AOC pushes national rent control, welfare for illegal immigrants

[dukkha]

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., is promoting a new package of left-wing economic policies, including national rent control and expanding welfare to illegal immigrants across the country, as part of a massive new proposal aiming to achieve a “just society.”

The freshman lawmaker, who champions the multi-trillion-dollar Green New Deal proposal to combat economic inequality and climate change, has now proposed a package of bills aimed at solving perceived economic injustice.

“A just society provides a living wage, safe working conditions, and healthcare. A just society acknowledges the value of immigrants to our communities. A just society guarantees safe, comfortable, and affordable housing,” the website for the package says. “By strengthening our social and economic foundations, we are preparing ourselves to embark on the journey to save our planet by rebuilding our economy and cultivate a just society.”

That “Just Society” proposals are made up of six different pieces of legislation that deal with issues including housing, welfare, poverty and human rights.

“The Place to Prosper Act” would prevent year-over-year rent increases of more than three percent. Meanwhile, “The Embrace Act” would allow illegal immigrants to claim the same welfare benefits as U.S. citizens and those immigrants here legally,

“Notwithstanding any other provision of law ... an individual who is an alien (without regard to the immigration status of that alien) may not be denied any Federal public benefit solely on the basis of the individual’s immigration status,” the bill reads.

A federal public benefit is defined as: “any grant, contract, loan, professional license, or commercial license provided by an agency of the United States or by appropriated funds of the United States; and...any retirement, welfare, health, disability, public or assisted housing, postsecondary education, food assistance, unemployment benefit, or any other similar benefit for which payments or assistance are provided to an individual, household, or family eligibility unit by an agency of the United States or by appropriated funds of the United States.”

A similar bill “The Mercy in Re-entry Act” uses similar language to stop the granting of public benefits based on whether a person was convicted of a criminal offense.

She is so nauseating. These flame-throwing emotional misfits. All they do is preach useless over-generalized
global society dreams and schemes. She needs to shut up, go to her office every day, pay attention to her
NY constituents with their needs and day-to-day problems and priorities. But, that would be too much work
for her. It's easier to pose as a grand prophetess of the universe with answers to the entire world when she
doesn't know how fix the issues of her own district...which is all she was hired to do.

It appears the only parties that care what AOC says or does is Trumpkins and FOX, even she said herself, strange so many grown men are so absorbed with a twenty nine year old female freshman Congresswomen. She must be the new Al Sharpton for the right

Oh, my bad, you didn't really think someone was going to exchange on the content of what she said did you?

Until Democrats are asked to take illegal aliens into their states. Then they melt down.

Really, show us where "taking illegal aliens into their states" has anything remotely to do with what AOC said or the right's obsession with her

So what in the hell does AOC's comments have to do with Democrats supposedly caring about "taking illegal aliens into their states?"

The minute they are asked to pay for it, they do not want them. As you remember quite clearly when Trump offered to give illegals to the blue states that supposedly wanted them. Remember the meltdown?
