sadly typical ignorance. this has nothing at all to do with brown. there is a difference between legal and illegal immigration, and your side routinely tries to make this about race.

If trolling is what you think I am doing, then why do you bother to respond? What kind of a chump does that make you?
As for Ms. Ocasio-Cortez, I see nothing wrong with what she said, but I do see something wrong with your and Brett’s preachy posts.
How’s that?
Here's the quote you're crying about FNK. That you yourself shared.
"First, seeking asylum at any US border is a 100% legal method of arrival."
Either you dont know what asylum is, you are willingly misinterpreting what she said or...most likely...gas lighting us like always.
It is legal to seek asylum and all she is saying is that it is OK to seek asylum. End of story. Save your outrage.
And obviously she's right about our impact in the region. The Biden admin suggeated they'd be taking a different tone but nope. Same old same old.
I'll keep this simple for the simple minds on the right. Go to Guatemala's Wikipedia page and read.
I appreciate AOC and the likes because they more often are able to see the underlying problems because they haven't been brainwashed into believing in America's altruistic brand of imperialisim.Quote:
From the mid- to late 19th century, Guatemala suffered chronic instability and civil strife. Beginning in the early 20th century, it was ruled by a series of dictators backed by the United Fruit Company and the United States government. In 1944, the authoritarian leader Jorge Ubico was overthrown by a pro-democratic military coup, initiating a decade-long revolution that led to sweeping social and economic reforms. A U.S.-backed military coup in 1954 ended the revolution and installed a dictatorship.[9]
From 1960 to 1996, Guatemala endured a bloody civil war fought between the US-backed government and leftist rebels, including genocidal massacres of the Maya population perpetrated by the military.[10][11][12] Since a United Nations–negotiated peace accord, Guatemala has achieved both economic growth and successful democratic elections, although it continues to struggle with high rates of poverty and crime, drug cartels, and instability. As of 2014, Guatemala ranks 31st of 33 Latin American and Caribbean countries in terms of the Human Development Index
If you want to stop immigration fix the core problems. Building walls and closing borders arent solving problems. They're brutal bandaids that ignore the causes.
That's why Kamala was so disappointing here to progressives. But she is a cop after all.
Lastly...you right wingers need to stop pretending like you're only against "illegal" immigration. Cut that word out and be honest. Trump's attack on asylum seekers should've ended that charade once and for all.
