As I like to point out: Whenever Mexican or other countries' territory was incorporated into the US, all persons living on that land were made US citizens automatically. The law said so. When the US annexed New Mexico, all those who had formerly been Mexican citizens in New Mexico immediately also became US citizens.
It is not true that anyone was dispossessed of US citizenship who had been here.
That's why she speaks of "cultures" having been here, not people. Because all the actual people who were in the US at the time of incorporation did become US citizens. She wants to say that anyone who is racially Hispanic, even if they have never had a single point of contact with the US in not only their own history but their entire family's history, is owed US citizenship on purely racial grounds.
This is sometimes (wrongly) called "La Reconquesta." That's wrong, because there's no "Re" here. The people who are attempting the Reconquesta never conquesta'ed the US before, and in fact never lived here nor had any legal claim to live here, before.
You can't re-do something you've never before done.
There is no Right to Return to a place ya never been.
They're arguing for a new right to conquest -- based exclusively on (ta-da!) a claimed right-by-race.
She's not arguing for an individual's right to citizenship -- say, if that individual's family had been unlawfully removed from the US, or if that individual was improperly denied a visa or improperly denied citizenship after completely all legally required steps.
No, she's arguing that some people have a purely Racial Right to US citizenship -- their Race gives them superior rights to all others.
Well then. If AOC wants to promote the idea of US citizenship based purely on racial identity, should we ask other racial interests groups if they would like to make their own proposals for purely race-based citizenship?
Why do only Hispanics get to play this game of La Raza? The media tells me everyday that the US is teeming with White Nationalists who want to form an ethnostate. Why does AOC have a better claim in forming one than they do? Once the principle of Racial Right of Sovereignty is established and accepted, then it's just a matter of arguing about which race gets the spoils.
More from Tiana Lowe here.
Here's my modest proposal: Trump and Congressional Republicans should pass an law that allows -- or even requires -- a state to act as the Laboratory for testing AOC's ideas. I nominate the state of New York, because it's very liberal, claims to be very, very concerned with the environment, and it foisted this borderline-retard on us.
New York, then, will be required to do all the things that AOC demands of it -- we can suspend the ordinary constitutional protections against state coercion for these purposes; I mean, this is such an important cause, should a very old piece of paper written by dead white men stand in the way of progress? -- and we allow (or require) New York to ban cars, airplane travel, and cows (and all other ruminant sources of meat).
Hell, let's just do what she so clearly wants us to do and declare her Political Messiah.
Then we build some big beautiful walls around New York, Snake Plissken style, and we check back in ten f**king years and ask whatever survivors are still remaining what they think of Breakfast Club Evita.
So Much to Cover: I forgot to mention, this retard's "Green Deal" also guarantees "economic security to those unable or unwilling to work..."
Well, combine that with declaring flatly that anyone with a single drop of Hispanic blood has a racial right to citizenship, and... Wow.
There is zero chance a Republican can beat her. Her district would rather elect Mao or Stalin than even a left-leaning Republican.
The only hope is if the Democrats primary her out. Rumor is that there has already been some talk of that. However, how far that will go is a question mark. Already some of the presidential candidates are signing on to a lot of AOC’s stuff.
Occasional-Cortex has finally jumped the shark and become a full blown Luddite.
It must be hell to be both stupid and ugly.
She jumped the shark a looooong time ago.
Normally you would think someone this nuts would get laughed off the stage. But these are strange times. When you look at the election numbers, they are not far off from grabbing on to power.
Florida was 30k votes away from electing Gillum. Georgia was only 50k votes away from electing Abrams. Trump won PA, WI, and MI by less than 100k. The country is a lot closer to socialism than many want to admit.
Not to mention you have a media that is doing everything it possibly can to vilify not only the conservatives but also the center. It turns people like AOC into rockstars and anoints them as the future. Schools are now taught by left-wing socialists. These types of ideas are now becoming the new normal.
Not sure America will survive much longer.
she is used by the dems as a “distraction.”
Of course she is going to ban cell phones first since it is such a waste of fossil fuel charging them.
How much patience is Nancy going to have with this insane chick? More and more people are calling AOC (her name has ELEVEN syllables — really?) “the new leader of the democrat party”. When the SHTF, I’ll be popcorn worthy.
This idiot does not deserve any attention.
You know for her trains
How true...how so very true. The low information voters have been with us for so very long. The welfare recipients that do not want a temporary societal safety net but instead a perpetual hammock. Here's an interview during Obama's first year.
(2009) transcripts of WJR’s Ken Rogulski interviewing some free money lottery participants (emphasis added):ROGULSKI: Why are you here?WOMAN #1: To get some money.
ROGULSKI: What kind of money?
WOMAN #1: Obama money.
ROGULSKI: Where’s it coming from?
WOMAN #1: Obama.
ROGULSKI: And where did Obama get it?
WOMAN #1: I don’t know, his stash. I don’t know. (laughter) I don’t know where he got it from, but he givin’ it to us, to help us.
WOMAN #2: And we love him.
WOMAN #1: We love him. That’s why we voted for him!
WOMEN: (chanting) Obama! Obama! Obama! (laughing)
And the other one:
ROGULSKI: Did you get an application to fill out yet?
WOMAN: I sure did. And I filled it out, and I am waiting to see what the results are going to be.
ROGULSKI: Will you know today how much money you’re getting?
WOMAN: No, I won’t, but I’m waiting for a phone call.
ROGULSKI: Where’s the money coming from?
WOMAN: I believe it’s coming from the City of Detroit or the state.
ROGULSKI: Where did they get it from?
WOMAN: Some funds that was forgiven [sic] by Obama.
ROGULSKI: And where did Obama get the funds?
WOMAN: Obama getting the funds from . . . Ummm, I have no idea, to tell you the truth. He’s the president.
ROGULSKI: In downtown Detroit, Ken Rogulski, WJR News.
THIS is America's number one problem.
What concerns me is that this socialist dingbat barista has a huge following of socialist dingbats who VOTE.
Can you say Civil War!
Not necessary. The most hardcore progressives will be begging for Pinochet shortly after the plan starts.
Yep. And in no way should they be underestimated. Believe it or not, people will turn out in droves to vote for these wackos.
Moo.
Ban cows. Someone photograph her eating a steak.
“AOC has no need to live in a third world shithole to experience anything ... that will never be her life no matter if she wins or loses.”
Yeah well, just for moment, I was able to imagine her living in the toilet of her own Utopian vision.
THE GREENS WANT TO DEATH VALLEY THE ENTIRE CONTINENT. Getting rid of human kind is their objective.
