AOC’s High-Level Hire of an Illegal Alien—Who Escaped ICE—Exposes a Pattern of Harboring Undocumented Immigrants in Violation of 8 U.S.C. § 1324a

This is not merely a bureaucratic issue. National security experts warn that the employment of a foreign national—who is in the country illegally and holds a high-level position—could expose sensitive information to potential exploitation. Critics contend that by hiring someone in such a precarious legal status, Rep. Ocasio-Cortez has, wittingly or unwittingly, endangered U.S. national security interests. The potential for unauthorized disclosure of classified information, whether intentional or accidental, is a risk that cannot be ignored.

Legal analysts point out that the maximum sentence under 8 U.S.C. § 1324a for combined violations could reach up to 10 years. Such harsh penalties underscore the severity of the alleged offenses. The statute is designed to serve as a deterrent, ensuring that individuals who flagrantly violate immigration laws—and by extension, compromise national security—are held fully accountable.

AOC Under Scrutiny – Calls for a Full Investigation

The controversy has placed Rep. Ocasio-Cortez squarely in the spotlight. Critics argue that her decision to employ de la Vega, despite his illegal status, is emblematic of a broader disregard for immigration laws. His role in her campaign and subsequent appointment to a sensitive position is seen as part of a pattern where actions intended to support undocumented immigrants have instead led to potential breaches of legal and national security protocols.
