Open Borders: AOC Wanted To Know Why ICE Should Still Be Funded

Post-Trump speech, the always quotable, usually for the wrong reasons, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez had a question

(Daily Caller) Freshman Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez used her appearance on MSNBC — following President Donald Trump’s Oval Office address on Tuesday night — to demand the president explain why ICE shouldn’t be abolished. (video at the link)

Ocasio-Cortez began, “No one should feel unsafe in the United States of America. And that includes our amazing and beautiful and productive immigrant community and moreover, the one thing the president has not talked about is the fact he has systematically engaged in the violation of international human rights borders — human rights on our border.”

“He talked about what happened the day after Christmas on the day of Christmas, a child died in ICE custody. The president should not be asking for more money to an agency that has systematically violated human rights,” she continued. “The president should be really defending why we are funding such an agency at all because right now what we are seeing is death.”

Remember, she’s now a sitting member of the House Of Representatives, and doesn’t understand the difference between ICE and CBP (Customs and Border Protection). Nor what they do. Nor that the child died due to the actions of the parent in dragging the child 2,000 miles with limited food, water, and hygiene. Nor that the child was in the custody of CBP, not ICE. Nor that long established federal law states that the penalty for a first time offender of being unlawfully present is a small fine and deportation. Which is one of ICE’s duties.

As for feeling unsafe in America, how about all the people who feel unsafe due to the criminals illegally crossing the border, and the drugs and weapons many bring? How about that AOC, along with her open borders palls in the Democratic Party, want to take away firearms from law abiding citizens who want to protect themselves and their families?

Illegal immigrants are ‘acting more American’ than US law & border enforcement officers. Quite a take. https://t.co/gZcsiUFNsa

Will AOC be sponsoring any of these migrants in her own home?
