Ocasio-Cortez: ICE Doesn’t ‘Deserve a Dime’ of Funding

Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D., N.Y.) said Thursday that she would work to deprive the Department of Homeland Security of funding until the agency adopts more permissive immigration-enforcement policies.

“This is one of the most urgent moral issues and crises that we have in America right now,” Ocasio-Cortez said during a rally outside the Capitol building. “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.

“We’re here to say that an agency like ICE, which repeatedly and systematically violates human rights, does not deserve a dime,” she added.

Invoking Secretary of Homeland Security Kirstjen Nielsen’s claim that the agency does not have a policy of separating migrant children from their parents, Ocasio-Cortez argued that Nielsen is ignorant of the enforcement policies pursued by her subordinates.

“I will not give one dollar to a secretary who does not care about her life and does not care to investigate a child’s death,” she said to applause. “I will not give one dollar to black-box detention facilities that think that some people in this country are deserving of constitutional protections and others are not.”

Eventually, even the Dems will tell her just like Waters to put a cork in it.  Her mouth that is.

Doing completely away with air travel?  What a f*&^ing flake! 

There were 14 children that died while Obama was president, and not a peep from the lunatic Dems on this.  The Dems are such hypocrites and down right idiots that it is truly a mystery to me how any of them get voted into office.

You ask about Conservatives and then you mention Rubio? Gang of Eight Rubio? (http://i64.tinypic.com/124wzms.gif)



Putting that aside, no Conservative is ever going to overcome any liberal socialists popularity in the liberal socialist media.

I'm not so sure about that. They haven't beat up on Calvin Coolidge in a long time. That has to show they are warming up to him.
