Ocasio-Cortez took to the microphone to fight for the rights of those immigrating here illegally.
“This is one of the most urgent moral issues and crises that we have in America right now,” Ocasio-Cortez said to a small crowd of people and reporters gathered outside of the U.S. Capitol. “This is not a political issue. Children dying in detention centers should not be a partisan concern. It should be a universal concern for every American in the United States.”
Ocasio-Cortez then insisted that President Trump was lying when he said he liked “legal immigration.”
“He said and spoke of the idea that he likes, quote-unquote, legal immigration. But that is a lie. The president does not like any form of immigration. He has been cutting down and imposing restrictions on legal forms, on the diversity visa lottery, on family unification, and so on.”
....
“We are a nation and land of laws. Not just some people are subject to laws and others are not,” Ocasio-Cortez claimed. “When we are a land of laws, what that means is that every person that steps foot on this soil deserves the consideration of due process. They deserve the protections. They deserve to have access to our Bill of Rights. That’s what makes this nation special.”

Someone shut this bartender up. Her voters must be brain dead morons.
Well, bartender was a perfect fit for her with the bottle cap remover teeth handily present.
IGNORE it and it will go away.
This is ludicrous.
In the America I grew up in, a first term congressperson, at that age and lack of experience at the BOTTOM OF THE TOTEM POLE in terms of any political or social credit, would be IGNORED BY THE MEDIA. Non issue.
Things have come a long way, and news is manufactured, has devolved to the point of not even wanting to turn to a news channel or hit a news site.
Pelosi will bring her on one of her junkets.
Not for consultation or to lend an air of authority.
To help with refreshments.
One of the dumbest children I’ve ever seen. I would to debate her.
Why are you tarnishing Some Girls.....
To be clear, you are not saying that ICE and Border Patrol (and other enforcement agencies under CBP) should be scrapped?
Correct?
Applies to some & not to others:
I am guessing the NO ONE has sat AOC down & told her that HER congressional health care plan is NOT OBAMACARE, like what was foisted on the rest of America.
I would be investigating HOW she got a college degree. I know people who work at livestock yards that are smarter than she.
You have to be smart there, that’s a real job. No smart test for congress.
You brutes made her cry and she’s just a woman. Meanies.
What if a GOP man started crying over the budget spending going out of control?
He’d be laughed out of politics faster than Ed Muskie, front runner for the Dems who had to withdraw after crying about mistreatment of his wife by the media. (1972)
But also Pat Schroeder——
In 1987, former Colorado Rep. Pat Schroeder memorably broke down upon announcing that she would not seek the Democratic nomination for president. The media frenzy that followed illustrated the tricky terrain for female candidates who show emotion. “Women across the country reacted with embarrassment, sympathy and disgust,” wrote The Chicago Tribune, a week after the incident. (NPR Campaign Trail Tears by Elise Hu).
I just like to know who is mentoring her in the background. Someone with money and power is telling everyone else stay clear. Otherwise I think Pelosi would have put her in a corner by now.
Just DHS. But, once these departments are formed, we never get rid of them. Just like we’ll never get rid of the Departments of Energy and Education.
She's focused on the "immigration" part of ICE, but what about the "customs" part of it?
Ask her, "You want to talk about ignoring illegal entry at the border? How about that Russian caviar, French perfume, Cuban cigars, or Jamaican rum that enter untaxed?
I bet that question would throw her for a loop. She won't know what to say, and will say something really stupid about it.

She could be dangerous.
No matter, she like all other humans can bleed.

Decent observation. It could very easily be true. Perhaps not too, but her personality sure lends itself to that scenario.
