AOC calls Harris' immigration comments 'disappointing' as VP warns migrants 'do not come'
Fox News
New York Democrat Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez called Vice President Kamala Harris’ comments on immigration “disappointing” on Monday, after Harris said during a press conference that migrants looking to cross the U.S. border should not come.
The progressive Democrat also said the U.S. has contributed to destabilization in certain areas of Latin America and "we can’t help set someone’s house on fire and then blame them for fleeing." As previously reported by Fox News, Harris made comments appearing to clarify the administration’s stance on immigration during a visit to Guatemala, where she said the U.S. intends to continue working toward securing its border. "I want to emphasize that the goal of our work is to help Guatemalans find hope at home, at the same time I want to be clear to folks in this region who are thinking about making the dangerous trek to the United States-Mexico border -- do not come, do not come," she said. "There are legal methods by which migration can and should occur."More Related News
