New York Democratic Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez<\/u><\/a> pushed for spending pork in the House\u2019s omnibus appropriations bill before voting “no” on the package due to its increase in homeland security funding.<\/p>\n

The House passed the massive $1.7 trillion package<\/u><\/a> Friday, with the national debt sitting well above $31 trillion, before leaving Washington for Christmas break.<\/p>\n

Ocasio-Cortez was the lone Democrat<\/a> to vote against the 4,000-page bill, citing her campaign promise to “oppose additional expansion and funding” of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and the Department of Homeland Security (DHS).<\/p>\n

HOUSE QUICKLY APPROVES $1.7T SPENDING BILL, FLEES DC FOR CHRISTMAS BREAK<\/u><\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

“I campaigned on a promise to my constituents to oppose additional expansion and funding for ICE and DHS \u2014 particularly in the absence of long-overdue immigration reform,” Ocasio-Cortez said in a lengthy statement published Friday. “For that reason, as well as the dramatic increase in defense spending which exceeds even President Biden\u2019s request, I voted no on today\u2019s omnibus bill.”<\/p>\n

The New York Democrat claimed that her Bronx and Queens-based district in the Big Apple<\/a> “particularly bears the brunt of an immigration system that criminalizes, detains, separates and traumatizes families.”<\/p>\n

“The dramatic increase in DHS and ICE spending<\/a> \u2014 especially in light of the lack of progress on DACA, TPS and expanding paths to citizenship \u2014 cut against the promises our party has made to immigrant communities across the country.<\/p>\n

“From the beginning of this negotiation, we made clear to Democratic leadership that we must keep the practice of voting on funding bills by agency \u2014 particularly controversial agencies like DHS \u2014 so that Members would not be forced to betray one part of their district in service of expediency.”<\/p>\n

The Democratic congresswoman then touted the spending provisions she added to the bill via earmarks that she ultimately voted against.<\/p>\n

In the bill for the departments of labor, health and human services, education and related agencies, Ocasio-Cortez set aside $500,000 for “new immigrant community empowerment” in Jackson Heights, New York; $3 million for “clean energy workforce development and supportive services;” and $400,000 to progressive immigration nonprofit Make the Road New York, among other spending.<\/p>\n

In the Department of Transportation<\/a> bill, Ocasio-Cortez backed even more spending, including $1 million to Westchester Square Plaza for highway infrastructure, $1 million to the New York City Department of Transportation for “Astoria Boulevard safety improvements,” and $1 million to the New York Botanical Garden for a “worker\u2019s operation center.”<\/p>\n

Ocasio-Cortez also earmarked $2.4 million to the nonprofit Neighborhood Housing Services of Queens for “Casa Neighborhood Housing Services of Queens.”<\/p>\n

The New York Democrat did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital\u2019s request for comment.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
