Dem civil war: Pelosi BLASTS Ocasio-Cortez, far-Left faction; ‘They’re four people, that’s how many votes they’ve got’

We have wondered how long it would take House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) to tire of the antics routinely expressed by her far-Left ‘Democratic Socialist’ faction, and that question appears to have been answered.

In an interview with The New York Times, Pelosi blasted Reps. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.), Rashida Tlaib (D-Mich.), Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.), and Ayanna Pressley (D., Mass.) for their often outlandish, outrageous behavior and statements in attempts to advance an agenda that is to the Left of the Castro brothers and Venezuela’s President Nicolas Maduro.

Specifically, she noted that the four don’t have much support outside of their social media followers, likely a reference to Congress, where rumors have been surfacing for weeks that senior Democrats schooled in the ways of Washington have become increasingly frustrated with them.

“All these people have their public whatever and their Twitter world,” Pelosi told the Times. “But they didn’t have any following. They’re four people and that’s how many votes they got.”

In particular, the Times was addressing a recently-passed $4.6 billion border assistance package that Ocasio-Cortez and...

ICE Ready To Deport 1 Million Illegals With ‘Final Removal Orders’

“ICE agents are ready to just perform their mission which is to go and find and detain and then deport the approximately one million people who have final removal orders” said Ken Cuccinelli, the acting Director of USCIS on CBS news on Sunday.

“I’m just pointing out that the pool of those with final removal orders is enormous,” Cuccinelli said. “It’s important to note, here we are talking about ICE doing its job as if it’s special. And really this should be going on on a rolling basis for ICE and they’ve been interfered with, effectively, and held up by the politics of Washington to a certain extent.”

A majority of Americans want mass deportations of illegal aliens if Congress fails to reach a deal this week that closes loopholes in the country’s asylum system that allow mass flows of foreign nationals to pour through the U.S.-Mexico border.

The latest Harvard/Harris poll finds that 51 percent of American voters say they support mass deportations of the 11 million to 22 million illegal aliens living in the U.S. should Congress fail to reach a deal that closes loopholes in the asylum system.

More than 8-in-10 Republican voters, as well as more than 5-in-10 swing voters, said President Trump should carry out mass deportations of illegal aliens following Congressional inaction. Nearly 9-in-10 Trump supporters said the same.

Working and middle class Americans, those earning $75,000 a year or less, support mass deportations of illegal aliens if Congress fails to act by a majority of 53 percent. A majority of Americans 35 to 49-years-old also support mass deportations following inaction from Congress.

Democrats and voters who supported failed presidential candidate Hillary Clinton are the least likely of any demographic group to support mass deportations of illegal aliens.

The poll comes as Trump delayed a nationwide plan to mass deport thousands of illegal aliens who have final orders for removal. Former acting Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) Director Thomas Homan accused acting Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Kevin McAleenan of leaking the plans to mass deport illegal aliens in order to halt the operation.

Trump, at the time, said he would give Congress two weeks to strike a deal to close loopholes in the asylum system. The two-week mark comes this week and Congress has yet to announce a plan that would pass both the Democrat-controlled House and the...
