Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) is unsettled by the House Democrats’ decision to hold off pursuing a bill that would have provided members of Congress with a pay raise, tweeting Tuesday a lack of action will result in more corruption in Congress.
<GASP!>
“Nobody wants to vote to give themselves a raise. There’s nothing good about that,” Rep. Katie Hill (D-CA) said, according to Politico.
Rep. Joe Cunningham (D-SC) also opposed the move and told House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer on the floor that it was “bad politics and bad policy.”
Ocasio-Cortez said the pay raise is not a matter of politics, it is a matter of “consistency,” adding that voting against the measure encourages lawmakers to utilize “dark money loopholes.”
“Voting against cost of living increases is 1 reason why dark $ loopholes stay open,” she tweeted.

[quote]There were nearly a half million jobs created in manufacturing from when T-rump took office till the third quarter of 2018. Since then, manufacturing jobs have dropped significantly - since Janaury 1, only 13,000 jobs have been created. [/quote]
So you wanted another half million every year?
Who do you figure we're manufacturing that much to sell to?
[url] https://www.cnsnews.com/news/article/terence-p-jeffrey/manufacturing-jobs-24000-april-304000-trump-took-office[/url]
The last time there were more than 12,655,000 manufacturing jobs in the United States was December 2008, when there were 12,850,000. That was the month before President Barack Obama was inaugurated.
In January 2009, the month Obama entered office, manufacturing jobs declined to 12,561,000—a one-month decline of 289,000.
Manufacturing jobs peaked in the United States in June 1979, when they hit 19,553,000, according to BLS. The most manufacturing jobs in any April, according to BLS, was the 19,450,000 manufacturing jobs the United States maintained in April 1979. The 12,655,000 manufacturing jobs in the United States in April 2018 was 6,898,000 less than the peak manufacturing employment (19,533,000) of June 1979.

The weakness in May may reflect April decreases in both industrial production (0.9 percent) and goods exports (4.2 percent).

July 20, 2015The most recent estimates from the Center for Migration Studies indicate that 1.7 million aliens joined the illegal population from 2009 to 2013 and Pew Research Center estimates indicate 1.5 million — 300,000 to 400,000 a year. The Center for Immigration Studies estimates an additional 790,000 joined the illegal population since 2013 for a total of 2.5 million new illegal immigrants since President Obama took office.
The most recent analyses from the Center for Migration Studies and the Pew Research Center indicate 1.5 to 1.7 million aliens joined the illegal population from 2009 to 2013 — either overstaying a temporary visa or sneaking into the country.
Center for Immigration Studies analysis of Census Bureau data indicates that an additional 790,000 aliens joined the illegal population from the middle of 2013 to May of 2015, for a total of 2.5 million new illegal immigrants since President Obama took office in January of 2009 — 300,000 to 400,000 a year.

If the intrepid journalistic sleuths read the very next sentence,The graphic is based on the 2017 Border Security Report from the Department of Homeland Security. From the actual report, "[i]n FY17, CBP recorded the lowest level of illegal cross-border migration on record," CBP being U.S. Customs and Border Protection.

Compound LIE from you again.
[url]https://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2019/jun/5/the-real-cost-of-illegal-immigration-and-its-not-a/[/url]
According to a recent analysis done by Chris Conover, an American Enterprise Institute adjunct scholar, “all told, Americans cross-subsidize health care for unauthorized immigrants to the tune of $18.5 billion a year.”
Although current federal policy prohibits federal tax funding of health care to unauthorized immigrants through Medicaid or Obamacare, “rough estimates suggest that the nation’s 3.9 million uninsured immigrants who are unauthorized likely receive about $4.6 billion in health services paid for by federal taxes, $2.8 billion in health services financed by state and local taxpayers and another $3 billion bankrolled through ‘cost-shifting,’ i.e. higher payments by insured patients to cover hospital uncompensated care losses, and roughly $1.5 billion in physician charity care,” Mr. Conover wrote in Forbes.
Public education of illegal immigrants’ children is also hemorrhaging the American taxpayer, as under federal law, all students are eligible to receive schooling regardless of their immigration status.
“Public education is where the real big cost comes in,” Randy Capps, the director for research for U.S. programs at the nonpartisan Migration Policy Institute told NBC News this year. “The amount of taxes that the parents pay on their earnings, that they pay through property taxes — passed through on their rent — it’s not going to be as much as is spent on public education for their kids and food stamps for their kids.”
The Federation for American Immigration Reform (FAIR) estimated it cost public schools $59.8 billion to educate the children of illegal immigrants, and almost the entirety of this cost, 98.9 percent, is borne by taxpayers...
[quote]#2 The cost of locking people up & detaining them indefinitely is huge. This does not matter to the GOP cronies who own facilities which house the people rounded up by ICE & DHS & CPB. They have empty beds, they can't bill the government for room & board. Follow the MONEY. Private prisons, private concentration camps COST the taxpayers & the GOP whips up its base so the beds are kept occupied.[/quote]
Sorry bozo, all processing facilities are full.
Now we just truck the illegals off to wherever - like the Ebola Congoans in San Antonio:

Hundreds of illegal aliens from the Democratic Republic of Congo in Africa, which is currently experiencing a massive Ebola virus outbreak, have been dropped off in San Antonio, Texas and hundreds more will arrive in the near future.
A local news reporter looking for French-speaking volunteers to communicate with the individuals made a request on Twitter. “City confirms hundreds of migrants from the Congo have arrived in SA. The city is in desperate need for French-speaking volunteers,” Jaleesa Irizarry of Kens 5 San Antonio wrote on Thursday.

“A group of about 350 migrants from the Congo will be arriving in San Antonio in the near future,” a notice from the San Antonio Department of Human Services reads.
[quote]#1 Illegal immigration *IS* a problem, but the problem isn't coming from the Southern border, it's from people overstaying their visas. Donald & the GOP has you looking THERE for reasons of their own.[/quote]

EL PASO, Texas (CBSDFW.COM/AP) — A group of 1,036 migrants that crossed the border illegally El Paso, Texas, is the largest the Border Patrol has ever encountered, the agency said Thursday.
The crossing was the latest sign that migrants are increasingly coming in large groups. The Border Patrol said it has found 180 groups of more than 100 people since October, compared to 13 in the previous 12-month period and two the year before.

Now STOP LYING!
I agree - they should have thrown an on-air party for her!
YAY!
TrVth!
[quote]"Congress continues to fail us," Pirro continued. "Not only blocking the president's efforts but actually passing a bill this week that would give two and a half million Dreamers amnesty, a signal to illegals that not only will they let you in and pay for food, housing, education, medical and travel, but sooner or later they'll give you amnesty after they release you into the interior proving yet another incentive for illegals to cross."[/quote]

Oh boo freaking hoo - 3 days later...was there an interest rate arbitrage someone missed out on?

Pelosi's Pet Pork Projects
By Ed Lasky
She promised no pork. Of course, that claim has been widely shown to be false. There was, for example, a green project that will benefit Congressman David Obey's son (Obey sits on the Apprropriations Committee). There are virtual earmarks hat smell of pork because the stimulus bill is drafted with such sleight of hand that essentially only one project qualifies (example, a clean coal power plant in Obama's home state of Illinois.
Incidentally, will the Illinois utility company Exelon, that has hired Obama's campaign strategist David Axelrod in the past, benefit?). Then there is a 30 million dollar grant for wetlands preservation in Speaker Pelosi's district -- a cause she has tried to fund for years and that will make a certain type of mouse happy.
[url] https://www.frcblog.com/2009/01/not-quite-a-stimulus-speaker-pelosis-payoffs-and-pork-bill-updated/[/url]
The Congressional Budget Office (CBO) recently found that the cost of the Pelosi-Reid stimulus package now exceeds $1.1 trillion. CBO also estimated that only 7 percent of infrastructure money would make its way into the economy by the end of the year and only 38 percent would be spent by the end of the 2010 fiscal year. Senator Jeff Session's (R-Ala.) office estimates the actual number going to tangible road and bridge construction is just a little more than 3 percent.
Where is this money going to? A not exhaustive look at the 1,588 page legislation, H.R. 1, "The American Recovery & Reinvestment Act of 2009" shows the bill is more payoffs and pork then stimulus.
Echo chamber accordance - yes you do.

So you believe that:
[b]1 Unemployment is low because people are working 80 hours a week
The number of jobs or the amount of hours you work do not affect the unemployment numbers
2 “A 17-year-old can walk into a shop” and purchase an assault weapon
17 year olds cannot buy any kind of gun in America
3 Abolish ICE
Self explanatory
4 Capitalism won’t always exist in the world
She also said capitalism hasn’t always been here.
5 “We’re gonna flip this seat red”
She obviously means turn it blue, but I am sure she and Bernie will turn a lot of seats red.
6 Settlements in Palestine
She claimed that Israel occupies land belonging to the Palestinians and are building settlements there. No Israeli in their right mind would build a house in lands controlled by the terrorists known as Palestinians

[i]“Americans Are Dying From Global Warming”
This has to be her best yet. Global warming alarmists have never been shy about fudging the truth. In reality, any measurable effects of human-induced climate change have so far been good for lifespans.
We’re not going to get into the murkiness of trying to pin climate change on humans, but any average temperature increases in the last half century have correlated with greater longevity in every society, better crop yields and less disease.
Moreover, there are exactly zero cases of any American dying from any cause directly tied to climate change. It’s not possible for her statement to be more incorrect.[/i]
