Will she be traveling down to the border to fake-cry in expensive clothing for the photo-op? Does she not realize that Biden’s announcement is a scam, since the up to 20 mile long wall will not be permanent, but, a temporary one? That it is expected to be done in 2025? Meaning that this is all a scam which will never occur, it’s just posturing for the 2024 election?
Ocasio-Cortez on border wall announcement: President must ‘take responsibility,’ ‘reverse course’
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.”
The waived environmental laws will expedite the construction of barriers in Starr County, Texas, which is a highly trafficked entry point along the southern U.S. border, the Department of Homeland Security noted. The Associated Press reported that roughly 245,000 migrants have illegally crossed the border there this fiscal year. (snip)
“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.”
I wonder how many illegals, mostly young men, are in her neighborhoods in SCNY and D.C.? I wonder if she realizes her own buildings have walls and security to keep the riff-raff out? That Biden is building a wall around his beach house? Oh, and that Biden is also showboating by resuming deportation flights for illegals from Venezuela?
If fences do not work, then why did she not complain about all the fences that went up around the Capitol Building and the other Congressional buildings?
Greg Abbott and Ron DeSantis should send a few busloads to AOC’s neighborhoods in SCNY and D.C., see how she likes it.
You don’t belong here.
