<p>Rep. <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/alexandria-ocasio-cortez" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez</a> (D-NY) claimed during a recent interview that the reason Americans survived the COVID-19 pandemic was because of illegal aliens.</p>
<p>AOC made the remarks during an interview with Maria Hinojosa on Latino USA while talking about the subject of illegal immigration.</p>
<p>&#8220;These are human beings, but they are also assets to the United States of America,&#8221; AOC said. &#8220;Now, when I move to the economic case, I want to say first that, yes, it is fraught, you know, because it is painful to see sometimes people only talk about the economic case because we&#8217;re more than just a labor force. We&#8217;re more than just a people to be exploited.&#8221;</p>
<p>Ocasio-Cortez said that people who vote on the issue of illegal immigration are not compassionate and do not see the &#8220;humanity&#8221; in people.</p>
<p>&#8220;And so if you want to be hard-nosed about it, understand that America&#8217;s immigration force and our community of immigrants, including and especially the millions of undocumented people in this country, are why America has prospered, especially why we survived the COVID-19 pandemic,&#8221; she claimed.</p>
<p>&#8220;And for all of the people who cast a vote based on grocery prices and inflation, if you think your groceries are expensive now, wait until the farms are empty,&#8221; she said. &#8220;If you think houses are expensive now, wait until there&#8217;s no one building them.&#8221;</p>
<p>The socialist lawmaker claimed that America not accepting illegal aliens into the country was &#8220;the definition of cutting off your nose to spite your face.&#8221;</p>
