CRUZ, AOC EXCHANGE BLOWS ON NAZI ACCUSATIONS

Ocasio-Cortez"explains the real Dem position: abolish ICE. Full open borders. Which would make the [Biden border crisis] even worse," the Texas Republican wrote.

"She says nothing else works. Really? Last year, we had the lowest illegal immigration IN 45 YEARS. This year, we have the highest in 20 years," he added.

Ocasio-Cortez fired back, recapping the senators decision to leave his home statein February, amidone of Texas biggest crises in years.

"Ted, this is pretty rich coming from someone who fled their own home (and responsibilities) during an environmental crisis to cross the border and seek refuge in Mexico," she retorted in a tweet Thursday. "Also you funded cages, expanded cages, and yet youre complaining about cages. You have no policy, just puff."

"Maybe Mexico shouldnt let YOU in the next time you try to run away from your job to sip umbrella drinks in Cancn," she continued before adding, "A reminder that your resignation is 84 days past due. At least."
