Democratic socialist Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has been a vocal critic of Texas Gov. Greg Abbott and Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis’ creative methods of shining a spotlight on the border crisis and out-of-control illegal immigration. But why?
Well, according to AOC, America should be so lucky as to be overwhelmed by illegal immigration, because we’re a capitalist country, and “under the burdens of capitalism,” we need lots of immigration to compensate for young people having fewer kids, and we need more people here so we can fund insolvent liberal programs like Social Security. No, seriously. That’s what she says:

Interesting!
"We're not having kids so we need immigrants" is a really interesting take. https://t.co/Jao9TPGOy1

Right? She’s special, isn’t she?
Why not, "we're not having kids so we need to change, and start having kids, and immigrants are also good"?

Because AOC is an idiot who is also completely full of it.
I love when @AOC bitches about capitalism while filming on her iPhone and listening with her airpods.

Oh, yeah. You’ve gotta love that!
These people are completely, utterly insane. And should be treated as such.
The irony of a woman who has never really worked in the private sector, is now a millionaire, and complains about 'burdens of capitalism' while wearing $300 airpods and $1000 phone is 'chef's kiss'. https://t.co/K5YoaotNdu

I can’t afford air pods and I don’t even have kids

Snort.
It would align with a lot of populist beliefs (on left and right) if it were true that the main reason people don't have kids is economics, but fertility is highest in poorer countries and among poorer people. https://t.co/dTQQL34oDA

Forget it; she’s rolling.
Gee, before it was student loans.

It’s always something with these people, isn’t it?

People who only get their news from the TVs on gasoline pumps are better informed than AOC.

Rep @AOC you are a burden on our collective intelligence

Tough, but more than fair.
