Ocasio-Cortez claims climate change is driving migrant crisis

ep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., claimed climate change is a “major factor” of the global migrant crisis after earlier suggesting that the United States would have “blood on our hands” if legislation is not passed to tackle climate change.

“The far-right loves to drum up fear & resistance to immigrants,” the freshman congresswoman tweeted on Tuesday. “But have you ever noticed they never talk about what‘s causing people to flee their homes in the first place?

“Perhaps that’s bc they’d be forced to confront 1 major factor fueling global migration: Climate change.”

Illegals don’t need a reason to enter.

It’s dems stuffing more arrows in their quivers. To a dem, none of this sounds insane.

No matter it has been recently debunked with CO2 levels of 3 million years ago to be the same as today yet with temps 7 degrees higher...

Looks like AOC has a conflict of interest. Should she help illegals or should she help the climate?

” I don’t understand it-”

I think it’s a matter of marketing. There is an equation that says if you put x amount into marketing something, you will make y amount of money. The test to see if it worked was The Pet Rock. It made exactly the amount predicted. I think you can do the same with people. In the ‘70’s a promoter would turn anybody into a superstar for a year. It could be anybody and talent was not a consideration. And, so, these poor kids would be covered with fame and glory and then...disappear into nothingness. I suspect that the moment the “marketing” carried out by the media stops, that AOC will disappear.

(I have to wonder if AOC’s creators are having second thoughts. Her general lack of intelligence and grace have made her into a gaff machine. She is the perfect example of better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to open one’s mouth and remove all doubt. Oh, and her little girl voice, like arsenic, is okay in small doses.)

So George Soros’s middle name must be climate change because the money to feed and transport all those people in caravans is coming from somewhere.

“The uninformed youth supporters, for which she has many, think she is a genius.”

I don't think the way to deal with her is name calling. That just plays into the left’s hands - and won't change the opinions of those who believe what her and the rest of the left are saying. I think the way to deal with her is to consistently call her out publicly, and respectfully, on the dogma she keeps pushing - and refute her factually.

Typical leftist/socialist/fascist blather. I mean, do they have any other whipping boys? Whenever anything bad, or at least what they perceive and spin as "bad" is going on they trot out one or more of their stock scapegoats or things they want to demonize:

It's because of global warming.

It's because of racism.

It's because of homophobia.

It's because of islamophobia.

It's because of big-oil. (haven't heard this one in a while)

It's because of cronyism.

It's because of ageism, sexism, or some other "ism."

It's because of white privilege.

Anyone who has wasted a little time taking in anything the leftists have spewed out over the last decade or more knows this. For the rest of you, we can save you some time. Once you've heard the leftists blame something on one of these boogiemen issues/traits/whatever then you've pretty much heard all of their whining. These are all they have. Their fundamental message is the world is a terrible place because these things run rampant (all real evidence to the contrary) and if we'd only give them complete power and control over our lives they could make things so much better. Yeah, 1930s Germany better. 2010s Venezuela better. Because things are so bad here people are fleeing the US by the tens of thousands and illegally entering other Countries...oh...wait...that's right, the actual situation is reversed. Gee, things must not be all that terrible here after all.

Time now for the hard question.

AOC, pkease explain how this is so?

It is my observation that many dems, AOC included, use bumper sticker slogans exclusively. There is no substance behind any proposal they spew.

You summed it well.

They have nothing positive to offer, so they play the blame game.

Maybe global warming caused Netanyahu to win in Israel.
