Warren Backs AOC's Illegal Immigrant Welfare Plan

Democratic presidential candidate Elizabeth Warren endorsed a Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez policy proposal that includes taxpayer-funded welfare benefits for illegal immigrants.

Ocasio-Cortez's proposal, dubbed "A Just Society," calls for nationwide rent control and bans the federal government from denying welfare benefits based on an individual's immigration status and previous criminal convictions.

Warren's quick embrace of Ocasio-Cortez's plan is the latest sign of the social media superstar's policy impact on the Democratic presidential field.

Neither Ocasio-Cortez nor Warren returned requests for comment.

Ocasio-Cortez's proposal, consisting of six separate bills, calls for the expansion of welfare.

Bills three and four make it illegal for the federal government to deny welfare benefits to ex-convicts and illegal immigrants.

A Just Society is Ocasio-Cortez's latest major policy initiative since introducing the Green New Deal, a $94.4 trillion environmental policy proposal that would have no effect on the environment.
