The REAL irony here is Joseph and Mary were traveiling to be enumerated in a TAX CENSUS! AOC should be thrilled that then-powers-that-be were taxing everything that breathed and people had to suffer travel hardships to be counted and taxed. It's what she wants for all of us.

Wiki..

In 6 CE Publius Sulpicius Quirinius, the newly-appointed Imperial Legate (governor) of the province of Roman Syria, was tasked to carry out a tax census of the new province of Judea, one of the three territories into which the kingdom of Herod the Great had been divided on his death in 4 BCE. The Gospel of Luke links the birth of Jesus to the census:

In those days a decree went out from Emperor Augustus that all the world should be registered. This was the first registration and was taken while Quirinius was governor of Syria. All went to their own towns to be registered. Joseph also went from the town of Nazareth in Galilee to Judea, to the city of David called Bethlehem, because he was descended from the house and family of David. He went to be registered with Mary, to whom he was engaged and who was expecting a child.
  — Luke 2:1–5
