Ocasio-Cortez “still thinks the whole immigration question boils down to racism,' Fox News host Tucker Carlson claimed.
Fox News host Tucker Carlson argued Thursday night that what he sees as the Democratic party's stance on immigration — embodied in Carlson's view by outspoken first-term Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez — is a juvenile approach to the issue that is “too stupid to continue.”
“If you are for borders, you are racist. Period,” Carlson said, while opining that Ocasio-Cortez “knows even less than your average cable news anchor." Carlson then posed some questions for when such an “adult conversation” on immigration does happen. They included: How many immigrants the United States should admit annually? What is the ideal population size of the U.S.? What skills and education standards should Americans look for in immigrants? And what government services immigrants should be entitled to.
Ocasio-Cortez did not respond to Carlson’s criticism of her publicly on Twitter. However, she did take a shot at Fox News on Thursday by mocking a contributor to the network who wore what many ridiculed as a bulletproof vest to report from the border.
