Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s district in New York City has become a haven for open-air prostitution and stolen goods thanks to the Democrat policies — particularly illegal immigration — that she advocates for.
Zoom out: AOC represents New York’s 14th District, which spans areas in both Queens and the Bronx.
The details: The Northwestern Queens neighborhoods of Corona, Jackson Heights, and Elmhurst — once vibrant communities — are being described by locals as “third world” as videos of lawlessness have gone viral.
Illegal flea markets: Local resident Ramses Frias [a Democrat-turned-Republican running for state Assembly] filmed endless blocks of illegals selling clothes, food, toys, and other items on the street. Frias and his neighbors see this as “a third-world market” and explain that the items being sold are “stolen from donation bins or stolen from stores.”
Prostitution: Corona’s main street has become known as the “market of sweethearts” because the streets are lined with women soliciting men for sex out in the open during the day, even as families with strollers walk by.
- The prostitutes reportedly recruit local children to hand out their X-rated business cards.
- NYC Mayor Eric Adams blamed the rise in prostitution on an influx of illegal alien women from Venezuela.
The law:In New York, it is illegal to sell food or goods in public spaces without a permit. And prostitution is illegal.
What is AOC saying? She blamed the lawlessness on Republicans, saying the illegals have to resort to criminal behavior because they’re unable to work legally.
