What Alexandria Cortez thought versus what others thought. (r\/The_Donald)<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

One of the ways to encourage high school students, or younger students, to take their studies seriously is to point to Alexandria Cortez. A basic understanding of American History, Government, Civics, etc., could’ve prevented Cortez from having some of her political grandstanding from blowing up in her face.<\/p>\n

Or, would she even care about what was contained in those textbooks?<\/p>\n

She went to a detention facility, then came out complaining as if these were “concentration camps”. She went on to list some of the “hideous” treatment that those in the facilities allegedly experienced.<\/p>\n

Then people decided to go to see for themselves what Cortez saw. Surprise, surprise, it turned out that Cortez was wrong. The children were treated well and had a better quality of life than many people living in the United States.<\/p>\n

But, that doesn’t stop the congresswoman. She asked Kevin McAleenan, Acting Homeland Security Secretary if separating children from their families contributed to a “dehumanizing culture.”<\/p>\n

From Fox News:<\/span><\/p>\n

“We are a culture of front line agents and officers, men and women, who have already affected 4,000 rescues, risking our own lives for the sake of rescuing people who find themselves in danger trying to, more often than not, illegally cross the border,” Perez responded, noting his 26 years on the job.<\/p>\n

He said the culture among agents is to protect communities from gangs, drug traffickers and other criminals.<\/p>\n

Perez also updated on the progress made in building the border wall, confirming that over two-and-a-half years, construction of “over 51 miles of new and enduring capability along our southwest border” has been completed.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The Fox News article notes that Alexandria Cortez has been the subject of memes that agents made of her. This isn’t the only time that she tried to angle for the “family separation” argument. The rest of the article could be read here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

In this video, Thomas Homan gives Alexandria Cortez responses that don’t appear to be the kind of responses she wanted:<\/p>\n
