While U.S. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) has cultivated quite a loyal far-left social media following, that doesn’t mean she actually knows what she’s talking about.

And when it comes to President Donald Trump’s effort to reverse the Biden administration’s surge of illegal immigration, border czar Tom Homan says the New York Democrat has a few things to learn.

Following a string of critical statements Ocasio-Cortez has made about him and the Trump administration’s immigration policy in general, Homan offered a characteristically blunt response.

As the New York Post reported:

“I take pleasure in the fact I can live in her mind rent free every day,” Homan told Fox News “The Ingraham Angle” host Laura Ingraham on Wednesday.

“That means I’m over the target. That means I’m making a difference,” the Trump administration official added.

Ocasio-Cortez recently argued that Homan’s frequent appearances on cable news shows are “taking resources away” from law enforcement efforts to counter illegal activity.

“Every time you see Tom Homan on Fox News, every time you see Kristi Noem, every time you see these law enforcement officials doing flashy television interviews, understand that they are taking resources away from looking at human trafficking – they are taking attention, focus, real dollars and real resources away from actual drug enforcement, trafficking enforcement and actually going after and trying to investigate really harmful activity that is happening,” the far-left “Squad” rep said during an interview earlier this month with YouTuber Brian Tyler Cohen.

Of course, this wasn’t the first time Homan shared a few choice words about the leftist lawmaker:

The Daily Caller also covered Homan’s latest barb:

Homan said that the achievements in securing the border and enhancing safety have surpassed any efforts made by Ocasio-Cortez.

“So we’re going to keep doing what we do. I’m not running a popularity contest. If she don’t like me, I’ll wear that as a badge of honor. That means I’m doing the right thing,” Homan said.

Ocasio-Cortez has been picking fights with Homan, targeting him during a live-streamed virtual event titled “Know Your Rights With ICE” on her Facebook page, where she advised undocumented immigrants on how to deal with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) raids. She also offers tips on her website on how to evade federal agents, including not opening the door and remaining silent.

Homan called Ocasio-Cortez “the dumbest congresswoman” for her active opposition to ICE operations. He warned that her advice to undocumented immigrants on evading ICE could lead to consequences.
