Democrat Rep. Alexandria Ocasio Cortez stunned Congress on Thursday by referring to illegal immigrants as her “constituents.”
Ocasio-Cortez was questioning Wilbur Ross, President Donald Trump’s secretary of commerce, when she made the bombshell statement. She began by referencing remarks Republican Kris Kobach made while he was Kansas secretary of state. Kobach encouraged Trump early on in his administration to add a 2020 consensus question about citizenship.
“Kobach said, ‘I raised the issue with the president shortly after he was inaugurated’ and ‘he was absolutely interested in this,’” Ocasio-Cortez said. “Shortly thereafter, in April of 2017, Steve Bannon asked you to speak with Mr. Kobach about his ‘ideas about including a citizenship question on the 2020 decennial census.’”

Freebeacon.com reports: Ross acknowledged he did speak with Kobach early on in the administration, but he was cut off by Ocasio-Cortez before he could clarify what exactly the conversation was about.
“I’m sorry, I must reclaim my time,” Ocasio-Cortez said.
“Mr. Kobach later sent an email to you on July 14, writing that the lack of the citizenship question ‘leads to the problem that aliens who do not actually reside in the United States are still counted for congressional apportionment services,'” she said.
“Of course they do reside in the United States. They reside in my district. They’re my constituents,” she said of illegal aliens.
Ocasio-Cortez has been an outspoken critic of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), saying the agency responsible for enforcing U.S. immigration laws has “systematically violated human rights” and caused “death.”

I hope one of her constituents gives a heave dose of disease that can’t be cured.

Of course they are, who else in their right mind would vote for an InterNazi puppet like you!
Seeing that neither dhimmicrats nor RINOS have any interest in pursuing election fraud, then yes dimwits likes of AOC are voted into office by invaders.
I was just wondering where Evita was, and her progeny shows up!
Does the utter lack of humility in this young ‘lady’ bother anyone else? Why do I doubt that anything she says is actually coming from her? And what is with the woman in the white wig in the background who might as well be holding a sign, “LOOK AT ME”? I cannot believe the circus our Congress has become.
Actually, Saul Alinsky represents the 14th District from his grave.
