AOC Sheds Tear, Says 'We Are Standing On Native Land' As She Calls To Defund ICE
2019-02-08
[Newsweek] Representative Alexandria Boom Boom Ocasio-Cortez
Dem representative from da Bronx in Noo Yawk. She is known as much for her innaleck as for her dance moves. She is all in favor of socialism, even though she's fuzzy on the details..
 on Thursday called on Congress to cut funding to U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and accused the agency of criminalizing Latinos in the United States, which she called "native land."

The New York Democrat said that ICE does "not deserve a dime until they can prove that they are honoring human rights, until they can make a good-faith effort to expand and embrace immigrants." She said that immigrants have always been a part of the United States and that ICE does "not deserve any resource for their radical agenda."

"We have to have respect for children, respect for families, respect for human rights and respect for the right of human mobility. Because it is a right. It is a right. Because we are standing on native land, and Latino people are descendants of native people," Ocasio-Cortez said. "And we cannot be told and criminalized simply for our identity or our status. Period."

#6  What natives? That natives in Mexico, like in the US, are dead, integrated, or trapped in reservations. They don't exist, and they shouldn't exist, because they lost their bleeding wars, and that was that, a long, long time ago. She is such a disgusting, perfect example of the evils of socialism and the inability to think that collectivism breeds even faster than starvation.

#4  Fine, tell you what, go to Mexico, gather an Army and we'll redo the American-Mexican war, only this time, we're not giving anything back and it's a war to the knife. Mexico has LOTS of nice resources we can use. Once it's depopulated and ours, you can enjoy your free floating existence as ash scattered into the wind.

#3  Another half-baked Socialist that doesn't have the brevity, and wit!, of their predecessors:
Property is theft! (French: La propriété, c'est le vol!) is a slogan coined by French anarchist Pierre-Joseph Proudhon

#2  By abolishing ICE she is hoping to expand the socialist leaning electorate. In return for their votes they get lots of "free" stuff. When the bill comes due she knows there will be no money to pay for it but she figures that by imposing between 70% and 90% tax rate on anything that moves it will take longer to impoverish the nation than it took Venezuela.

No wonder she couldn't get a real job after she got a college degree and had to bartend and waitress for a living.
