Ocasio-Cortez Says Being A Citizen Is Racist

Ocasio-Cortez Says Being A Citizen Is Racist

Carmine Sabia at The Federalist Papers reports that New York Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez appears to be competing with herself to see which of her statements could be the most ridiculous.
LMAO!
She caused waves on Saturday by stating that immigrants who arrived at Ellis Island did not get into the United States in a legal fashion.
Gotta love the rich irony of people who fondly recount stories of how their family’s last names were changed on Ellis Island after their relatives snuck onto a boat escaping some horror now taking fervent anti-immigrant stances & branding innocent human beings as “illegal.”,’” she said.


“The reason your abuela was ‘legal’ was likely bc there was effectively no ‘illegal’ US immigration when she came, except for the Chinese.
“The US’ first imm law was the Chinese Exclusion Act &; explicit racism was allowed as legal grounds for US immigration laws until *1952.*,” she said in a tweet to someone who said their aunt came legally.
When called on how incorrect that statement was she chose not to acknowledge that she had made an error, but to keep pushing it by saying citizenship is racist.
“The history of Citizenship in the US is deeply woven with the history of racism. It has been used as the legal enforcer of racism for most of US history.
“Citizenship affords power, & that’s why citizenship of African Americans was long denied too – to both slaves & descendants,” she said.
“Dred Scott was the landmark Supreme Court case that found the US Constitution didn’t give citizenship to black people.
“The 1st US immigration law was the Chinese Exclusion Act. It was a race-based policy that was upheld until 1942. The “National Origins Formula” lasted til ‘65.
“But of course, just because a statute is abolished doesn’t mean the unfairness is gone. Remaining are life & death implications of other statutes & *how* laws are enforced.
“That’s a key part of policy in a wide range of issues from schooling to marijuana + yes, immigration too,” she said.

Shifty Schiff May Have A Celebrity Challenger – Fox’s California Doctor Should Make Adam Nervous

I’m sure you haven’t forgotten about Shifty Schiff. Adam Schiff made a mockery of impeachment during the entire inquiry process. He denied basic rules of fairness, while making up a false version of Trump’s phone call with Ukraine. It seems like he did everything in his power to turn impeachment into a circus. But it looks like he’s already in deep trouble. He and the rest of the House Democrats must have forgotten about the upcoming elections. Must be, because why did they ram through such an unpopular, one-sided impeachment? And now, Schiff himself could lose his coveted seat to a man many people know well. From The Hill: The next prescription “Dr. Drew” Pinsky writes might be for his own congressional run in Southern California… “I was watching all the impeachment proceedings and I was going, ‘oh my God, our Congress is tied up and we’re dying out here in California. What are these people doing?’ ” Pinsky, 61, says he soon realized he’s lived for ...

But, despite his record first term, people like Mitt Romney still seem determined to stop him. It seems he’s got a new ally in Paul Ryan, former Speaker of the House turned lobbyist.

Little Adam Schiff Says Trump Could Be Heading To Prison

California  Rep. Adam Schiff  has made it known that he is not going to stop harassing President Donald Trump after he is not president. Some representatives, like Texas Rep. Al Green, want to  impeach  the president, but Rep. Schiff wants him in prison. “I mean, it’s been clear, you know, from Bob Mueller that he felt and the  Justice Department  feels bound by this Office of Legal Counsel opinion that you can’t indict a sitting president,”  he said  on the CBS program “Face The Nation.” “But he is a- essentially unindicted co-conspirator. He’s been identified as an Individual One, as the person who directed Michael Cohen to commit this fraudulent campaign scheme. “And I assume that all this means, in terms of the Southern District of New York, is that the case will be reopened when he leaves office, providing the statute of limitations has not run, and the Justice Department will have to weigh whether to indict the former president. ...
