Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) just threw a tantrum over key provisions in President Donald Trump's signature legislation. On Thursday, she took to Bluesky to blast the “One, Big, Beautiful Bill Act,” claiming it will supercharge Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) beyond all reason, as Breitbart reports. Her progressive panic misses the mark on a policy aimed at securing the nation.
The House passed the bill 218-214, meeting Trump’s Independence Day deadline. It funnels more funds to ICE than the FBI, U.S. Bureau of Prisons, DEA, and other agencies combined. This move signals a clear priority: border security over bureaucratic bloat.
Only two Republicans, Brian Fitzpatrick of Pennsylvania and Thomas Massie of Kentucky, dared to break ranks and vote against it. Their dissent highlights a rare fracture in GOP unity. Meanwhile, the bill’s passage defied naysayers who called Trump’s timeline unrealistic.
A signing ceremony was set for July 4 to celebrate the bill’s success. Establishment media scoffed at the ambitious nature of the deadline, but Trump delivered. This victory underscores his knack for defying critics with action, not words.
Ocasio-Cortez, never one to stay quiet, posted her outrage on Bluesky at 11:58 a.m. on July 3. She called the bill an “explosion” of ICE funding, warning it dwarfs other agencies’ budgets. Her hyperbole paints a dystopian fantasy, ignoring the need for robust enforcement.
“I don’t think anyone is prepared for what they just did w/ ICE,” she wrote. Her claim that this will make current policies “look like child’s play” reeks of fearmongering. Secure borders aren’t a game -- they’re a necessity.
At 1:00 p.m., she doubled down, grieving the “barbarism” she predicts will follow. “People are going to die,” she lamented, blaming a “corrupt kleptocracy.” Such theatrics dodge the reality of unchecked migration’s costs.
Her second post mourned livelihoods lost and a lack of “guardrails.” Yet, she offers no solutions, just emotional outbursts. The bill, by contrast, tackles a tangible issue with decisive funding.
The House vote was razor-thin, showing the bill’s contentious nature. A 218-214 split reflects deep divisions over immigration policy. Still, the majority backed a stronger ICE to address border challenges.
Funding ICE above other agencies sends a message: border security is paramount. Critics like Ocasio-Cortez see this as overreach, but supporters argue it’s long overdue. The FBI and DEA won’t secure the border -- ICE will.
Trump’s Independence Day goal was more than symbolic. It galvanized the House to act swiftly, proving his influence remains potent. The signing ceremony will likely cement this as a MAGA milestone.
Ocasio-Cortez’s Bluesky rants reveal a progressive obsession with open borders. Her warnings of “disappearing” people lack evidence and fuel paranoia. Policy, not panic, drives the bill’s intent.
The bill’s passage exposes the left’s disconnect from reality. While Ocasio-Cortez grieves a supposed “disaster,” the House prioritized national security. Her tears won’t solve the border crisis.
Fitzpatrick and Massie’s votes against the bill show not all Republicans march in lockstep. Their stance, though, failed to sway the outcome. The majority saw the bill as a necessary step forward.
Ultimately, the “One, Big, Beautiful Bill Act” redefines priorities in Washington. ICE’s boosted budget equips it to tackle illegal immigration head-on. Ocasio-Cortez’s doomsday rhetoric can’t change the fact that America demands secure borders.
