AOC On Immigration: Latinos Are Descendants Of Native Americans, Therefore…
2019-02-08
[Hot Air] Therefore ... what? Where’s she going with this? Is she suggesting that people of Latino ancestry should be immune from U.S. immigration laws? "We didn’t cross the border, the border crossed us," yadda yadda?

But she vowed Thursday to defund ICE completely and claimed Latinos should be exempt from criminal proceedings and immigration laws because they are descended from Mesoamerican cultures that preceded the United States.

‘We are standing on native land,’ she claimed, speaking just outside the U.S. Capitol. ‘And Latino people are descendants of native people. And we cannot be told, and criminalized, simply because for our identity or our status. Period.’

#18  So white people bring diversity and Vibrancy! to America, and therefore it is up to the native stock to accommodate us refugees from Europe and give us free shit.

I'm down with that.

#12  This inept child is not good at economics, history or governing but she seems to have the ear of many in her socialist party. That says something about her party. It is forgivable as she has never done anything but go to school and bartend. Hopefully, she learned something from bartending. What is not forgivable are the numbskull voters in her district.

#11  Isn't AOC somehow connected to Puerto Rico? Is that mesoamerican? How does that make her Latino, speaking for "our identity or our status"? Period.

#9  What AOC is attempting to initiate is a Latino Conquista of North America.

La Raza types have been calling for reconquista for years...and they don't mean taking Spain back from the Moors.

#8  She should probably avoid parks and streets. She'll probably end up like that democrat that gave the stuff to wikileaks. Oh look, another crime victim.

#7  She is becoming a Buffalothorn tree within her own party. I fear Partito Nazionale Fascista, PNF "Il Duce" inspired outcomes.

#6  Don't mention that the word 'Latino' is derived from the word 'Latin' - definately not 'native'.

#5  Mesoamerica was an area of Central America consisting of people prior to the Spanish Colonization of that area, resulting in the mass extermination of Mesoamericans.
