Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez

Now, first and foremost, her family explicitly asked that her name not be politicized or used or wielded in this way. And Every time I see this, it's just so disgusting to me that they just trampled on this family's wishes and decided to do this. But anyways. So you have this act that's brought forth.

And Republicans say, OK, well, this person, if you have a criminal record, if you've sexually assaulted somebody, you should be deported. And so that's the guise of this bill, right? And they said, so that should be the law. Except that's not what's in this law. Because A, that is existing US law. It is existing US law.

And well, I mean, I think there are individual cases where I'm not sure, but this is what the right does. They exploit these like very narrow individual cases. But the existing law in the United States is that if you are undocumented and you commit a crime, you are put on priority number one for deportation. That is standing U.S. law.

Now here's what Lake and Riley does actually, is that they use that guise to then dramatically erode constitutional rights in the United States tucked into that bill.

That's right.

That's right.

So now in this bill, all you need to do is be accused of a crime and you don't have to be fully undocumented. It works against dreamers too. So you could be here.

This is Patriot Act all over again. This is... Mission Creek. Exactly. Using this guise of national security to erode not just the civil rights of this population, but your civil rights too. And like, it makes us all... It's kind of like when they did these 100-mile border security zones.

They're doing surveillance on everybody, on the vast majority of the United States, because most people, believe it or not, live within 100 miles of some kind of border, the southern border, the northern border, or both either coast.

And so, like, this is the thing that, you know... This is the thing that we need to be aware of. But it's also something that you haven't heard this because Democrats are very scared on these kinds of issues. Democrats are vulnerable on issues of immigration.
