New border photos reveal Biden’s ‘Kids in Cages’ issue: AOC’s absence?
Putting People in Cages at the Border: Where’s the Outrage?
Putting people in cages after they illegally cross the U.S.-Mexico border is old news. In fact, for Democrats, it’s so old it isn’t worth noticing anymore.
Retired ICE official John Fabbricatore posted photos on X on Wednesday showing illegal immigrants detained in Arizona.
“Hundreds in custody on top of what was caught last night,” Fabbricatore stated, adding that Border Patrol is “overwhelmed and this administration is letting this happen with no support!”
Right now in Ajo AZ Sector for the Border Patrol. Hundreds in custody on top of what was caught last night. Already getting reports of large numbers crossing and Border Patrol trying to respond. They are overwhelmed and this administration

Where’s Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez when you need her? The Democrat from New York is known for her outrage when the government puts people in cages at the border.
When AOC visited the Texas border as a congressional candidate back in 2018, she was so horrified by what she saw that she famously did a photo shoot showcasing her distress.
Before @AOC hit the national stage & was just a fairly unknown House candidate frm NYC,she took time awy frm her campaign & came dwn to #Tornillo to protest the #tentcity housing migrant children.I made these previously unpublished fotos a yr ago today. #elpaso #aoc #onassignment pic.twitter.com/SWyyI1XVt9

AOC went so far as to accuse former President Donald Trump of running “concentration camps” at the border, according to CNN.
She wasn’t alone.
Democratic lawmakers like Sen. Chris Van Hollen of Maryland and Rep. Peter Welch of Vermont also visited the border in 2018 and told sob stories about “kids in cages.”
Where are they now? Why aren’t they outraged by the Biden administration caging migrants?
Because the shock and anger were put-ons for political expediency. They don’t care about illegal immigrants in cages — but they can pretend to if a Republican administration put them there.
Social media users wasted no time pointing out the hypocrisy:

“Hundreds of people kept in cages, outside in record heat. Media + Dems no longer care,” conservative commentator Stephen L. Miller said.

Remember, Trump was trying to curb illegal immigration, not grow it like a tomato in a greenhouse as Biden is.
Now that Biden has opened the border to illegal migrants and in so doing encouraged them to cross over and sit in these cages, you would think AOC would be doubly outraged. She’s not.
Somehow, Democrats are able to maintain lockstep on illegal immigration when they know people are getting hurt, even killed.
A minimum of 853 illegal migrants died trying to cross the southern border in 2022. That makes it the deadliest year ever. I don’t hear any D.C. Democrats lamenting that fact.
Why? Because they don’t care. If they cared at all, they’d try to do something about it. They don’t.
They ignore it because their team is in charge.

Where is the outrage from Democratic lawmakers, such as Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, who previously expressed intense concern and disgust over the detainment of illegal immigrants under a Republican administration?
S in custody on top of what was caught last night,” Fabbricatore stated, adding that Border Patrol is “overwhelmed and this administration is letting this happen with no support!” These words from a retired ICE official highlight the ongoing issue of detaining illegal immigrants at the U.S.-Mexico border. It raises the question: Where is the outrage?
For Democrats, the issue of putting people in cages at the border seems to be old news. It is no longer worth noticing. But why is this the case? Retired ICE official John Fabbricatore’s recent photos on X showing illegal immigrants detained in Arizona should have sparked outrage and concern from lawmakers. However, there seems to be a lack of attention and response from those who were previously vocal about the issue.
One example is Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, also known as AOC. When she visited the Texas border as a congressional candidate back in 2018, she was deeply disturbed by what she saw and expressed her distress through a photo shoot. Her outrage was palpable. But where is she now? Why isn’t she speaking out against the Biden administration’s handling of detained migrants?
AOC had even gone as far as accusing former President Donald Trump of running “concentration camps” at the border. She was not alone in her condemnation. Democratic lawmakers like Sen. Chris Van Hollen of Maryland and Rep. Peter Welch of Vermont also visited the border in 2018 and shared heartbreaking stories about “kids in cages.” But now that the cages are still in place under the Biden administration, where is their outrage?
The answer seems to lie in political expediency. The shock and anger expressed by these lawmakers were performative acts, meant to gain political points. They do not genuinely care about the issue of illegal immigrants in cages. It is merely a convenient talking point for them, especially when it can be used against a Republican administration. Now that their political ally is in power, they conveniently choose to remain silent.
This blatant hypocrisy has not gone unnoticed by social media users, who have quickly pointed out the inconsistencies. Photos and videos of these lawmakers condemning the caging of immigrants under a Republican administration are
