During her appearance on "The Daily Show," a renowned platform for political discourse, Ocasio-Cortez suggested that the key to resolving the border crisis lies in "documenting people."

Ocasio-Cortez stated, "From all parts of the political spectrum, one of the biggest issues that we have when it comes to immigration is the fact that we have an undocumented population. Now, you can fix that by trying to build a wall, or you can fix that by trying to document people and create a path to citizenship."

She further added, "We'll have folks that might say, 'Look at these systems,' you know, that our shelter system has weight and things like that, but one of the reasons our public systems experience weight is because people don't have a documented and reliable path to work and sustain themselves just like all of our ancestors did and our grandparents and great-grandparents from all parts of the political spectrum."

According to Ocasio-Cortez, the issue of illegal immigration could be resolved by granting documented status to the millions of people crossing the border. However, critics argue that this is already being done through Joe Biden's catch-and-release policy, which allows illegal immigrants to enter the country's interior. Some reports even suggest that work authorizations are being issued.

Despite these efforts, Ocasio-Cortez's proposal has been met with skepticism. Critics argue that granting legal work authorization to every illegal immigrant is tantamount to relinquishing the concept of a border, a move that aligns with the Democrats' agenda.

Even if such a system were to be implemented, critics argue that it would not resolve the problem. Instead, it would encourage more people to migrate to America, exacerbating the border crisis. The administrative burden of issuing work authorizations would also be overwhelming.

The primary issue at the border, critics argue, is the incentives that encourage illegal immigration. They suggest that building a wall and ending the catch-and-release policy would deter illegal immigrants, as the perilous and costly journey would no longer be worthwhile. Conversely, documenting people would only intensify these incentives.

Critics argue that even constructing a wall would have minimal impact given the current state of affairs. They propose asylum reform as the only viable solution to curb illegal immigration. This would involve detaining individuals who cross the border and claim asylum, and swiftly adjudicating their claims. If enough people are denied and sent back, it would send a clear message to potential immigrants.

Ocasio-Cortez's proposal, critics argue, threatens American sovereignty and fails to provide a viable solution to the border crisis. However, given the complexity of the issue, it is clear that a comprehensive and balanced approach is needed to address this ongoing problem.
