From Townhall:

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez tweeted this message:

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @Ocasio2018
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.

END

And Sen. Lindsey Graham had this reply tweet (to the twit):

Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) doesn't see it that way. The migrant caravan approaching the U.S. border and Nazi Germany don't compare, he told her in a tweet on Monday. To witness real suffering, he invited Ocasio-Cortez to pay a visit to the D.C. United States Holocaust Memorial Museum.

A WORD FROM TIM:

She's also wrong about that business about Jews fleeing Nazi Germany. Did Occasional-Cortex ever hear of the S.S. St. Louis? That was a German liner full of Jewish refugees who were denied any entry into the U.S. That was not uncommon; the official Roosevelt policy was to turn Jewish refugees away. Occasional Cortex seems to be unaware of this little detail.

She also seems not to understand the difference between refugees and economic immigrants. These "migrants" are clearly the latter; they want in to feed off of the economic success of America and for little else. They are in no immanent danger.

She also fails to understand that they are breaking the law by climbing over the fence rather than coming in an authorized port of entry, and that throwing rocks at border patrol agents is hardly a way to ask for help.

BTW, many of us were against letting the "Syrians" in too, because they were clearly being sent out as a type of invasive force by ISIS.

This woman is horrendously ignorant.

Mr. Kemp concurs:
