Ocasio-Cortez: Abolish ICE and Defund DHS Because ‘We Are a Nation of Laws’
Breitbart ^ | 7 Feb 2019 | Kyle Morris

Posted on 02/07/2019 2:43:04 PM PST by KC_Lion

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.”

Sorry, pal. Just wanted you to experience the full effect of her stupidity.

Sorry, but I miss the experience when 1/3 of the image runs off the screen. The wording is completely lost.

Use width="?%" and everybody can be happy. Even works with smartphones.

Sometimes she almost laughs when she throws out one of her wacky declarations. She’s not so stupid that she doesn’t know she’s being ridiculous. She swings for the fences, that’s for sure. Her handlers have taken a page from the Trump playbook.

The Trump playbook.

Yes, say something outrageous and guarantee coverage.

Free publicity.

As I said before, nobody is that stupid.

It’s an act.

I would tend to agree with her, but, they broke one law, not coming in the legal way, to get access to all the free-bees that stepping foot on U.S. territory affords. Now, if AO-C wants to house them and see that they make their court date, more power to her. I don’t think she will, and, 1 in 1000 are not good odds that they will meet the criteria.

Reminds me of incense.

I’ve always disliked the smell. It is obnoxious to me.

That’s sort of the same effect she has on me.

Nation of Laws?

Well, sure.

Too bad they aren’t enforced.

Loony Commie.

Clearly not a nation of laws: high criminals and traitors fill the halls of DC; DOJ, FBI, CIA, Dems, Reps...

Even more clearly, a nation of the insane. The good sleep in their delusions and the bad live out their demonic inspired fantasies. We-The-People have no lawful representation.

"We're a nation of laws." Whose? Hers?

Let me get this straight. We're supposed to do away with legal agencies because . . . they're illegal? Non-citizens don't have to obey our laws, yet citizens are somehow the villains?

I am really -- seriously -- convinced that she has some kind of learning disability. She is even beyond mockery at this point.

The problem is, she can get away with this because she's young, pretty, female, non-white -- and endearingly earnest.

Scientists are still baffled that a human body can walk and talk without a brain; news at 11.

We should defend the FBI, CIA and IRS in ANY ORDER!

Before even thinking about defunding ICE or DHS
