Democratic Congressman Joe Crowley, who lost to 28-year-old Democratic Socialist Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez in their June primary, said migrant children being held in custody by the Trump administration should be compensated.
'The damage that has been done to these children will be life long,' he said at a press conference at the Capitol on Wednesday.
'In fact, I suggest they need to be compensated for what this administration did to them.'
**SNIP**
Crowley is on the ballot for the Working Families Party and explained Wednesday the procedure to get his name removed is too complicated.

The local paper Gothamist explains this bizarre situation well:
"Crowley, who represents Queens (and part of the Bronx) and is also the Queens Democratic party boss, spends most of his time in D.C. to the point that his wife and children live in Arlington, Virginia: "The Crowleys live in an expansive home in the leafy Washington suburb of Arlington, Va., where his three kids attend the community's nationally renowned public schools -- shunning New York City's educational system, property records show."
Crowley does have a Queens residence in Woodside, but "neighbors on the block don't know who he is".
A flight to their country of origin should cover it.
I don’t understand why they are not reunited in the country of their origin, ALL OF THEM.
the damage done was done dragging them away from everything they knew, including the other parent and their siblings and other family who they may never see again.
WE’RE NOT REIMBURSING COYOTE FEES disguised as ‘compensation’ which is what the REAL GAME is, so forget it!
A campaign speech?
I think they should get to fly in the front of the plane on the way back to their sh@thole of origin.
Moron
Will probably beat the bigger moron however
Shes REAL stupid. Like special stupid
Somebody should pop Joe in the pie hole.
This ass clown was de feeted by someone even more stoopid than he.
Their compensation should be to put their asses back across that border they illegally crossed!!!
Sure thing. We will give them an all-expenses paid trip to sunny MEXICO!
Thank you for that clever reference to a great song!
Hahahaa...this is AWESOME! Democrats are being FORCED even further to the Left by challengers like Ocasio-CaraCaballo....hahahaha....
Hey Joe, I have no problem with you paying them with your bank account.
Give 'em a bus ride (or chopper them) back to where they came from.
Take the cost out of funds demanded by sanctuary cities.
