Rep. Ocasio-Cortez urges illegal immigrants to apply for Biden's child tax credit

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) encouraged eligible illegal immigrants to apply for the child tax credit passed by Congress and signed by President Joe Biden in March.

The socialist Democrat firebrand made the comments to reporters during a media briefing Thursday at an IRS office in New York City. She outlined what applicants needed to do in order to make sure they would receive the payments and touted centers where they could receive help applying online.

"These centers are also offering help to undocumented folks with eligible children," she said.
