At a town hall meeting, Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez faced vocal opposition from constituents in her Queens district on the issue of immigration.
Attendees accused her of prioritizing the welfare of illegal immigrants over the needs of her constituents, shouting slogans like “secure the border.”
The event took an unexpected turn as Ocasio-Cortez was met with a barrage of criticism accusing her of neglecting her duty to those who elected her in favor of advocating for illegal aliens.
