Squad Member Takes 'Defund the Police' to a Terrifying New Level

 PJ Media


"Even as the Joe Biden White House tries to accuse Republicans of “defunding the police,” some Democrats want to slash funding not only for cops on the beat but also for officers at the border — in the middle of a border crisis! Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-Mich.), one of the members of Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s infamous “squad,” called for the effective elimination of Customs and Border Patrol (CBP), Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), and the entire Department of Homeland Security (DHS).

“ 'We must eliminate funding for CPB [sic], ICE, and their parent organization, DHS,” Tlaib said. “Time after time, we have seen it… that these agencies are inept at humanely guiding migrants through our immigration system. Instead, they further continue to terrorize migrant communities located within our communities.”. . . 

"Tlaib further suggested that CBP, ICE, and DHS are “targeting communities of color, in a way that… very much violates human rights,” an echo of the accusation that police forces are infected with “institutional racism.”

"In calling for the “elimination of funding” to not just ICE and CBP but DHS, Tlaib demanded that the federal government effectively dismantle the agency in charge of all federal law enforcement — from border agents to DEA agents who focus on cartels to the officers who protect the federal courthouse in Portland.

"Sen. Tom Cotton (R-Ark.) suggested that Tlaib and her fellow Democrats “want to turn America into a sanctuary country for all illegal aliens from around the world.”

“ 'It would be interesting to me if Rashida Tlaib would explain exactly who she thinks should be excluded from our country when they show up at our border… or who should be deported,” Cotton mused. “Maybe her answer would be conservatives or Republicans or anyone who voted for Trump last year.”. . . 

To find those who hate this nation and her people, look no further than Democrats. We see the hate in their eyes and recognize their anger from the War Between the States and the Ku Klux Klan.
