Democratic Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez tore into what she called the Trump administration’s “policy of dehumanization” and stood by claims that detained migrants were told to drink out of toilet bowls at a fiery and emotional hearing about the migrant crisis at the border that featured the New York lawmaker and her freshman allies.
The House Oversight Committee hearing Friday on child separation included a host of high-profile witnesses. Among them were the freshman Democratic lawmakers -- known informally as the "Squad" -- who recounted their recent visit to the border, which itself became a flashpoint in the already raging debate over the migrant surge, poor conditions at detention centers and who's to blame.
At the hearing, Ocasio-Cortez maintained: “This is a manufactured crisis because the cruelty is manufactured.”
The lawmaker -- who demanded to be sworn in before her testimony despite Chairman Elijah Cummings, D-Md., noting this was not normally done -- said that blame was not to be placed on border agents, but on the Trump administration. She took aim at senior adviser Stephen Miller.
"It is a policy of dehumanization implemented by this executive administration made at the feet of Stephen Miller that creates a tinderbox of violence and dehumanization where hurt people hurt people," she said.
Testifying next, Rep. Rashida Tlaib, D-Mich, broke into tears as she recalled what she saw at the border, and also scolded President Trump and others for using the phrase illegal immigrants.

Time to end Miss Zanti Misfit and her crew. She needs to go.
19 seconds. ;-)
Oops. Forgot to include you. :-(
Damn, I went back to embolden "porn" before I hit post. That's what cost me. :-) GMTA, though.
In Germany btw every time you move you have report it, even if you just move next door.
and all everyone heard was BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH
Foreigners that want to come in without a immigration visa or visitor visa, do have a right to come in.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I don’t think you meant what you wrote here.
No visa, no entry.
That’s the way it works in every other country.

If the Left is not above sending poor people on a perilous journey to benefit palm oil plantation owners and corrupt officials, do you think they give a crap about you?
No, no of course not. Sorry about that.
send the mechanics
It’s hard to imagine it getting much better than this.
Claimants could wait in 3/4/5-star hotels in Mexico that US leftists pay for.
Take some of the $30 Kamala Harris T-shirt money and put it to work in Mexico, por favor.
I was thinking the same thing. At what point did trump make these people think he wanted them here?
Vitriolic rhetoric! Since there were no questions allowed, this was only an opportunity for theatrical rantings. Since she demanded to be placed under oath, now is the time to demand that she prove what she has said is true. If she cannot prove the things she has accused the administration of, she should, at minimum, be censured by the Congress. The ideal action would be for her to be expelled from the body of the House of Representatives.
The REALLY weird thing is,
There’s NO CRISIS at a border, when you STAY in your OWN COUNTRY.
I know. It’s really weird how that works.
Democrats are still trying to figure out how that works.
Oh wait, no they aren’t.
Yet again Congress is turned into a soap opera. What world do these 2 skanks live in? certainly not one of fact or law and order.
Someone should kick both of these b*tches in the a$$.
Pelosi is far too gentle with them. I can hardly wait to see them defeated when they come up again for election, then both can blat for an eternity.
If they were told to drink out of toilet bowls it probably would have been told to them by a Spanish speaking person.
