My latest in PJ Media:
The noble and patriotic Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-Gaza) has a big new idea: defund not only the police, but Customs and Border Protection (CBP), Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), and the Department of Homeland Security (DHS). Why? Because they engage in terrorism, of course. The Democrat effort to scapegoat and criminalize all opposition to the Leftist agenda in response to their imaginary January 6 “insurrection” is gathering steam, and now Tlaib wants to take it even farther, treating organizations dedicated to defending the United States as if they were enemies of the state. In the Left’s new America, that’s exactly what they are.
An interviewer asked Tlaib what she thought of Biden’s handlers’ proposal to try to bring the border fiasco under control with new technology. Tlaib took the opportunity to advance her modest proposal: “Look, the simple answer to that question is we must eliminate funding for CBP, ICE and their parent organization, DHS. Time after time we have seen it as advocates on the ground, as human services agencies on the ground continue to see over and over again, that these agencies are inept to humanely guiding migrants through our immigration system and instead they further continue to terrorize migrant communities located within our communities.”
Insofar as these agencies “terrorize migrant communities,” Tlaib likely considers them to be among the “white supremacist” domestic terrorists that the Biden administration has vowed to go after. And since they’re engaging in terrorism against “migrant communities,” giving them improved technology is the last thing Biden’s handlers should be considering doing. “This approach,” Tlaib declared, “is something that many, especially the new members of Congress, are coming with full force and pushing back against this idea.”
The very idea of trying to improve border security is (what else?) racist: “They rename this kind of militarization or targeting in a very inhumane way of our immigrant neighbors, but when it comes down to it, it is the same thing — which is targeting communities of color in a way that to me very much violates human rights and dignity for so many of our communities.”
Instead of new technology at the border, Tlaib said we need reform of our immigration laws, which is true, but not in the way she thinks: “This is a distraction to what is really needed, which is full comprehensive immigration reform policies in our country. We are far from even getting to that conversation because people are distracted with these for-profit, corporate greed approaches that are coming to experiment on our immigrants and our border. And I say enough.”
So in Rashida Tlaib’s ideal world, the United States would have new immigration laws that would presumably remove whatever restrictions that still remain on entry into the United States, as well as any remaining penalties on illegal entry. Meanwhile, she would defund the police, the border and immigration enforcement agencies, and the Department of Homeland Security.
There is more. Read the rest here.
Wellington says
Loathsome woman. A first-class parasite too. She has no redeeming virtue. None. There is nothing to admire about her. Absolutely nothing. Though not a ‘big fan” of abortion, I would have definitely made an exception in her case.
Mankind is no way better off by her presence on Earth UNLESS it serves as instruction par excellence respecting how humans should not behave (and think). Sadly, considering the absurd times we live in, probably won’t.
And the fact that she is a regular apologist for Islam is so fitting, so damning, so telling, so very instructive—and all the while she continues to tear down America, the Founding Fathers and America in toto in the “pursuit” of promoting an entire host of horrible ideas, among them the demonization of Israel and the adulation of the worst religion of all time.
Total skank. Indubitably.
PRCS says
“Total skank. Indubitably.”
Perhaps that’s what her ex also concluded.
william says
Wellington
A perfect example of how these people whom the USA welcomed to live in their midst and granted them full rights and benefits as citizens show their gratitude.
gravenimage says
So true, william.
RegT says
The same way the muslims/”palestinians” in Israel repay their hosts for accepting them into their country. It’s one thing to criticize, but those who wish to damage the country should simply go elsewhere.
James Lincoln says
Wellington,
And to think that Rashida Tlaib is actually a member of the US House of Representatives!
Makes me want to puke…
E T says
The skanky, crude wench don’t got no cooth either.
Debi says
?????????????
gravenimage says
Did Rashida Tlaib Just Commit Treason?
……………
She wants Americans left completely unprotected.
Reziac says
She may discover that Americans are quite capable of defending themselves.
eduardo odraude says
Current immigration laws suggest otherwise.
libertyORdeath says
This ungrateful bitch, along with her cohorts, commit treason on an almost daily basis and should be removed from congress and deported immediately. Honestly, they should all be hung or set in front of a firing squad.
PRCS says
She was born in the U.S.
Where do you suggest she be deported to?
Detroit?
gravenimage says
She is not an American in any but the most reductive sense.
PRCS says
But, not deportable.
Unfortunately.
gravenimage says
Didn’t say she was, PRCS.
PRCS says
And I didn’t say she was an American.
gravenimage says
OK
Eleanor says
I will finish this little tete a tete by saying her mommy and daddy should never have been allowed into the USA in the first place. Probably invited in by Republican Gerald Ford some time after 1974. I will add that by letting in a couple from Palestine, who had 14 children, he knew not what he was creating for us in 2021, sadly.
gravenimage says
Muslim immigration has continued under both Repubican and Democratic administrations–Donald Trump was the only president who tried to limit it at all. ANd to be fair, *very* few people recognized Islam as a threat in the west in the 1970s.
libertyORdeath says
She seems to love “Palestine”.
BTW, you can in fact be deported even if you’re a citizen of a country. It’s commonly called exile.
libertyORdeath says
And to add to that, I don’t want to hear someone cry about their constitutional rights while they try to destroy the constitutional rights of others.
davedutchess says
removed and shot!
Jm says
This is a misguided person. She should be denied a platform in Congress and retired to private life. Her attitude is against the good of the American people, and that is her responsibility as a member of Congress.
James Lincoln says
Rep. Rashida Tlaib had to take this oath:
“I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; that I take this obligation freely, without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion; and that I will well and faithfully discharge the duties of the office on which I am about to enter. So help me God.”
Since she took her oath of office on a Koran, she feels that she is not bound by this oath.
But if she is not bound by this oath, then she is not a legitimate member of Congress.

gregbeetham says
This stupid woman doesn’t understand economics, there isn’t any such thing as a free lunch, illegal immigrants have never contributed anything to the economy of the targeted country so why should the taxpayers of that country pay for their upkeep? There is also the security and disease risk, why should the target country take a risk with 100’s of thousands of un-vetted foreigners to flood over the border?
eduardo odraude says
She would need to be convicted in a court of law of the following:
Whoever, owing allegiance to the United States, levies war against them or adheres to their enemies, giving them aid and comfort within the United States or elsewhere, is guilty of treason and shall suffer death, or shall be imprisoned not less than five years and fined under this title but not less than $10,000; and shall be incapable of holding any office under the United States.
18 USC 2382 · 18 U.S. Code Chapter 115
Legally, she is skirting the edges of treason without necessarily crossing the somewhat ambiguous legal line. The value we place on freedom of speech means that speech, to be charged as treasonable, must be unambiguously treasonable in a narrowly defined sense.
gravenimage says
Sadly, I doubt anyone will call her on this–especially under Biden.
OLD GUY says
Tlaib what a waste of good oxygen.
JanD says
Every single day
Every word she says
Every move she makes
Every vow she takes
She is a treacherous, venomous, despicable, hate filled piece of work.
