Ocasio-Cortez Says ‘Getting Rid’ of DHS Is Not as ‘Radical’ as Its Creation
The Epoch Times ^ | 07-21-19 | JANITA KAN

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) said eliminating the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is not as “radical” as former President George W. Bush’s implementation of the department after the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks. Ocasio-Cortez made the comments during a town hall event on immigration in New York on July 20. The comments were first highlighted in a video by the Republican National Committee. “That criminalization frame has justified abuse [sic] of human beings. That’s one big reason why we have to take things from a criminalized frame to a civil frame,” she said. “And when people say ‘Oh, you wanna to talk about dismantling DHS or abolishing ICE or all of these things. These are such radical agendas.’ First of all, I think that reorganizing and getting rid of DHS is not as radical as George Bush’s creation, implementation of DHS in the first place.”

Someone should file legislation which would eliminate any protection provided to occasional Cortex by the Capitol Police.

When I look at this photo I imagine her mixing up a Tom Collins...something that she's actually qualified for.

I see a lot of comments on hov Cortez might be right. What y’all are missing, is that she probably doesn’t know DHS is separate from ICE or CBP. She thinks they’re all the same group.

Sure. Last desperate act to seek agreement.

Why don’t we just decriminalize everything? Dump DOJ and the entire USC.

Who’s swallowing this tripe?

For the ignorant among us, DHS is not the problem: The Patriot Act is the problem. DHS is just more bloat which the new omnibus once again failed to address: Trump’s achilles heel (spending).
