The woman first began by censuring O’Rourke for his infamous one-liner which states, “hell yes, we’re gonna take your AR-15, your AK-47!”
In her own words:
“Hands off our guns, Beto! You’re not getting our guns. The AR-15 is no more deadly than my Ruger .45.”
A woman told me undocumented immigrants are a "slap in the face" to "legal immigrants."
I told her it's a slap in the face to lock kids in cages.

She then moved to call out O’Rourke stance on immigration. The woman stated that O’Rourke “panders” to illegal immigrants and that offering handouts to criminals who sneak across the border does a disservice to legal immigrants.
In her own words:
“I just think it’s a slap in the face to every legal immigrant who has waited and paid and played by the rules to immigrate to this country, and who have respected our country, our land, our citizens, our laws. […] To just say ‘everybody is welcome here, you all get free stuff and just come on over the border’ is, again, a slap in the face to every legal immigrant like my mother who has come here legally.”

Democrats have repeatedly taken heat for their positions on immigration. During the 2016 presidential election, immigration served as a critical topic during Trump’s campaign. The then-future president vowed to build a wall at the Southern border in order to stop illegal immigration.
