But how can that be? The great stateswoman/philosopher, Ocasio Cortez says we are "irredeemable," and are running "concentration camps" on the Mexican border. I've traveled all the world, mostly by hitch-king as a student staying in youth hostels. I can tell you that the other countries in this world have no compunction whatever in enforcing their borders. We seem to spend an inordinate amount of time apologizing for ourselves.
