Ah yes, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is at it again—playing immigration lawyer and border policy expert, all from the comfort of her Twitter account.

This time, her office hosted a webinar—because nothing screams government accountability like a Facebook livestream—explaining exactly how illegal immigrants can avoid deportation. You know, instead of maybe, just maybe, encouraging people to follow the law. But that would be too much to ask from the self-appointed defender of anyone who isn’t a tax-paying American citizen.

Of course, AOC herself couldn’t be bothered to attend the webinar. She is probably too busy figuring out new ways to blame capitalism for her latte being too expensive. But don’t worry, she still made time to tweet out a “Know Your Rights” guide just to make sure illegal immigrants have all the tips and tricks they need to dodge ICE agents.

The guide, of course, tells them to refuse to open the door unless there’s a judge-signed warrant, stay silent, and literally ask federal law enforcement to leave. Because, as we all know, law enforcement officers just pack up and go home whenever someone politely asks them to.

But let’s get to the real absurdity here. The webinar’s speakers—immigration activists, not exactly a neutral crowd—claimed that ICE raids are nothing but “political tactics” meant to “create fear.” Right. Because enforcing immigration law, which, last time we checked, is an actual law, is just a scary conservative conspiracy.

According to these activists, ICE agents are out there cruising around in unmarked vehicles, lurking in public places, and—gasp—showing up during probation check-ins. In other words, doing their jobs. The horror!

And here’s where it gets really rich: AOC has the audacity to say, “Believe it or not, in America EVERYONE has rights.” First of all, thanks for the civics lesson, but perhaps she should be reminded that American citizens—yes, the people actually paying taxes to fund all of these lovely government programs—also have rights. Like the right to a secure border, the right to expect that the laws on the books are actually enforced, and the right to not have their communities overrun because politicians like AOC think immigration laws are just suggestions.

Let’s not forget the absolute pearl-clutching hypocrisy here. The same crowd that screeches about “law and order” whenever it fits their narrative suddenly treats ICE as some rogue agency for daring to enforce immigration laws that have existed for decades. If this were any other law—say, tax evasion or environmental regulations—you can bet AOC wouldn’t be hosting a webinar telling people how to avoid compliance. But immigration laws? Oh, those are optional now.

And, of course, the media conveniently ignores the fact that this kind of rhetoric only incentivizes more illegal immigration. When you broadcast to the world that ICE is the bad guy and that there are loopholes to dodge deportation, guess what happens? More people show up expecting to skirt the system.

And who pays for it? Not AOC. Not the activists on her livestream. It’s the American citizens dealing with overwhelmed hospitals, overcrowded schools, and rising crime in cities already buckling under the weight of failed immigration policies.

AOC isn’t interested in solutions. She isn’t interested in real reform. She’s interested in performance politics, in stirring up outrage, and in making sure she stays relevant by pandering to the most extreme voices on the left. Meanwhile, Americans are left dealing with the consequences of leaders who see laws not as rules to be enforced but as obstacles to be ignored. But sure, let’s keep pretending this is about “rights” and not about an open-border agenda disguised as compassion.
