NYC Protestors Drown Out AOC, Democrats at Press Conference Over Migrant Crisis

NYC Protestors Drown Out AOC, Democrats at Press Conference Over Migrant Crisis

PROTESTER: “CLOSE THE BORDER! CLOSE THE BORDER! CLOSE THE BORDER!”

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and other Democrats tried to have a press conference outside New York City’s Roosevelt Hotel.

The city turned the historic hotel into a migrant shelter. A report showed authorities have arrested at least 41 people at the hotel since May.

I say “tried” because residents are ticked. They gathered outside the hotel and shouted down the Democratic delegation:

UNKNOWN MALE: “Well, thank you. I am happy to be here with Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, and members of our delegation as well as other members from other states that are here to see for themselves what the migration dynamic is in our nation. What we saw were children, families, people that want to work, people that are fleeing violence, people that are fleeing environmental disasters. We see so many stories, heartbreaking stories, manifests itself here. But I think these are folks that will take New York City to a better place. Every crisis presents great opportunity. There’s hope and opportunity in this building. So I wanted to thank all my colleagues for coming. I think this is a contentious issue, but we are all Americans. We all believe in the American dream. That’s the common denominator here, the American dream, we believe in it, we will fight for it. With that –”

PROTESTERS (chant): “Close the border! Close the border! Close the border!”

OCASOP-CORTEZ: “Yeah. And ultimately, I think that there are three points of consensus here that are very important in getting a solution to this issue. The first is that there is — there is consensus here across geography and state on federal resources to cities and municipalities dealing with this issue. The second is to allow the work authorizations so that the folks in here can get to work and start supporting themselves as soon as possible. They are prevented from getting jobs, they are prevented from employment.”

I’m repeating myself, but I get a smile watching Democrats suffering the consequences of their short sightedness

    It’s unlikely that the protest will have any effect on them whatsoever. They have their agenda and that’s all that counts.

      And if violence breaks out, which sure looks probable now, they will declare an emergency and lock down every one and Grisham will help them confiscate weapons.

    You may call this short-sightedness. I call it a part of the plan: to dilute the meaning of Americanism, to snuff out the uniqueness of America. What made America great was that government was prevented, by terms of the Constitution, from doing “things,” leaving the people themselves to sort and solve their own problems and most importantly not stealing the fruits of their labor. Leftist government is the opposite – enlarge government and its costs so that government can “do” more for the people.

    Look at that pathetic clip of Nadler as he babbles on and on about “supplemental budget this and supplemental budge that.”

    Too much government is the problem.

    They will just claim that the crowd was taken over my MAGA so it doesn’t count.

    I do too. However, those people either voted for the Dems that run everything in NY including AOC who was reelected or did not vote which is the same thing. Now they are getting it good and hard.
    Bongino said something to the effect that it won’t change until it gets bad enough and we are not there yet as the polls showing Brandon still tied with all the Repubs indicates.

Well Alexandria, the reason they can’t get jobs is because they are here illegally.

You are in Congress. Stop serving cocktails and start writing a bill that can get “bipartisan” support (you know, that word you like to throw around when you can get one Democrat in Republican clothes to help you pass a bill).

It’s your job along with the 534 idiots in Congress to fix this problem. It’s in your hands.

But you want what most Americans don’t want: “federal resources to cities and municipalities dealing with this issue.”

Most Americans want “close the borders.” We are already dealing with huge unemployment, an economy that is circling the drain, and a massive increase in crime caused by these people.

So, no consensus there.

Bipartisan means all of you must meet in the middle so that the representatives of the people agree on what can be accomplished.

What you want is wishful thinking. Or Marxism.

    Do you seriously think or imagine in your most fevered imagination that Alexandria will ever read your post here or respond to it? The possibility is absolutely 0. I mean zero. So what are you doing in real time and in real life that will make any difference? Any difference at all? Other than posting comments? I suspect that the answer is not one fucking thing.

What are the odds that any of these people will vote for anyone besides the Democrat nominee? Near zero would be my guess.

These Dems just can’t get along with each other even on camera.

She doesn’t realize they are not supporting her. Guess its time she ran back to the border since the CAGES are back.

In an interview after the press conference, AOC was asked, “What’s your opinion on Roe vs. Wade?”

The congresswoman answered, “Well, those are the only two ways that migrants can cross the Rio Grande.”

It’s the battle for free stuff.

Deport, deport, deport. Round ’em up and deport.

While that might sound cruel, compare it to what invaders to a country normally receive: weapons fire

Unknown male in his comments says: Every crisis represents an opportunity. Reminds of “Never let a good crisis go to waste.

Why is it that the vast majority of the downtrodden, endangered migrants are young males?
Sure, they probably represent the greatest threat to the governments they fled. Who and what’s to say that they won’t do the same here?

Those Democratic dingleberries will, of course, be re-elected in a landslide.

Remember back in the mists of time — just a couple years ago— NYC voted to allow noncitizens to vote in local elections.

Bet they’re glad that gambit was tossed out as unconstitutional

“PROTESTERS (chant): “Close the border! Close the border! Close the border!”
Sure.
NOW, huh?

    Please allow me to correct a comment you made a day or two ago. Arizona’s border with Mexico does include a river. The Colorado, as it flows past Yuma on the west, does in fact constitute the US/Mexico border, and was the location of the bridge in question in idiotchild’s link. Don’t let yourself get caught up in her web of fantasy. She’s always wrong.

      Oh yeah!
      There’s a little joggle on the west that looks like the California border but isn’t.
      I checked my maps and everything… but at the south border only.
      Sorry!

Somewhere in hell Alinsky is shaking his head muttering “Seriously? Where did I say my rules only worked for our side?”

A touch of schadenfreude is a fine way to start a weekend.

the Unknown Male is Rep. Espaillat from the DR, “once an illegal immigrant” speaking up in favor of the American dream of the millions of people who are now invading our country. He won’t let this nation “bully” him. So we have an illegal lawmaker pushing for the “rights” of more illegals. The country is gone. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adriano_Espaillat
