U.S. Rep. Joe Garcia (D-FL) misstated basic facts while praising communism in an online video conference this week. Garcia, who represents southernmost Florida in the U.S. House of Representatives, told video conference participants, “We’ve proved that communism works. If you give everybody a good government job, there’s no crime.”
Garcia made his comments while discussing immigration, border security agents, and crime rates in El Paso, Texas.
“Let me give you an example, the kind of money we’ve poured in,” said Garcia. “So the most dangerous — sorry, the safest city in America is El Paso, Texas. It happens to be across the border from the most dangerous city in the Americas, which is Juarez. Right?”
“And two of the safest cities in America, two of them are on the border with Mexico,” Garcia continued. “And of course, the reason is we’ve proved that communism works. If you give everybody a good government job, there’s no crime.”
Garcia’s love for communism aside, he is demonstrably wrong on his basic facts.

Let’s put Joe Garcia on the island in “Lost” and bring back Jorge Garcia (the fat guy).
I had no idea consuming earwax could have such a drastic impact on ones IQ.
I doubt it is the result of ignorance. Like most Democrats he lies about basic facts not caring if they are right or not. By the time we refute his lies he is moving on the next lie.
No matter. If he loses his job, his replacement will be of the same like mind.
“If you give everybody a good government job, there’s no crime.”
1. He apparently is not a financial wizard.
2. Does he even know where El Paso is?
Well leftists are skipping Socialism now & going full Communist.
Yeah, Joe, communism really worked well for the 100 million of its own citizens murdered by communist regimes.
In fact, it worked so well they had to build walls to keep their people in, and shot them when they tried to escape from “paradise.”
It worked so well, that with the exception of the mentally unbalanced, communist countries were places to be from, not places to go to.
It worked so well that virtually every communist and former communist country is an ecological cesspool of chemical and/or radioactive pollution.
Come to think of it Joe...
why have you not moved to Cuba, your “worker’s paradise?”
All these mutts that think El Paso is so safe need to walk around the lower areas in his nice Congressthief clothes without any protection and see what happens.
Communism works to lower the population—Millions have died under the red flag. It saps the life out of a people and makes them slaves to the state.
I don’t why he doesn’t just emigrate to Cuba. Apparently, it’s a communist paradise over there.
In real communism, the government forces you to work for whatever they’re willing to pay, which is typically only enough to keep you alive and working.
That wasn’t ear wax.
it was the last few bits of brain matter that leaked out.
i see Joe is in Florida and has not read the news like 0 and Aiken!

Who will pay for those jobs? Other than creating money out of thin air,the government has to have producers who actually earn an income that they can steal money from.
When did everyone ever have a good government job under communism?
So this country is now Communist! Long suspected; now affirmed.
And where is the outrage at this earwax-eating, stupid-beyond-words, traitor?
Spanish word that describes him perfectly: comemieda.
Translation: sh!t eater
He is a first term congresscritter. Maybe his distric (Miami-Dade) has learned its lesson?
