Footage taken by Queens resident Ramses Frias shows two streets in the Corona, Jackson Heights and Elmhurst neighborhoods

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s district is being described as looking like a third world country after a video emerged showing trash-covered streets flooded with migrants.

Footage taken by Queens resident Ramses Frias shows two streets in the Corona, Jackson Heights and Elmhurst neighborhoods.

The video shows the streets of the area overflowing with garbage, while migrants who have settled change flea markets to flog clothes.

Roosevelt Avenue has also become known as the ‘girlfriend’s market’, with viral videos showing alleged sex workers lining the streets of the area.

Frias is seen in the footage walking the streets and shedding light on the conditions, which he has compared to a ‘third world market’.

Talking to Fox NewsFrias said: ‘Like most of my like-minded residents we see this as a third world market.

“Basically, you’re just seeing clothes thrown across the floor, items being stolen from donation bins or stolen from stores, and they’re just setting up shop outside of brick-and-mortar businesses.

‘They take away trade from these companies and pay no tax. There are no consequences, they get a free pass’.

The footage was shot on the outskirts of the AOC’s 14th congressional district, often seen as the most culturally diverse in Queens.

Vendors can be seen lining the streets with piles of clothes piled next to them, while others sell sneakers, toys and other miscellaneous items.

As the clip ends, a group of three people can be seen with a booth covering a crosswalk with boxes covering the road.

New York laws stipulate that only licensed vendors are permitted to sell food or merchandise in public spaces.

Sharing the video to social media, Frias added: ‘This is an ongoing problem for this community and the lawlessness must be dealt with immediately.

‘Individuals cannot even get to any entrance to 90th Street Station without walking through a maze of vendors and prostitutes milling around.

Due to the conditions, Frias is now running for Assembly District 39 as a Republican in an effort to clean up the streets

Frias added that prostitutes openly flaunt themselves on the street at all times of the day.

He told Fox: ‘They do what they want, they’re open about it and not discreet.

‘They line up along 90th Street in front of a pizzeria, a 99-cent store, just trying to pull men.

“You will see more women in light clothing. Now it is cold, they are a little covered, but it will be worse in the summer”.

Prostitution is considered a Class B misdemeanor in New York, punishable by up to three months in jail and/or up to a $500 fine.

The New York Police Department raided six establishments allegedly involved in prostitution in the area, with Mayor Eric Adams present.

At the time, Adams said: ‘Sex trafficking is real … and we’re not going to sit back and pretend it’s not happening.’

Because of the conditions, Frias is now running for Assembly District 39 as a Republican in an effort to clean up the streets.

Assemblywoman Catalina Cruz currently holds the seat, and she told Fox that a group of officials is working on ‘safe solutions for quality of life issues.’

Frias is calling for radical change, saying: ‘I’ve lived here all my life, I’ve seen the changes go from good, to bad to worse and it’s on the cusp of worse right now and I don’t want it to go past it.’
