Ocasio-Cortez on border wall announcement: President must ‘take responsibility,’ ‘reverse course’
The Hill ^ | 10/6/23 | Laurin Irwin

Posted on 10/05/2023 10:16:27 PM PDT by DeathBeforeDishonor1

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) released a statement Thursday condemning the Biden administration’s decision to waive 26 federal laws, which will allow border wall construction to commence in Texas.

“The Biden administration was not required to expand construction of the border wall — and they certainly were not required to waive several environmental laws to expedite the building,” the congresswoman said in her statement. “The President needs to take responsibility for this decision and reverse the course.”

“A wall does nothing to deter people who are fleeing poverty and violence from coming to the United States,” Ocasio-Cortez said in her statement. “Walls only serve to push migrants into more remote areas, increasing their chances of death. It is a cruel policy.”

The New York congresswoman said the country needs to reevaluate the root of migration and how policy affects Latin America. She said the country has to “finally invest in meaningful immigration reform.”

Ocasio-Cortez has been an outspoken advocate for immigration reform, as New York City has seen a recent influx of migrants arriving in the city.

One sure sign of autumn season approaching is when tree leave start changing color.

One sure sign of election season approaching is when crooked politicians start changing their bad policies to fool stupid voters

Trespassers can’t be charged for leaving miles of feces trails.

Of course you did. This isn't one of those 'if' things though. You may want to visit the link below. I'll try to hot link it but get tired of trying to make that work here.

“It can be like Doctor Zhivago.”

I met someone who lived out that scene, in the Soviet Union. A bunch of comrades were moved into their home, and, shortly thereafter, the original owner and family were forced out onto the street as “parasites”.
