    I didn't say anything about Trump. Homeland security has been begging Congress for funds to expand the "camps" She voted against bills that would improve the conditions and the gets on tv and complains about the conditions. Defend that without mentioning Trump

    Good to see the conservatives in the thread have not gotten over their AOC derangement syndrome.

    I don't think you understand the root cause of the problem here. It's three fold.

    Trump purposefully clogging our immigration court system by refusing to hire more judges so the appearance of a crisis is more apparent.

    Trump unlike previous administrations, GOP or Democrat, chose to treat every family unit crossing the border as a criminal offense, instead of a civil matter and therefore detaining and seperating all non violent family units. Previous administrations would issue a court order and let them go. If they miss their court date, then they committed a criminal offense. Obama created a pilot program that had case workers keep tabs on the families. The program cost 36 dollars a day and 99% of the migrants who recieved court orders showed up to their court preceding on time under this program.

    https://www.nbcnews.com/storyline/i...lum-seeking-migrant-families-together-n885896

    And last, Trump is painting all these migrants as illegally crossing the border when most of them voluntarily gave them selves up for asylum requests. Trump is fabricating a story to make an argument for increased border security. How is a wall going to prevent people from voluntarily giving themselves up at checkpoints?

    Again, we don't need to separate these families and detain them in the first places.

    Don’t put your stupid labels on me. And I actually love AOC, she is gorgeous and smart. She just needs to chill on the sound bite attention whoring and she needs to devote more attention to actual citizens. Like there are homeless citizens living on the streets and kids in schools that don’t teach them anything but she’s focused on appealing to potential voters. I love her though, you guys really need to stop taking politics so seriously, you’re starting to sound like wrestling fans lol

    Ironically the policies she has pushed for such as removing corporate money from our elections, removing the unnecessary middleman that is our private health insurance networks, ramping up our public k-12 education are more beneficial to the average American citizen than whatever politician you savy.

    I don’t savy any politicians. They’re all poisonous fruit of the same tree, but they’re entertaining as all hell

    I would not feel safe also if I went to a place of work where 9000 employees are a a part of a private Facebook group that massively liked memes of me being raped.

    Would you call your white whiny female students that you discuss so often "whiny" if they complained about rape jokes about them?

    Well your comments are misguided if you care about the homeless etc. Ocasio-Cortez being a nice cautious back bencher for twenty years therebye going along with the status quo Dems who have been very ineffective in combating growing inequality for 40 years is a loser.
    The Right will do their number on her, no matter how cautious or careful she is,

    How lefty and obnoxious do you have to be to get pissed off at Nancy Pelosi?

    "But the persistent singling out . . . it got to a point where it was just outright disrespectful . . . the explicit singling out of newly elected women of color.”

    that's it . . . Pelosi's a racist

    That’s where civil discourse has gotten. Disagree with me? You’re a racist. Like, seriously? Accusing the Democratic speaker of the house of being a racist... good grief.
