Democrat Rep. Barbara Lee wants the United Nations to decide who should be allowed into the United States, and whether or not America has the right to protect her borders.
As a wave of the migrant caravan is attempting to invade the U.S. near San Diego, Border Patrol agents have thus far repelled it.
But Lee is appalled, and wants the U.N. to step in.
The tear-gassing of women and children at the border is an atrocity. It’s a violation of human rights. And it is a grotesque betrayal of our founding promise, as a nation built by immigrants.
I’ve called for @UN inspectors on the border, and I reiterate that call today. https://t.co/k5mXSs0oFU

Accusing border agents of the “violation of human rights,” Lee tweets, “I’ve called for UN inspectors on the border, and I reiterate that call today.”
Democrat Rep.-elect Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez retweeted Lee’s tweet. Cortez has said she wanted Lee as Speaker of the House.
For her part, Cortez believes the United States has played a part in creating a “moral crisis,” and called not for border protection, but for “caseworkers.”
“What if instead of sending 5k troops to the border, we had sent 5k caseworkers to review + process visa applications? In addition to averting moral crisis, it also would’ve saved enormous amt of resources. But we don’t talk about the financial recklessness of GOP admins, do we?” Ocasio-Cortez wrote.

She also likened those throwing rocks at border agents to Jews fleeing the Holocaust.
“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,” Ocasio-Cortez tweeted.

Here’s some of those poor women and children attempting to injure Americans protecting national security:
