Freshman Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez used her appearance on MSNBC following President Donald Trumps Oval Office address on Tuesday night to demand the president explain why ICE shouldnt be abolished.
Ocasio-Cortez began, No one should feel unsafe in the United States of America. And that includes our amazing and beautiful and productive immigrant community and moreover, the one thing the president has not talked about is the fact he has systematically engaged in the violation of international human rights borders human rights on our border.
During the presidents speech, he explained why he felt the border wall was essential to protect American citizens. Congressional Democratic leadership delivered a counter-speech immediately after Trump finished.
He talked about what happened the day after Christmas on the day of Christmas, a child died in ICE custody. The president should not be asking for more money to an agency that has systematically violated human rights, she continued. The president should be really defending why we are funding such an agency at all because right now what we are seeing is death.
The eight-year-old Guatemalan boy who passed away did so after receiving medical treatment for a cold and a fever.
Ocasio-Cortez added:
Right now what we are seeing is the violation of human rights. These children and these families are being held in
basically freezing boxes that no person should be maintained in for any amount of time let alone the amount of time they are being kept on. And moreover, even if youre anti-immigrant in this country, the majority of immigrant overstays, the majority of the reason people are undocumented is Visa overstay. Its not because people are crossing a border.
I guess AOC didn’t listen to Trump’s National Address last evening. She needs to pay attention to things not just spout thoughts from her biased mind.
Not really. The default setting for all government programs and agencies is that, once initiated, they continue forever, with funding increasing each year. The burden of proof is on those who content, for example, that mohair-producer subsidies are no longer a national security priority.
This child’s parents should be slapped so hard.
Can this be a no Cotex zone?
If this is the type of person people are going to elect, then we need to entirely rethink the purpose and existence of government.
This woman is so stupid that all the rest of us are in danger.
That's why everybody should carry a gun. I always feel safe.
I’d like to see her reaction to Trump declaring that he’s disbanding most of BATF, since most of what they do unconstitutionally infringes on peoples’ 2nd Amendment rights, and that henceforth the feds will no longer maintain information about gun purchases.
She’s a bigger loudmouth than Hogg boy.
Let’s let the Rats explain it...

So how many of the 17,000 violent criminals ICE and the Border Patrol captured and deported would she like left in this country?
He did!! She should try listening instead of talking for a change.
Bingo.
She was given the office right next door to Nancy’s in the capital building. There is a reason for that. Typically, freshman congressman end up in a broom closet in the basement. I am sure there are three or five term congress women that are very jealous of her. This could be exploited.
Especially if she gets coveted committee positions.
If I was the head of the Republicans, I would PAY homeless people to camp out in front of her apartment in DC asking to come in and share her space. Then get her on camera snubbing them.
dont respond to her,just laugh
She is an attention-whore.
Continue the mantra Stupid Stupid Stupid
Do not use her initials. It is her brand and we want her brand to be Stupid
Jokes,
At BU She needed a map to find the economics department, and she never found it obviously.
Stop using her initial they are her brand
We want to brand her.
Never use the preferred names or initials of the opposition.
Is Miss Googly eyes upsetting some people.
what are you talking about?
She is marketing herself and effectively given all the press.
I am talking about counter marketing techniques.
Conservatives are so stupid when it comes to addressing Alinsky manipulations of the narrative.
>>> She just voted to fund ICE 4 days ago.
This ignorant woman is beyond help. Send her back to elementary school to be re-educated.
Imbecile!!
It would be nice if only the lunatic fringe of the party represented by Ocasio-Cortez advocated abolishing ICE, but hasn’t doing so become more or less part of the Democrat’s official party platform? Vato O’Rourke or whatever he likes to call himself ran for Senator in TX on the same agenda, while claiming to be mainstream and moderate.
This gal has no clue about the U.S. as a sovereign country. We have an obligation to OUR citizens. Illegals are NOT OUR CITIZENS. It’s as simple as that. An elected official without this simple understanding has no business being an elected official. The really unfortunate part of this is that Ms. Cortez isn’t the only one. Some of these people really have no business being here. They may be citizens, but by any true definition of that term they are not.
