I'm no fan of AOC, aamof I don't like her at all, but in this case, she's right and the tweet is just lying about the video. She did not get "evicerated" or destroyed. That's just more typical rwnj bullshit propaganda.
The point she was trying to make but could have said better, is that these people are not "criminals" per se, in that the vast majority of them aren't here to commit crimes against society.
Homan comparing them to criminals or justifying treating of them like criminals because they violated a technicality while seeking asylum is just chicken shit. They are decent but desperate human beings and any of us, you right-wingers included, would do the same thing if you found yourselves in their situation. Especially if you had children you were trying to protect.

Or use to get into the country.
AOC was eviscerated in that clip. You aren’t ‘a criminal per se’ if you violate a statute; when you willingly violate a statute, you are a criminal *by definition*.
Every year millions of US citizens are separated from their families for violating statutes. Why should foreigners be treated—better?
Also, the ICE guy brought up a good point that AOC refused to address: we have a system for taking in asylum seekers, they are called ‘ports of entry’.
Instead of encouraging more of them to commit a crime, why aren’t we encouraging more of them to use ports of entry—instead of offering them free healthcare if they can somehow get into the country—illegally?

By definition, a person who violates a law is a criminal.
Splitting hairs on illegality is intellectually dishonest..and pretty stupid.

There is nothing dainty about my hands. They are plenty big enough to deal with punks like you.
And BTW, I know the only reason you call yourself "sailor" is because you are a faggot. Everybody knows that sailors are faggots. Why else would anyone want to go out sailing around in boats with nothing but a bunch of other dick suckers?
