Former ICE Director Thomas Homan rendered socialist Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez utterly speechless on Friday during a congressional hearing after the 29-year-old former bartender tried to grill him about immigration-related policies.
"It says the official recommendation, there were three different options presented, the third included the option for family separation," Ocasio-Cortez said. "This initiative would pursue prosecution of all amenable adults including those presenting with a family unit.
"Mr. Homan, your name is on this, is this correct?" Ocasio-Cortez asked.
"Yes, I signed that memo," Homan replied.
"So, you are the author of the family separation policy?" Ocasio-Cortez asked.
"I'm not the author of this memo," Homan replied.
"You're not the author, but you signed the memo?" Ocasio-Cortez pressed.
"Yes, a zero tolerance memo," Homan responded.
"So, you provided the official recommendation to Secretary Neilson on families for the United States to pursue family separation?" Ocasio-Cortez asked.
"I gave Secretary Nielson numerous recommendations on how to secure the border and save lives," Homan responded.
"But it says here that you, you gave her numerous options but the recommendation was option three, family separation," Ocasio-Cortez said.
"What I'm saying this is not the only paper where we had given the secretary numerous options to secure the border and save lives," Homan responded.
"And so the recommendation of the many that you recommended, you recommended family separations?" Ocasio-Cortez continued to press as she seemed unable to understand Homan's previous responses.
"I recommended zero tolerance," Homan responded.
"Which includes family separation," Ocasio-Cortez pressed.
"The same as is whatever U.S. citizen parent gets arrested when they're with a child," Homan said.
"Zero tolerance was interpreted as the policy that separated children from their parents," Ocasio-Cortez continued, again not seeming to understand Homan.
"If I get arrested for DUI and I have a young child in the car, I'm gonna be separated," Homan responded. "When I was a police officer in New York and I arrested a father for domestic violence, I separated that father from their family."
"Mr. Homan, with all due respect, legal asylees are not charged with any crime," Ocasio-Cortez said, refusing to acknowledge the majority of people entering the U.S. at the southern border are not legitimate asylum seekers.
"When you're in the country illegally, it's a violation 8 United States Code 13:25," Homan responded.
"Seeking asylum is legal," Ocasio-Cortez responded.
"If you want to seek asylum you go through the port of entry, you do it the legal way," Homan fired back. "The Attorney General of the United States has made that clear."
Ocasio-Cortez had no response for Homan and immediately moved on to question other people.
He does Trump a lot of good on Fox because he has zero tolerance for bulls#it. We need to clone him.
Satire.
They’re evil because they KNOW they’re encouraging illegal crossings and using it as a political weapon. If we stopped them all then people wouldn’t even try...but then they’d lose their political capitol. Plain evil.
They start with “don’t deport them, they’re just looking for a better life”. When you buy into that inch, they take a mile.
- Then the problem of them not wanting to call police has to be “fixed” - done by promising not to deport, encouraging more to come.
- Then they need drivers licenses to get around, encouraging more to come.
- Then they declare themselves a Sanctuary Ciy, encouraging more to come.
- Then they let them VOTE, encouraging more to come.
- Then they want to destroy ICE, encouraging more to come.
- Then they want to provide FREE HEALTH CARE, encouraging ALL to come.
What they really accomplish...
- Sexual assaults on the females, many being raped
- Deaths of the weak
- Finance the cartels, enabling violence and corruption
- Massive financial strain for American’s
- Massive strain on the prison system
- Massive strain on the health system
- Deaths of American’s by criminals
- Deaths of police officers by criminals
AND THEY KNOW IT! This is treason. I don’t understand how these people can enable an invasion and get away with it. Just because the illegals are wearing a uniform doesn’t mean we should allow it.
They are the beholders of chaos, all by design. They want the destruction of this country.
Bawahhhhhhh, stupid twats.
The photo is photoshopped obviously, however the actual photo was her first day when she acted the fool and did a bizarre dance, shouting “We are going to impeach the m—therf—cker”.
His carriage toward her indicated the impatience of having to deal with a drunken loudmouth as a cop.
“...If you want to seek asylum you go through the port of entry, you do it the legal way,...”
Personally, I would have added “... but you already know that, you dumbass little puta...”
Oh ok. I knew the bomb vest was photoshopped, but I didn’t know her allah ackbar celebration dance that she is doing wasn’t in congress. I figured this muzzie wouldn’t respect congress and would still do this while congress is in session.
Ah so she did act a fool in congress right after she was sworn in.
That is the one glaringly obvious thing that hardly anybody in power ever points out. These people are endangering those kids by traveling through cartel-infested deserts. That plus half the kids are not the biological children of the adults transporting them. There’s all this outrage about trafficking kids on Epstein’s Pedo Island, but almost no outrage about the trafficked kids brought into the US through the southern border.
I stopped at a gas station in Southern Oregon a few months ago and there was a sticker on the mirror in the restroom with an emergency phone number on it. It was a number trafficked kids could call to get rescued. Seeing that sticker absolutely shocked me.
They just don't "get" the whole "rule of law" thing.
The only way the Libs can keep the argument ‘for illegals’ going is to intermingle/intermix ‘legal’ and ‘illegal’ under some more generic term — such a ‘migrant’ or ‘immigrant’.
AOC is an oxygen thief...
“”asylees”” Pardon me, witch - you did not ask that question respectfully.....
Who else has used that word? I’ve never heard anyone use it before...
Cry, Baby, Cry!
(A great old song, by the way.)
I think you Freepers are just mean, like AOC's mom.
