AOC, other Dems drowned out by screaming protesters at NYC migrant crisis news conference

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., and other Democrats were loudly heckled Friday at a press conference in New York City regarding the migrant crisis there.

The Democrats, who spoke outside the Roosevelt Hotel in Manhattan, which has become a relief center for asylum seekers, were drowned out by shouting protesters chanting, "Send them back!" and "Close the border!"

"Close the border! Close the border! Respect the constitution, AOC! I am your constituent!," a man was heard among the angry crowd, shouting into a megaphone. 

"What we seek to do is to make sure that all the resources are necessary and that we are joining with the city and state," Ocasio-Cortez said before the man wielding the megaphone shouted over her, saying, "Illegal immigration is not right! Respect the constitution, close the border!"
