According to Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA), immigrants fleeing their home country due to climate change need to stay where they are because the United States has so many natural disasters that it might wind up being more dangerous than the nation they came from.
At a hearing of the House Border Security and Enforcement Subcommittee, Greene was in full dumbass mode as she told Department of Homeland Security official Blas Nuñez-Neto, “Right here, it says that you say the reason why people are coming to America today is because of violence, food insecurity, severe poverty, corruption, climate change, and the COVID-19 pandemic. So we have homelessness here in America. Natural disasters, talk about climate change. This is the fourth largest country in the world. We have an extremely diverse climate. We have a wide range of natural disasters.”
“97 natural disasters occurred in 2021,” Greene added. “I don’t think this is very safe for migrants here in America. We had 97. How many are they having in their country?”
Greene then went on to name the sorts of disasters to be found in the U.S.
“Wildfires, heat waves, droughts, flash floods, winter storms, cold waves, tropical cyclones, and on and on and on.”
“But yet they need to come to our country because of climate change?” she asked. “It’s not a safe country either, by the way. In America, there were 1,313,000 violent crimes in the US, and that was in 2020.”
Well, damn, Marge! If things are so freaking dangerous in the United States, when you are planning to pack up your shit and move? They say Russia is lovely this time of year, provided you don’t dare say something negative about Putin and wind up “jumping” from a 10-story building.
Just when you think Margie can’t possibly get more bigoted or more ignorant, she opens her mouth yet again and proves otherwise.
