Ocasio-Cortez on border tensions: Applying for refugee status isn't a crime

She‘s been elected, she’s trying to get her agenda on the docket. The “hard questions” of specifics gets solved during the legislative process in discussions with other legislators

What happening now is the Executive Branch deliberately sabotaging the processes past legislators have duly put in place to start a race war between the most powerful military in the world (which isn’t supposed to be carrying out police operations) and refugees from war-torn countries. She’s not pushing for open borders, or any other bill with this. She’s pushing for humane treatment of those coming to us for help and she’s asking for our institutions to be respected.
