[Text Drivers are Killers]

Very few voters want open borders. Talk about stupid.

july 18 2018 GOP legislators wrapped the unpopular “Abolish ICE!” campaign around House Democrats on Wednesday, by forcing a floor vote where 167 Democrats abstained or voted against a resolution praising the Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency.
Democratic leaders protested and denounced the resolution, which was passed by 226 GOP votes. “This is the equivalent of fiddling while Rome is burning … It is a meaningless stunt,” said Democratic Rep. Ralph Nadler. “We have more important things to do.”

Democrats are under growing pressure from their progressive base to block ICE’s popular immigration reforms. But that is electoral poison, so Democratic leaders have been trying to shift attention back to higher priorities issues such as healthcare.

Only 18 Democrats voted for the GOP’s pro-enforcement resolution, while 34 Democrats voted against the resolution and 133 abstained by voting “present” in the hope of minimizing the blowback from ordinary voters or the progressive base.

Damn. Finally the gnadless little twits paid attention to public opinion about a post 9/11 knee jerk reaction department turned police state swat teams.

ICE is an absurdly dangerous domestic army created after 9/11, that we never needed and can never trust.
INS did fine for hundreds of years before ICE, and is all we ever needed.

And while we are at it, we could save a lot of money and improve freedom and security if we got rid of the BATF, DEA, TSA, etc.

Add IRS , ATF, and the EPA to that list. While we're at it let's get out of the U.N.

I did not say that INS was good, but that ICE was way over the top, over armed, unsupervised, not held accountable, without judicial oversight, dangerous, and useless.

You can easily recognize them, they'll be The Brown and Black Party

Can't wait for fake indian to run in 2020. This will be amazing.

I disagree about the UN because the US created the UN single handedly, and the UN always does exactly as we want them to do.
The EPA could be useful if one state was polluting another, such as down stream or down wind.

But yes, we could get rid of the ATF and IRS.
The states should do what the ATF does, and a flat tax would end the need for an IRS.

Any evidence of that?
