The quote is literally

>Go to Puerto Rico fix you abuelas roof and stay living there

I don't think it's a leap to relate that to go back where you came from, and I don't think other people think that either - since the wikipedia page literally cites as an example of this racist trope.... Donald Trump saying

>Why don't they go back and help fix the totally broken and crime infested places from which they came...

Who did he say that in reference to? AOC.

So it's not really a leap is it. But what I'm interested in, is that you claim to read a different meaning into this, so be specific, what do you think the person posting in reply to AOC meant by that?
