Weird. Seeing what’s going on at the boarder I feel like our immigration departments need as much funding as they can get. Like people are already sleeping out on the streets in parts of Texas and AZ. Does she see that as more of a state issue that they should be paying for? Because I doubt they will.
And these days, as a super fervent supporter of Ukraine, I’m glad we spend a lot on defense.
Ocasio-Cortez said the “dramatic increase” in spending for those two agencies “cut[s] against the promises our party has made to immigrant communities across the country,” adding that it is the case “especially in light of the lack of progress on DACA [Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals], TPS [Temporary Protected Status], and expanding paths to citizenship.” >

I think that this is the key point. I won't begrudge someone playing their little reindeer games when there's nothing on the line. >

She voted "No" because she didn't believe in some of the items. GOP votes "No" because they are anti-American racist fascists who have no interest in helping Biden or this country. >

I have liked her and still do... but that was the stupidest shit she has ever done. 100 percent. >

eh, she also knew that her vote with the rail road workers (the sick leave) would never pass the senate, so..... but hey, no rail road strike right before christmas. >

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (N.Y.) was the only House Democrat to vote against a $1.7 trillion omnibus spending package on Friday, voting “no” on the measure because of increased funding for defense and federal agencies that oversee immigration.
