ICE Union President: Gang of 8 Has Contempt For Law Law Enforcement

Yesterday during the one and only hearing on the new Gang of 8 illegal immigration overhaul, Immigration and Customs Enforcement Council President Chris Crane once again expressed frustration with how lawmakers have handled developing new legislation without law enforcement input, going so far as saying the Gang of 8 is one of the most hostile groups he's ever tried to work with.

"Law making in our nation has indeed taken a strange twist as Senators invite illegal aliens to testify before Congress and groups representing illegal aliens are brought into the development of our nation's laws, but American citizens working as law enforcement officers within our nation's broken immigration system are purposely excluded from the process and prohibited from providing input," Crane said. "Never before have I seen such contempt for law enforcement officers as what I've seen from the Gang of 8."

Crane also said law enforcement agents including border sheriffs, interior sheriffs, deputies and immigration agents came to Washington D.C. with the hope the Gang of 8 would hear their concerns. They held two meetings on two separate days and according to Crane, not one member of the Gang of 8 bothered to show up. In fact, when Crane asked a question during a Gang of 8 press conference recently, he was escorted out by police.

Crane has said in the past the Gang of 8 plan does nothing to address the criminal alien and cartel element running rampant in the United States as a result of wide open borders and lawlessness. He has also said the Gang of 8 plan falls short when it comes to allowing ICE agents to enforce current immigration laws both on the border and on the interior of the United States.

It's just another part of this debate that gives us this concern that this is all about politics and not about really fixing the problems that we face within our broken immigration system and providing for what is best for everyone is best for America to include and most importantly, public safety."

And Rubio is trying to sell us on the ol' line, 'This time things will be different.' He has clearly been told that this is what he needs to win.

Whoever told him that is an artful liar.

This coming from ICE which isn’t doing all that great a job to begin with, thanks to Napolitano.

Right - these Senators are among the ‘ power elite ‘ and supposedly know everything about everything.
Just ask them yourselves.
They don’t need professional input from those who have a working knowledge of what works , and how it works.
And more importantly, they don’t want to know why it won’t work , or why it can’t be implemented .
The Reason : It all depends on the funding and donations they can get for their next re-election campaign.
The Concept: ‘You gotta pay to play ‘( make a donation , and I will listen to you ).
