Ocasio-Cortez says sympathy for Ukrainian refugees is a 'profound opportunity' to get a pathway to citizenship for all refugees

 Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) said that Democrats should use the overwhelming support for refugees from the Ukrainian war to help get a pathway to citizenship for all refugees.

She made the comments to Rachel Maddow on MSNBC Tuesday after the State of the Union address by President Joe Biden.

While Maddow asked Ocasio-Cortez how to use sympathy for the refugees from the invasion of Ukraine to avoid demonization of illegal immigrants at home, the congresswoman bent the conversation towards amnesty.

"I think that the way that we are looking at immediate granting of TPS to Ukrainian refugees, which is what we need to be doing, as well as many others, is something that we really need to keep in mind. Because I do believe that, for example, the thousands of people who try to seek legal refuge on our southern border, how Haitian refugees have been treated by the United States, not just in past administrations, but frankly this one, is not right," she said. ..............

No.  We should give shoulder-fired missiles to Ukraine so they don't have to be refugees.

Well, that's a good point.  Also, we have enough refugees coming into the country that no one is keeping track of.

There already is a pathway to citizenship.  You apply for a visa.  You get a job.  You obey the law.  You apply for citizenship.  You take a civics class.  You study.  You learn.  You take a test.  You become a citizen.  It's not that difficult.

What we currently have is  government that so many were glad to support to have elected. People get their way,so non-judgmentally,then they get their candidate in office and scream bloody murder.  The time to THINK was before the election, not bitch excessively after!  After ALL,isn't this sooo much better than having Trump in office? ? ? Well?? ? 

Ocasio seems to be taking up the banner of open immigration for biden.  Biden seems to be backing off. because he was tired of getting so much heat on it ?
