ANY DAY NOW: Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez: We’re All Going To Die From Climate Change.
The report seems extreme on its face, and critics were quick to point out that the computer models used to predict the “thousands” of deaths may be outdated, but leftists, including Ocasio-Cortez, soaked up the report without question, inciting mass panic.
“People are going to die if we don’t start addressing climate change ASAP,” Ocasio-Cortez wrote. “It’s not enough to think it’s ‘important.’ We must make it urgent. That’s why we need a Select Committee on a Green New Deal, & why fossil fuel-funded officials shouldn’t be writing climate change policy.”
The U.S. Global Change Research Program makes no recommendations on how to curb “climate change,” but it’s quite clear that Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez believes the only way to make real in-roads on the subject is to enact a massive, socialistic environmentally focused legislative package, using taxation and other “incentives” to help Americans cut down on fossil fuel usage, while pouring millions into “green jobs” and “alternative energy.”
Asking to be considered a refugee & applying for status isn’t a crime.
It wasn’t for Jewish families fleeing Germany.
It wasn’t for targeted families fleeing Rwanda.
It wasn’t for communities fleeing war-torn Syria.
And it isn’t for those fleeing violence in Central America. t.co/qhv7Rr1itn— Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (@Ocasio2018) November 25, 2018
Newly elected congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has back at U.S. immigration authorities over their decision to fire tear gas at Central American migrants on Sunday after hundreds rushed the border.
“Asking to be considered a refugee and applying for status is not a crime,” Ocasio-Cortez tweeted, sharing an image of a Central American family with small children running away from tear gas at the border.
“It wasn’t for Jewish families fleeing Germany. It wasn’t for targeted families fleeing Rwanda. It wasn’t for communities fleeing war-torn Syria. And it isn’t for those fleeing violence in Central America,” the congresswoman-elect wrote of asylum seekers with the migrant caravan.
The proper legal definition of a refugee is:
Refugee status or asylum may be granted to people who have been persecuted or fear they will be persecuted on account of race, religion, nationality, and/or membership in a particular social group or political opinion.

They are NOT refugees – they are ‘fleeing’ poor economics – which does NOT grant them ‘refugee’ status.
Cortez is a f*cking idiot.
