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

Charlie Manson wanted world peace, so do you agree with Charlie Manson?

Actually he was hoping to start a race war, were he alive today he would most likely be considered for a cabinet position:

CHARLES MANSON IS DEAD: WHAT WAS HIS ‘HELTER SKELTER’ RACE WAR PLAN?
Charles Manson convinced followers to fear an apocalyptic race war called “Helter Skelter”

Illegal Immigration Does Not Increase Violent Crime, 4 Studies Show.

"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.

It is not a coincidence that the black employment rate is the highest ever, that our unemployment rate is low, and that wages are rising.

We don't need to import people that are uneducated and unskilled. We have plenty of our own that need these jobs, and they need them at a livable wage.

Mark

Black employment is not covered there. The subject is immigration.

Yes, the subject is immigration, and how it hurts our black population.

Mark

yes, thats pitting blacks against immigrants.

But as shown:
A 2016 study conducted by scholars at Penn’s Wharton School of Business found that the increase in the labor supply resulting from immigration could actually generate more employment in industries such as home construction and food production. More people means more consumption, and, specifically, more consumption by the working poor.

Yeah, all the formerly middle class will join the working poor when they have to compete with illegal aliens willing to work for third world wages.

ah, i see you know more than the scholars at Penn’s Wharton School of Business.

 

[Unkotare]

Liberal indoctrination in education is having the desired effect. Sadly.

Mark

Don't blame 'education' for every stupid democrat.

Since studies show that our schools are cesspools of liberalism, it would be beyond credible thought that the teachers are not passing that ideology off as "education" to their students.

Mark

I know very very few teachers with the time or inclination for that kind of shit. Any indoctrination comes much more insidiously through societal messages the left has been poisoning the entire civilization with since the end of World War II.

I disagree. ...

You’re wrong.

Look at the list of funders: Steve Balmer, a man whose company benefits enormously from importing Indian software coolies. Then there are various finance Tycoons. They obviously stand to benefit from increased immigration. There's also the NSF, which is infested with leftwing professors.

They wanted a study with a specific conclusion, they put up millions of dollars, and they got what they paid for.

I must have missed that. You simply stated that I was wrong, or you gave me an opinion. You claim that the left has been poisoning our entire civilization since the end of WWII, but it appears that you believe that our schools are exempt from these messages. That is illogical.

Many years. What does that have to do with my statement? Either the leftist indoctrination is as bad as you stated or its not. Why do you think that schools are immune from it?

Here's an interesting article I found today.

Caldara: On January 1, I became a criminal in my hometown of Boulder

From the link:

For publicly stating that I will not comply, my daughter has been targeted at her Boulder school, the one with posters celebrating tolerance and diversity all over the walls. My refusal to submit has been commented on by teachers in front of their classes.

Teachers commenting on his stance at the school? Not a problem, right?

Just because you have experience as a teacher and you use limited examples does not make you an expert on the subject. Is it a fact that many schools celebrate the gay lifestyle? Do they teach the gay lifestyle using books like "my two moms"? If they do, then my observations stand.

Objective reality is what it is.

It's not even about indoctrination. As with all surveys, it's about who you survey and how you phrase the question.

Most of us do, yes, but the political/economic system does not exist to serve the people, it exists to serve the Wall Street/donor/"job creator" class.

Spoken like a bitter, envious loser.

Got to love the stupid and two faced Democrats. They voted to fund a wall years ago. Now suddenly they do an about face and say no.
They talk about the GOP being heartless yet they propose nothing to stop the over 400 deaths of those trying to cross the deserts attempting to get into the U.S.
They have sancutuary cities and states yet have no intrest or intention to save lives of illegals unless they can work for them at substandard wages.
Appears that the only compassion they have is the compassion to save money.

False. There has never been a vote to FUND a border fence or wall. That's the rub. Those slimy assholes in DC voted in 2006 "yeah we need a fence" and never offered any funding specifically for it.

 

[Cecilie1200]

Cortez has her priorities in order: education, infrastructure, healthcare.

It isnt rocket science.

Pity her priorities have nothing to do with her actual job. Or reality. But she's got the primary leftist requirement: she babbles a lot about how much she "cares".

You're a fan of that idjit?

Interesting.

Dont know enough about her yet. But she is interesting, and I like her priorities. In fact I hope we see some stuff along that line from the next Congress. Particularly infrastructure. Surely we can agree on the importance of that?

Well, I appreciate that you're being honest about only requiring someone to say what you want to hear.

There's also a big difference between "agree that infrastructure is important" and agreeing with you on what should be done about it and who should do it.
