Suozzi's campaign ads claimed that he would 'secure the border'


Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., signaled concern that Tom Suozzi's victory over Republican Mazi Pilip Wednesday in New York would encourage Democrats to move to the right on the border and immigration.

The race, held in suburban New York City, featured immigration, border security, crime, and abortion as top issues for voters.

During his campaign, Suozzi debated with Pilip over the border, saying that he believed in long term solutions to the issue.

According to Politico, Suozzi's campaign ads also promised to "secure the border and praised ICE as a vital agency."

"We need to be very careful," Ocasio-Cortez said. "You’re never going to out-Republican a Republican."

"I actually don’t think that it’s necessarily the playbook that would apply to the rest of the country," Ocasio-Cortez told Politico.

I wonder why there’s all this talk about securing the southern border, but not the northern border? Hmmmmm

Because the Southern border has crossings in the MILLIONS and the north until recently was still under a thousand. It’s tripled recently.

It may become a problem because Canada can be pretty lax, and it’s an easy thing to hop a one way ticket to say, Quebec - and cross into the United States with hardly anyone watching.
