‘Where’s AOC?’: Photos Reveal Migrants in Outside Cages in Blistering Summer Heat at the Border

‘Where’s AOC?’: Photos Reveal Migrants in Outside Cages in Blistering Summer Heat at the Border

“Hi @AOC – are you gonna bust out your white pantsuit and red lipstick for a photo op or do you only care about cages when a Republican is in office?”

Where are you, AOC? The Daily Mail and The Intercept released pictures of migrants in outside cages in Arizona. The temperature has spiked over 110 degrees.

The border patrol and other officials are still overwhelmed. I wrote the other day that border crossings boomed in July because those at the border have no other choice.

Guess what. These poor people are in cages because the border patrol has no other choice:

DailyMail.com pictures show people crammed onto narrow benches as they seek out shade to protect them from the burning sun in a region where temperatures are expected to hit 113F at the weekend.

Figures can be seen taking it in turns to stand in front of a giant fan at Ajo Border Patrol station.

The site is in the remote desert, about two hours west of Tucson. The area is at the heart of a surge in migrant arrivals, undermining Biden administration hopes that its new immigration restrictions are having an impact.

And the increase marks a reversal of the normal pattern, when arrivals tail off amid the extreme heat of the summer.

These poor people are led to believe that the border is open and they can cross without consequences. They sell their life savings and more to traffickers to come to America. Democrats lead them to believe everything will be sunshine and rainbows.

But no, because no one will reform our immigration system, and Democrats cannot stop with their promises.

Advocates and local officials lashed out at the treatment. Thank goodness one realized that the problem is deeper and a Band-Aid cannot heal the injury:

The Border Patrol station in Ajo can process a few hundred people a day, and on Monday upward of 800 to 1,000 people turned themselves in at the border wall, said a second humanitarian volunteer, who asked not to be named and has spent weeks providing aid at the border wall south of Ajo. “If you have a better idea what they should do, bring it,” he said, referring to the Border Patrol. “They’re out of buses. They’re out of equipment. I can imagine they would put people out in the parking lot if they have to. I don’t know they had a choice.”

But I’m not the only one who wants to know why Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez isn’t at the border, decrying the treatment of migrants at the hands of President Donald Trump.

Oh wait. I forgot. Joe Biden, a Democrat, is the president.

We have a Dumb-o-crat crime boss occupying a bed in the White House geriatric ward, so, malignant narcissist-demagogues such as the lazy and too stupid to succeed in the private sector Occasional-Cortex have hypocritically shelved their selective pique regarding illegal alien “cages” and other contrived outrages.

Also, recall that the photos of the “cages” that the water-carrying, mainstream media lapdogs/trained seals/shills used to berate the Trump Administration, were taken during narcissist-incompetent, Obama’s tenure.

Like “fact” checkers, AOC only comes out when Pres. Trump (or any other Republican) is in control.

Where is AOC? Probably either behind the bar washing dishes or in the men’s room plunging the toilet.

She just plumb run out of crocodile tears.

Not for nothing but…..it’s summer, in the South it gets….hot in the summer. These folks chose to travel through the desert Southwest. They know many tens of thousands of others are making the same trip. They know many hundreds of thousands have already made the same trip in the last few months. They know there are limits to the facilities of the border patrol.

They knew and came anyway. Eff them. Eff the people bitching and moaning about the conditions. They can either start telling these folks not to come or start using their own money to build what they consider to be suitable facilities.

Now now, you know it doesn’t count when a pedophile does it

    Show some due deference to the crime boss and dotard-marionette!!! His proper title is “Sniffer-in-Chief.

You guys just want to immigrate her.

2smartforlibs | August 5, 2023 at 10:45 am

If she were there now it wouldn’t look good for the regime and that doesn’t fit the narrative.

What cages? All I see are sunlit, 3-season palisades.
