AOC Says Anti-Immigrant Republicans Would Prefer to Use Child Labor Than Illegals

Just recently, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez straightened us all out and said that illegal immigrants aren't "takers" — "they’re givers to the U.S. economy and essential to a sustainable future, especially if we want elder generations to age with dignity," she said. Democrats often argue that we need people to pick our vegetables and clean our hotel rooms.
 
Forbes reported last May that governors were turning to child labor due to a lack of workers:

Lawmakers in several states are embracing legislation to let children work in more hazardous occupations, longer hours on school nights and in expanded roles including serving alcohol in bars and restaurants as young as 14.

The efforts to significantly roll back labor rules are largely led by Republican lawmakers to address worker shortages and in some cases run afoul of federal regulations.

The legitimate powers of government extend to such acts only as are injurious to others. But it does me no injury for my neighbor to say there are twenty gods, or no god. It neither picks my pocket nor breaks my leg.

  • That is the problem with everything. They try and make it better without realizing the old is fine.

Is she being "Primaried"  I hope she is.
You don’t become cooler with age but you do care progressively less about being cool, which is the only true way to actually be cool.

In her District?  It is to laugh.

She will soon be of age to run for president. She is deranged but knows how to lie to get attention and votes.
I Believe in the United States of America as a Government of the people, by the people, for the people; whose just powers are derived from the consent of the governed; a democracy in a republic; a sovereign nation of many sovereign states; a perfect union one and inseparable; established upon those principles of freedom, equality, justice and humanity for which American patriots sacrificed their lives and fortunes.  I therefore believe it is my duty to my country to love it; to support its Constitution; to obey its laws to respect its flag; and to defend it against all enemies.

From the article….

Further evidence that a degree in economics is worth spit

They are bankrupting cities.
I have little interest in streamlining government or in making it more efficient, for I mean to reduce its size. I do not undertake to promote welfare, for I propose to extend freedom. My aim is not to pass laws, but to repeal them.

She doesn't need to as long as her party controls the voting machines and vote count outside her district. **nononono*
