Democratic Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and fellow congressional freshmen on Friday urged negotiators trying to hammer out a border-security compromise and avoid another government shutdown to cut funding for the Department of Homeland Security, claiming the agency has “promulgated an agenda driven by hate—not strategy.”
Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y. and Reps. Ilhan Omar, D-Minn.; Ayanna Pressley, D-Mass.; and Rashida Tlaib, D-Mich., penned a letter to lawmakers on the bicameral, bipartisan conference committee tasked with drafting new legislation to address border-security and DHS funding.
“We write to you today seeking your solidarity and support to enter in to the DHS conference committee process with clear eyes,” they wrote, slamming agencies under the Department of Homeland Security, like Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and Customs and Border Patrol (CBP), and urging lawmakers to follow “critical” guidelines to protect immigrant families.
“Cut, do not increase funding,” they wrote. “The deal reached by the Conference Committee should not allocate any additional funding to this department or to the ICE and CBP agencies. The upcoming FY 2020 budget process will be a critical opportunity to take up conversations about reforms to the agency. In the meantime, not another dollar.”
Any push to cut DHS funding, however, would likely run into Trump's veto pen and risk another shutdown.
The letter was sent one week after Congress passed a short-term spending package to reopen the government after a 35-day partial shutdown—the longest in U.S. history. The stopgap spending bill funds the government through Feb. 15, and did not include any funding for Trump’s long-promised wall along the U.S.-Mexico border.

I sure hope they have extra security at the SOTU.
One of these crazy bitches or their “guests” are liable to come running onto the House floor with a C-4 vest
The new “What Alexandria wants, Alexandria gets” Congress.
With these nutjobs that’s a possibility.
if we had a wall, we could cut DHS funding...
i think she will go for it.
She is the gift that keeps on giving.
In before the “Why are we posting things about Ocasio-Cortez” whiners...
Again, we see the Democrat approach to life — “You seem to have ideas that differ from my ideas. Why are you so filled with hate? I will destroy you so that the Earth can be freed from your bigotry and oppression.”
Tlaib certainly seems capable of it. Picture Trump as Caesar and the Democrats crowding around him. What could go wrong...
This woman and her allies might as well be RUSSIAN and CHINESE AGENTS out in the open.
As Yoda would say “The stupid is strong in them”
.......Ocasio-Cortez, Ilhan Omar, Ayanna Pressley and Rashida Tlaib....
Those are ALL “Justice Democrats”:

Support Free Republic, Folks!
Have put that on file for the next time Congress gives themselves a raise....what's good for the goose is good for the gander.
Cutting funding is so blase. How about she step up to the plate and take in about 10 illegal roommates.
So the commie puerto rican, the isis somalian and the palestinian jihadi all want no Homeland Security for America, not their homeland so why not? Well in my best Gomer Pyle voice .... surprise, surprise, surprise. There needs to be a way to remove these openly un American Legislators from the American Legislature short of just the most obvious removal method.
Ocasio-Chavez is being used by the media to push their hate-America agenda. She’s the media’s bug-eyed Bolshevik pawn.
Good little open border Socialists.
These skank bitches and their ball less male snowflake counterparts want to pull Americas pants down. Their in for a rude surprise
