Survey Shows Most Americans Agree With Ocasio-Cortez, and so do I.

[H B Lowrie]

It appears Congressperson Cortez elect has the well being of society in mind. This is compared to this fake so-called president tRump and his treasonous GOPer cronies having the death of society in their uncivilized and uncultured minds. Yet I believe the truth and decency always supersedes the rot of immoral and degenerate policies of tRump and his menacing mob of nothing but savages. Absolutely $5 billion should be spent on healthcare and education, and to hell with tRump's maniac wall other than putting this felonious tyrant behind walls already built.

Survey Shows Most Americans Agree With Ocasio-Cortez: $5 Billion Should Be Spent on Healthcare or Education, Not Trump's Border Wall

WTF is wrong with you people? You bitch about 5 Billion Dollars for the wall but you don't say a word about the 11 Billion Dollars we just agreed to give Mexico and Central America for no apparent reason,
So just STFU

Oh noes, how did that aid to Mexico & Central America happen under Trump's Watch?

Search term:

pentagon cannot account for $21T at DuckDuckGo


There is why we cannot "afford" to join the 21st century and are stuck in neofeudalism.

The war economy.

"Common dreams"???

"We are in an urgent moment. The time for false solutions is over. The time for half-measures is over. A better world is not possible without our collective efforts."

Hey, which goober at the top of their page is the OP?

Were the american dream not such a sham, common folk could share in that dream.

Common folk don't forcibly take your money and redistribute it to someone else.

Those are called "communist folk."

Hmm, and yet every country I know of at least redistributes small amounts of money.

gosh-----I agree with sobie------of course-----ALL GOVERNMENTS
DO AND HAVE AND ALWAYS will create stuff for the COMMON
GOOD-----that ain't communism-----that is normal human behavior.
Even apes share their food-------try going to a zoo and OBSERVE

Yeah these same people probably agreed with her when she talked about the three branches of Congress as well.

She has you people fearful, I like it.

Fearful of what? She actually talked about there being three branches of Congress. I find her more naive than anything else she is in for a heavy dose reality very soon.

This country already spends more than the majority of countries around the world on each of those things. Liberal answer more money, more government, no solution. I'm curious as to what the demographics of this survey was because the Business Insider is a left biased organization. Also with the monumentally stupid shit that comes out of Cortez's mouth if you agree with her you are a fucking moron. ​

Corporate state bullshit, bipartisan neoliberal economic neo feudalism.

Families of people killed by illegal immigrants visited the U.S.-Mexico border on Dec. 14 to call for stronger border security.

The Angel Families organization held a rally giving parents whose children were murdered a chance to speak in support of building the border wall, KUSI reported.

“We are fighting so that no other American family has to feel the pain and the grief that we do,” said Mary Anne Mendoza, whose son was killed by an illegal alien in 2014.

"while it is right for Americans to be concerned about the equality of the immigrants we attract, there is simply no evidence to support that Mexican immigration should be a cause for concern. If anything, there is quite a bit of evidence that the immigrants we attract from Mexico serve to make us safer than we otherwise would be."

More fun facts:

• 
  
  
  • Fact: immigrants participate in the U.S. labor force at a slightly higher rate than native-born Americans
  • Fact: immigrants are more likely to own businesses than native-born Americans
  • Fact: Immigrants start businesses at higher rates
  • Fact: Immigrant business founders have grown more important to the economy over time

Even the George W. Bush Institute thinks that the benefits of immigration outweigh the costs. Even Bloomberg shows that they pay more into the social safety net than they take out.

And yet for all you guys hand-wave about "well then do it legally!", the Trump administration has reclassified and restricted the legal avenues to do so, including reclassifying domestic and gang threats as not being serious enough to them to warrant asylum. They're even trying to cripple the traditional legal avenues to citizenship:

With last week's vote in the House of Representatives on hardline immigration legislation from GOP Rep. Bob Goodlatte of Virginia, about three-fourths of Republicans in both the House and Senate have voted this year to cut legal immigration by about 40%. That would represent, by far, the largest reduction in legal immigration since Congress voted in 1924 to virtually shut off immigration for the next four decades.

"It tells me that the party is more interested in reducing the number of foreigners in the United States than in reducing illegal immigration," says David Bier, an immigration policy analyst at the libertarian Cato Institute. "One reason to allow people to immigrate legally is to reduce the incentives to come illegally, and so this entire portion of that immigration bill is working at cross-purposes to the goal of securing the border and reducing illegal immigration."

So just to recap, we have people willing to contribute, who have been proven to be a net positive, being increasingly treated in inhumane ways and ignoring constitutional rights - rights that court rulings including those of the Supreme Court have specifically said still apply to non citizens. Meanwhile, the current GOP strategy continues to close even legal avenues to immigration while calling immigrants fleeing violence rapists and drug dealers.

We need to stop pretending this is anything other than a racist and xenophobic backlash against people that aren't white enough for the GOP.

Build the wall.

Build the wall.

"white" has nothing to do with it. The porous southern border has
been a gateway to lots of crime and even invasion by nefarious enemies
originating BEYOND THE NEW WORLD. A wall is, simple, a controlled
border. Nations have been controlling their borders for millennia
