Ocasio-Cortez compares migrant caravan to Jews fleeing Nazi Germany

Alexandria Virginia  Overrated-Cortex, the new brain trust of the Democratic Party and congresswoman-elect, is not only the youngest person to be elected to Congress, she is also the dumbest.

Seriously.

The Bronx native compared migrants in the caravan [who clashed with law enforcement on the US-Mexico border] to Jewish folks fleeing Nazi Germany and other targets of genocide. The biggest difference between them is that the Jews didn't carry Nazi flags like the Central Americans who proudly waved flags of the homeland from where they were "escaping "

Another big difference is that the migrants weren't targeted for mass extermination by their governments based on their religion. But that doesn't matter, it's coming from a leftist politician where facts are inconvenient truths.

Overrated-Cortex has been elected by quite a large number of very low-information New Yorkers for the 14th Congressional District. In spite of her new job as a lawmaker, she tweeted over the weekend in support of the lawbreakers who are trying to cross the US-Mexico border illegally. And she actually compared them to those who escaped Nazi Germany, Rwanda and Syria.

She tweeted on Sunday:

"Asking to be considered a refugee& applying for status isn't a crime. It wasn't for Jewish families fleeing Germany. It wasn't for targeted families fleeing Rwanda. It wasn't for communities fleeing war-torn Syria. And it isn't for those fleeing violence in Central America,"

But the migrants are not coming to the border applying for status. They are bum-rushing the border and are trying to gain entry without going through the proper procedure. But worse, they as refugees are supposed to seek asylum in the first country they arrive at--Mexico, in this case--not go nation shopping.

Also, Mexico has an obligation to accept and make a judgment about the migrants' claims to asylum because they, like the U.S. and EU, are a signatory to the U.N. Convention whereby refugees must seek safe haven in the first country they come to.

Consider the fact that San Diego ports of entry are on the far west coast of the continent whereas Honduras sits considerably to the east and south. The journey the migrants made was unnecessarily longer than it should have been and there was plenty of opportunities for the hordes of migrants to seek asylum in Mexico, yet they chose not to, which is quite notable.

Still, over the weekend, hundreds of migrants from the Central American caravan rushed the border at the port of entry in San Ysidro, California causing the U.S. Customs and Border Protection agents (CBP) to protect themselves from the rock-throwing that went under reported by the mainstream media by using several shots of tear gas.

This was the same method used by the Obama administration when they had similar problems, but this too went under the media's radar.

 CBP said some demonstrators “attempted to illegally enter the U.S. through both the northbound and southbound vehicle lanes at the port of entry itself. Those persons were stopped and turned back to Mexico.”

Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen said in a statement that some migrants "attempted to breach legacy fence infrastructure along the border and sought to harm CBP personnel by throwing projectiles at them."

She continued: "As I have continually stated, DHS will not tolerate this type of lawlessness and will not hesitate to shut down ports of entry for security and public safety reasons. We will also seek to prosecute to the fullest extent of the law anyone who destroys federal property, endangers our frontline operators, or violates our nation’s sovereignty."

As of Monday morning, about 50 migrants had been detained after illegally crossing the border. 

In Mexico, Tijuana’s municipal government announced it arrested more than three-dozen migrants for disturbing the peace and other charges related to the crossing attempt.

These are nothing like the Jews fleeing the Nazis, Alexandria. Nor are they like families fleeing Rwanda or Syria.
