AOC: ‘For America to Not Accept Immigrants Is the Definition of Cutting Off Your Nose to Spite Your Face’

EXCERPT:

OCASIO-CORTEZ: “And so, if you want to be hard-nosed about it, understand that America’s immigration force and our community of immigrants, including and especially the millions of undocumented people in this country, are why America has prospered, especially why we survived the Covid-19 pandemic. And for all of the people who cast a vote based on grocery prices and inflation, if you think your groceries are expensive now, wait until the farms are empty. If you think houses are expensive now, wait until there’s no one building them. Understand the consequences of what this means, because for America to not accept immigrants is the definition of cutting off your nose to spite your face.”
