At the same time, I want to be clear to folks in this region who are thinking about making that dangerous trek to the United States-Mexico border: Do not come. Do not come.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The vice president further emphasized that the U.S., &#8220;as one of our priorities, will discourage illegal migration. And I believe if you come to our border, you will be turned back.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Ocasio-Cortez said the comments by Harris were &#8220;disappointing to see.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The New York Democrat stressed on <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/AOC\/status\/1402041820096389124?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1402041820096389124%7Ctwgr%5E%7Ctwcon%5Es1_&#038;ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.foxnews.com%2Fpolitics%2Faoc-slams-vp-harris-over-border-comments\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Twitter<\/a>\u00a0that &#8220;seeking asylum at any US border is a 100% legal method of arrival,&#8221; adding that &#8220;the US spent decades contributing to regime change and destabilization in Latin America.
