'Hell No': Ocasio-Cortez Denounces Pelosi-Approved Vote on McConnell's Border Bill Without New Protections for Children

[commondreams.org]

{Ocasio-Cortez, however, appeared furious and said that neither McConnell nor President Donald Trump could be trusted:

This Senate Bill will have us write a $4.6 Billion blank check (incl military $) for the border w NO accountability - just a verbal pinky promise.

Trump is not to be trusted with protecting our immigrants. Why must that even be stated? We need hard lines of protection, in ink.}

Well she speaks progressive, but guess what.

House drops Democratic border measure after moderates rebel, passing $4.6 billion aid bill backed by Senate, Trump administration

The House passed a $4.6 billion emergency spending bill for the humanitarian crisis on the U.S.-Mexico border, after Democratic leaders scrapped efforts to amend the legislation to add more restrictions on the Trump administration.

102 representatives got to make themselves look like they care. While we just handed over 4.6 billion, how do they say that, yes, with a B, billion dollars. At nearly $800 dollars a day for a child currently living in stand up room only, dirty filthy conditions and cloths, while a large portion of those around them are spreading illnesses, hungry and dehydrated. Have I mentioned cages yet? Yea, that's right. Some of them are living in cages and barely get a moment free outside if they'll lucky.

What aren't you being told? How much of that $800 dollars is going to private corporations milking us and the system. Which is what most of that 4.6 billion is going to go towards also. What else aren't you hearing, even last night in the debates? Anything to do with the real reason we have an immigration problem. Even the people of Mexico are now complaining about the conditions and how their newly national guard are being used at the border.

I have an idea. How about taking that money and putting those people to work! You want to fuck up the properties of US citizens on the border over a wall they don't want. I bet you might find a few that would sell or offer some land to put these people to work building their own small communities. Which would also provide farmers and ranchers good help in the long run. All governments involved laid waste to these peoples countries for the sake of the global elite, at least give them some dignity back rather than kick them while they're down looking for a better life.

84 to 8 in the senate! Jesus fucking Christ! These are people that hook wink the population about how religion is such an important aspect of their lives and for our country. If I believed in that shit I would say their actions are that of Lucifer's minions. Everything they do ends with death and destruction for the benefit of greed. Every thing good you think they do, is a deception towards a means to under play the good in the future. Remember my words! These people are playing chess while they have you on a checker board, they're several years ahead of you. How many times does it take to find 10 years have got behind you? Pink Floyd.

Hanging on in quiet desperation is the English way
The time is gone, the song is over,
Thought I'd something more to say.

Then they came after me!
