AOC's solution to the border crisis:

"You can either fix it by trying to build a wall. Or you can fix it by documenting people."

The best way to end illegal migration is by legalizing it. AOC is brilliant.

The biggest problem at the border remains the incentives that are drawing people to cross it illegally. If you build a wall and stop catch-and-release, illegal immigrants will mostly stop coming because the dangerous, expensive journey will no longer be worth it. If you start "documenting people," those incentives only intensify.

Honestly, things are so bad that even building a wall would likely result in little change. The only thing that is going to stop the onslaught of illegal immigration is asylum reform that stops people from crossing the border and immediately claiming asylum, thereby requiring that their claim is adjudicated. To do that, a policy of detention and quick decision-making must be put in place. If enough people are denied and sent back, those that haven't come yet will get the message.

What Ocasio-Cortez is suggesting is the full-scale destruction of American sovereignty, and even then, it wouldn't "fix" anything. I guess that shouldn't surprise me. //

You know how you reduce crime in this country?

You legalize theft, murder, and violent assaults.

It's just common sense... //
