Thread: Ocasio-Cortez: No Wall Money for ‘Unstable’ Trump

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) said on Monday that Congress should not give any money to “unstable” President Donald Trump for a border wall.

“This idea that we should be compromising and giving $5 billion to an unstable person… and say, okay… well, let’s just incarcerate a few more kids this year. No,” she said at the MLK Now 2019 event at New York’s Riverside Church. “The answer is no.”

The freshman Democratic-Socialist Representative, who said Democrats do not have to compromise their values to find common ground with others, has previously called Trump a “racist” and the border wall a “racist” “monument to hate.” She also ran on a platform that included abolishing Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).

After Trump offered on Saturday to extend the work permits of Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) recipients and those with Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for three years in exchange for $5.7 billion for the construction of physical barriers along U.S.-Mexico border, other amnesty activists said “no way” to the deal.

Greisa Martinez Rosas, United We Dream’s executive director, said Trump’s deal would lead to “more kids in cages, more deportations, and more misery. NO way.”

Former Rep. Luis Gutierrez, who is now a senior policy adviser for the National Partnership of New Americans (NPNA), which condemned Trump’s proposed deal, even compared Trump to Leonid Brezhnev.

“President Donald Trump sharing remarks during his shutdown over his border wall in front of a U.S. citizenship oath ceremony is like Soviet strongman Leonid Brezhnev giving a speech on freedom in front of the Berlin Wall,” Gutierrez said over the weekend. “President Trump has worked systematically to build a ‘Second Wall’ to prevent immigrants from becoming U.S. citizens and fully participating in our democracy.”

Avideh Moussavian, legislative director at the National Immigration Law Center, blasted Trump for “rehashing nonstarter proposals to once again torpedo every good-faith effort to fix the very harms he created in service of his racist, xenophobic agenda.”

“To blindly trust that this isn’t just another attempt to hurt our immigrant and border communities would be foolish,” Moossavian added. “The Trump administration has taken immigrant youth and other immigrant communities, our government, and the financial well-being of 800,000 federal workers hostage to his demands. We should call this so-called ‘deal’ what it really is: an extortionist wishlist dressed up to look like an offer.”

Who is she to call anyone unstable?

She is nuts. She made a statement about people getting "ringworm" because they have no insurance. She does not even know what ringworm is! LOL...it is a fungus, like athlete's feet. It is in the soil or from cats, etc.

Did she think it was intestinal parasites, like tapeworms? Not only can she tend bar...she is an expert medical advisor, Doctor and Brain Surgeon. Let's put her in charge of the Center for Disease Control...she needs a thorough exam!

Oh...I forgot, she is a financial genius too!

Boy, the Democrats certainly hit the jackpot, she can wear many hats! Or did they hit the "crackpot"...she is out of her mind!

Just heard Rush talking about her. He says the media is propping her up (which has seemed obvious to me) but they will turn on her eventually and knock her down. He says the media often does this with politicians however they didn't prop Trump up so they can't knock him down.

If we do not need a wall, ICE and border security...then why do we need the TSA?

Just let anybody fly into the country as they wish, and let anybody on a plane as they wish, without the IMMORAL TSA and immoral airport security.

If it is a global right to illegally migrate to any country you want and barge right in, is it also a global human right to fly into any country you want without security?

Let's all head for Australia, Switzerland and New Zealand...see how they like this new policy.

So in theory, anybody from any country, can get on a airplane, come here and demand asylum, bypass the IMMORAL security agents. After all, it is their human right. Eh Chuck and Nancy?

Wild eyed Bolshevik and anyone that takes her seriously is delusional IMO.

LOL!! HA! HA! Hilarious! Love that one. I love good political cartoon humorists. They're the best!!
