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.

After Romney Pledges To Vote For Witnesses – His Own State Of Utah Promotes Bill To Recall Their Senator

What are we going to do with Mitt Romney? You probably remember his performance in the 2012 Election. Despite having everything going for him, he could not defeat Barack Obama. Maybe Mitt is steamed that Donald Trump did what he could not: take the White House back for Republicans. Romney refused to back Trump in 2016—leading many to call him a NeverTrumper. But he changed his tune when he ran for a Utah Senate seat. Trump endorsed the man, ensuring his victory. Soon after, Romney flip-flopped again. He even wanted more witnesses in the Senate impeachment trial. Oh, really, Romney? Now, it looks like the people are Utah are hopping mad. From NOQ Report: Mitt Romney is expected to vote for witnesses in the impeachment trial today. He does so against the will of the party and a majority of people in Utah, which he was sent to Washington DC to represent… A new bill being promoted by Utah Representative Steve Quinn, H.B. 217, would establish a mechanism thr...

Joe Biden Just Demanded Jail Time – He Wants To Throw America’s “Anti-Climate” Executives In Prison

Joe Biden thinks every American is in immediate danger. Why? Because he and all the other Democrats think if we don’t do something soon, the earth is doomed. So he wants to tax us into oblivion and tell us what we can and can’t buy. But it gets worse. Way worse. Now, according to Joe, i f you’re not on board, you could end up in  jail . That’s the message Democrat presidential hopeful Biden just sent to America. Here’s Biden talking about the subject at a New Hampshire town hall (via The Daily Caller): Biden goes full-on climate crazy here, in my estimation. First, he says fossil fuel executives should be held liable for what they’ve done in the past. And if they continue to act in this way, Biden makes it plain: And by the way, when they don’t and they’re deliberate, put them in jail. This is what should concern you, my fellow citizens. It should worry anyone in the world who supports freedom of thought. In my opinion, Democrats like Biden...

Opinion: Romney And Ryan May Be Conspiring – 10 More Votes In The Senate Could Get Them A ‘Pence Presidency’

The 2012 duo’s plan is out – they can’t hide it now! Ah, NeverTrumpers. We may never understand how there could be Republicans that are opposed to Donald Trump’s massive success. 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. Don’t forget how these guys just handed Obama a second term in 2012. Well now, there’s a report that is claiming they are trying to get Trump removed for real. From Wayne Dupree: Robinson, who covers D.C. politics for One America News Network says that Romney and Ryan have teamed up to take down President Trump  and they only need about 10 more votes to do it… According to the report, Ryan and Romney are  pushing a “Pence presidency”  as the best reason to dump Trump, and Robinson insists that their efforts are working. According to a reporter from OANN, Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan are...
