BREAKING NEWS – New York City, New York – An area in Squad member Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s district is being described as looking more like a Third World country as opposed to a thriving American neighborhood, as desperate migrants block up sidewalks selling food and shilling clothing items while prostitutes openly solicit sex from passersby — reportedly including teens.

The neighborhoods of Corona, Jackson Heights and Elmhurst — a once-vibrant community in northwestern Queens — has now essentially deteriorated into a large flea market with trash overflowing on street corners, leading to unsavory and unhygienic conditions.

“People that are criticizing the area, are not acknowledging the accomplishments,” Ocasio-Cortez boldly stated. “A few months ago, this exact same area looked like a Fifth World country. Last month it looked like a Fourth World country, and today it looks like a Third World country. To me, that’s undeniable progress… even if it remains that way!”
