AOC
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez commented tonight on, among other things, Kamala Harris telling the people of Central America not to come to th US.
I'd like to mention that ....
"Everyone has the right to seek and to enjoy in other countries asylum from persecution" is enshrined in the United Nations Universal Declaration of Human Rights of 1948 and supported by the 1951 Convention Relating to the Status of Refugees and the 1967 Protocol Relating to the Status of Refugees. Under these agreements, a refugee is a person who is outside that person's own country's territory owing to fear of persecution on protected grounds, including race, caste, nationality, religion, political opinions and participation in any particular social group or social activities.
The US recognizes the right to asylum based on international law and federal law. So Harris telling people that they can't come to the border is odd.

AOC is very articulate. I can't believe Marjorie Taylor Greene wants to engage her in debate because AOC would make mincemeat out of her.
Marjorie Taylor Greene wants a news bite for her voting and financial base .... they would be thrilled to see her arguing with AOC and they wouldn't notice the finer points of honesty and reason.
