Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC

@CaanhInc Both! Originally it was just for 2020, but we were able to extend the program through 2022 in the latest COVID package / American Rescue Plan. — PolitiTweet.org

Some addt’l info: - Death certificate must list COVID as primary or contributing cause. If COVID wasn’t listed for your loved one (as many were early on), you can have the cert amended by the hospital - Documented people can apply for lost loved ones who were undocumented — PolitiTweet.org

Maybe Mexico shouldn’t let YOU in the next time you try to run away from your job to sip umbrella drinks in Cancún. — PolitiTweet.org

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC

Ted, this is pretty rich coming from someone who fled their own home (and responsibilities) during an environmental crisis to cross the border and seek refuge in Mexico. Also you funded cages, expanded cages, and yet you’re complaining about cages. You have no policy, just puff. — PolitiTweet.org

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC

In the long term, we need to address US immigration policy that drives parents to make the devastating choice to send their child alone to flee violence bc together they have less of a shot. Lots more. Also foreign policy, climate, etc. Here’s a roadmap: https://t.co/ppny4GDpRq — PolitiTweet.org

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC

So do we do? If facilities are your #1 concern, short term we need to shift Congress’ knee-jerk addiction to funding carceral facilities (ICE/CBP) to expansion of ORR (office of refugee resettlement) and HHS (health and human services). But that’s not a long term solution. — PolitiTweet.org

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC

Fact is a lot of the politicians crying right now don’t work to solve either. They vote to grow ICE + CBP cages and they do everything to avoid addressing the root: US foreign policy and interventionism that destabilizes regions, the climate crisis, and unjust economic policy. — PolitiTweet.org

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC

Politicians and pundits who are pretending to care about the border now but have continuously voted to expand these cages can sit down. You might be new to this, but we’re true to this. Short-term issue is facilities. Long-term issue is destabilization that’s driving migration. — PolitiTweet.org

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC

For all the new tears GOP have about the border, what are their policy solutions? A Muslim ban, racist policy, shutting down the border, & more cages. If you don’t want children in cages, then you need to stop upholding CBP, ICE, and the military as the solution to this crisis. — PolitiTweet.org

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC

For all those who are brand new to this & only care about cages on a partisan basis, catch up: we‘ve been fighting our own party on immigration for a long time. This is the result of Congress endlessly dumping money into CBP/ICE cages vs humane policy https://t.co/Uv68zrk8Fy — PolitiTweet.org

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC

A politician’s strength isn’t based on a trip. It’s based on their policy and voting RECORD. And the fact is a LOT of Ted Cruz types who are now going down to meet refugee children in boats outfitted w/ machine guns are the ones who helped create this problem in the first place. — PolitiTweet.org

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC

A lot of people who are just now suddenly horrified at the dehumanizing conditions at our border are the same folks who dehumanize immigrants + helped build these cages in the 1st place. When we tried to stop this infrastructure over a year ago,we were overruled by BOTH parties. — PolitiTweet.org

This is not nearly enough. The important context here is that it’s $2.25T spread out over 10 years. For context, the COVID package was $1.9T for this year *alone,* with some provisions lasting 2 years. Needs to be way bigger. — PolitiTweet.org

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC

Amazon workers in my district organized to meet with me in private last year. They were terrified & sobbing at being left in the dark about COVID exposures on the job + finding out about worksite infections through the grapevine. This happened in Queens: https://t.co/2Ehe2uS6Np — PolitiTweet.org
