We also have a legal crisis of our southern border. No country can randomly allow non-citizens to cross their borders illegally and then take advantage of the largess of their citizens. All of these immigrants crossing\u00a0 into the country illegally are receiving\u00a0 medical care, dental care, etc. at the border. Many of them manage to collect government benefits after being here. Many receive free college tuition that American citizens do not get. Yes, there is a problem. It would be nice if Congress solved the problem. Hopefully they are moving in that direction.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, as Rahm Emmanuel once said, &#8220;You never let a serious crisis go to waste. And what I mean by that it&#8217;s an opportunity to do things you think you could not do before.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The first thing you do is create a really good photo op. Below is an example:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.rightwinggranny.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/AOCBorder.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-36430\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rightwinggranny.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/AOCBorder.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"617\" height=\"312\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rightwinggranny.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/AOCBorder.png 617w, https:\/\/www.rightwinggranny.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/AOCBorder-300x152.png 300w, https:\/\/www.rightwinggranny.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/AOCBorder-500x253.png 500w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 617px) 100vw, 617px\" \/><\/a>This is Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez crying over the plight of immigrant children at our southern border. There is only one problem with the picture.<\/p>\n<p>This is the shot from another angle:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.rightwinggranny.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/AOCBorder2.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-36431\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rightwinggranny.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/AOCBorder2.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"631\" height=\"313\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rightwinggranny.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/AOCBorder2.png 631w, https:\/\/www.rightwinggranny.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/AOCBorder2-300x149.png 300w, https:\/\/www.rightwinggranny.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/AOCBorder2-500x248.png 500w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 631px) 100vw, 631px\" \/><\/a>I guess it is touching that AOC has compassion for border patrol agents standing in an empty parking lot, but somehow that is not how the media described the picture. The media suggested that AOC was sobbing presumably at the sight of migrant children being inhumanely detained. From the looks of the second picture, that was not exactly the case.<\/p>\n<p>Photos posted at<a href=\"https:\/\/www.thegatewaypundit.com\/2019\/06\/epic-candace-owens-trolls-ocasio-cortez-in-her-own-staged-parking-lot-fence-photo-shoot\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"> The Gateway Pundit<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We have a humanitarian crisis on our southern border.
