In my younger days, I thought she was this beacon of hope. I hadn’t yet realized how fucking right wing, always dancing with fascism, and imperialist the US was.
If only she was as cool at 16 year me thought she was at the time :(
Under Biden, more asylum seekers are being held in private detention centers than under Trump.
and her response might as well have been written by Nancy Pelosi. god she fucking sucks
the full question and answer
Speaking of our closest neighbors, I want to talk about immigration. Under Biden, more asylum seekers are being held in private detention centers than under Trump. Families are still being separated. The Biden administration kept Trump-era policies that sped up deportations and made it harder for legitimate claimants to come to the U.S. So, what grade do you give the administration on immigration?
Immigration is arguably this administration’s weakest issue. This is one area where our policy is dictated by politics, arguably more so than almost any other. There are very clear recommendations and suggestions that we have made to the administration to provide relief on this issue, and it’s my belief that some of the hesitation around this has to do with a fear around just being seen as approving or providing permission structures, or really just the Republican narratives that have surrounded immigration.
We also need to examine the root causes of this migration and address that this problem doesn’t start at our border, but it starts with our foreign policy.
how the fuck are families still being separated. these people are monsters
They could reform ICE and CBP, or they could instead buy another aircraft carrier.
There’s no hope within the system
Team AOC:
Always
Opportunist
Capitalism-apologists
Not even apologist; straight up capitalist. People forget, in addition to her USAID adventures in Niger, she had a book publishing startup funded by two Israeli venture capitalists, while also working as a strategist at GAGEis Inc. Just bartender stuff.
I remember reading that she only worked for 6 months as a bartender and was actually a co-founder of a startup incubator, but leaned heavily into the bartender image to sell her electoral platform as working class-centric. Her entire career and image are one that is very well manufactured, it seems.
