Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) blamed the worsening immigration crisis at the U.S. southern border on imperialism, climate change, trade policy, and the prison system.<\/p>\n<p>Ocasio-Cortez sounded off on the border crisis Tuesday on Instagram. The New York Democrat did not explicitly blame President Joe Biden for the surge of illegal migrants crossing the U.S. border, though migrants themselves <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/watch-illegal-immigrant-came-to-us-basically-because-biden-was-elected-definitely-wouldnt-do-this-under-trump\">cite<\/a> the president and his policies as primary factors in their decision to travel to the U.S.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSo let\u2019s talk about this because so much of our national conversation, which is not a conversation, about immigration is driven by people who could not care less about immigrants. So often people want to say, \u2018Why aren\u2019t you talking about the border crisis?\u2019 or \u2018Why are you talking about it in this way?\u2019\u201d Ocasio-Cortez said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWell, we\u2019re talking about it. They just don\u2019t like how we\u2019re talking about it because it\u2019s not a border crisis, it\u2019s an imperialism crisis. It\u2019s a climate crisis. It\u2019s a trade crisis. And also, it\u2019s a carceral crisis because as I have already said even during this term and this president, our immigration system is based and designed on our carceral system,\u201d she continued.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\" readability=\"8.8640776699029\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">AOC on Instagram live:<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s not a border crisis.
