Representatives Alexandria Ocasio Cortez (D-NY), Ayanna Pressley (D-MA), Rashida Tlaib (D-MI), and Ilhan Omar (D-MN) have “banded” together to present a “united front” as Congress debates funding President Trump’s extortionate request for a useless border wall. Stating their goal with a simple hashtag — #Not1Dollar — the “progressive” congresswomen have vowed to vote against allocating any more money to the Department of Homeland Security and ICE.
The four representatives sent their colleagues a letter outlining their position and soliciting support from other Democrats on Friday, a letter later posted to Twitter by Congresswoman Tlaib.
This week, @AyannaPressley @IlhanMN @AOC sent a "dear colleague" letter urging support to stop the madness of increasing funding into a broken system that has hurt our families. We need to roll up our sleeves & actually pass comprehensive immigration reform.#not1dollar pic.twitter.com/leSLTv92DH

As long as ICE and DHS fund for-profit private detention centers that put children in cages, we say #Not1Dollar more.

Representative Ocasio-Cortez kept the momentum going with a Superbowl Sunday retweet of Congresswoman Omar’s post:
Last year DHS separated 1000s of children from their parents + put them in cages. Some died. Yet DHS has had 0 accountability or changes.
Why on earth should we give them more cash?
Proud to join @AyannaPressley, @IlhanMN, & @RashidaTlaib as we say #Not1Dollar more to DHS. https://t.co/AWBq0eJrRE

I am pretty sure that Trump will win this battle and he will build the Wall!
He must do this for us the American people, who unlike these weirdos that call themselves progressives we love our country and support or patriotic President!
