“Close the Border!”: LIVID New Yorkers Shout Down AOC Press Conference Over Migrant Surge
Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) and other Democrats were overwhelmed during a press conference by New Yorkers who have had enough of migrants flooding the streets of their city.
The group of Democrats’ stale and tone-deaf rhetoric outside the Roosevelt Hotel Friday was drowned out by locals chanting “Send them back!” and “Close the border!”
Fox News even had to cut away from one protester who said the Democrat lawmakers “will never be allowed to walk down the streets again.”
“They [illegal migrants] get everything,” said one woman. “We need to be America first, not Americans last.”
“You just want people here to vote!” said a protester who was then put on the other side of a barrier. “You have barriers for who??!! Us!”

Auron MacIntyre of The Blaze posted on X some thoughts on the matter:
“Nothing exemplifies the American experience quite like two politicians explaining that the only way to solve the migrant crisis is to give them all jobs and additional benefits while the actual citizens of the city demand border security.
Nobody wants mass immigration, jobs offshored, forever war, bank bailouts, or funding of foreign nations, but both parties demand these things anyway.
Want to understand the lifeblood of the empire? Look for those issues with zero popular support but unanimous political support.”
X user “@Partisan_O” shared a more somber take:
“It’s cathartic to see politicians like AOC stammer before an angry mob, but don’t overlook the play. The self-inflicted migrant crisis is being treated like a natural disaster, which means federal aid, bigger budgets, more bureaucrats & regulations, and an expanded client base (aka a new electorate).
The democratic mechanisms New Yorkers still have access to are inadequate here; they cannot reverse the process. In other words, their votes are useless. This mess is here to stay.
What comes next will happen very fast. “Worker permits” will be the ‘responsible,’ ‘bipartisan’ solution that brings big business to the table, local officials will be bought off with relief funds, the non-profit/NGO blob will swell, and rank-and-file voters will be bludgeoned with the rhetoric of revolutionary compassion as they watch their quality of life deteriorate and any political leverage disappear.
This is the growth model.”
He went on to explain the “cavalier” attitude of AOC and company:
“If you find yourself perplexed by the cavalier attitude above, you have to remember that these people don’t fear voters; they don’t derive their power from the ‘consent of the governed.’ Many such cases.
Take a good look at California and New York. That’s the future. If you still have democratic mechanisms that function, if your consent actually matters… it’s time to get off the couch and get to work.
Once it’s gone…”
