a blessing. They have so much to offer our country, & much of our growth as a nation is because of them."
"By today’s standards, most US families would have be deemed undocumented or trafficked at some point in their family history," Ocasio-Cortez tweeted."For the most part, people didn’t need lawyers and years of processing to come to this US until immigration became a racialized issue."
