Former GOP Champion Bill Kristol: ‘Abolish ICE Now’
Breitbart ^ | 14 Jul 2026 | Neil Munro

Posted on 07/14/2026 7:55:35 PM PDT by Olog-hai

William Kristol, the NeverTrump icon and supporter of President George Bush, wants to destroy the Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency that protects Americans from nation-changing, wage-slashing mass migration.

“Abolish ICE. Now,” Kristol posted on Monday, prompting a vigorous response from ordinary Americans […]

On Tuesday, Kristol celebrated the news that the Department of Homeland Security has temporarily halted the detention of migrants in vehicle stops, following the second fatal shooting of an illegal migrant driver:

If ICE is telling the truth here, the lesson should be not be to declare victory (ok, take one minute to enjoy the victory), but to redouble pressure on the whole indecent mass deportation regime …

I suggested this earlier this year:

The Secretary of the Treasury shall set up an ICE Bank System and take reasonable steps to ensure its successful operation, which may include requiring a fee to open an account and periodic account servicing fees.

All persons and entities who engage in any type of physical real property activity must use an ICE Bank System account of theirs to obtain payment:
1. after March 31, 2026, for such activity in Florida counties on the Gulf of Mexico having at least 50,000 people according to the US census,
2. after April 30, 2026, for such activity in the District of Columbia and Florida counties on the Atlantic Ocean,
3. after May 31, 2026, for such activity in Dallas County, Texas, Tarrant County, Texas and Harris County, Texas and adjacent counties,
4. after June 30, 2026, for such activity in Fulton County, Georgia and adjacent counties,
5. after July 31, 2026, for such activity in Bexar County, Texas, Travis County, Texas and adjacent counties,
6. after August 30, 2026, for such activity in Fairfax County, Virginia, Henrico County, Virginia and adjacent counties,
7. after September 31, 2026, for such activity in all other political subdivisions in which the ICE Bank System has set up a branch at least two whole months previously.

Failure to do so shall be considered a felony and void the right to receive or retain payment or corresponding amounts and all such payments and amounts shall be subject to confiscation as the Secretary of Homeland Security may specify or direct.

Such physical real property activity shall be deemed to include building facility cleaning under contract and all building construction, building repair, building painting, septic system work, building site preparation, irrigation work, paving, landscaping, landscape maintenance, fencing and mowing.

Employees who do such work as a minor part of their workplace efforts such a waiter or retail store employee cleaning up, a cowboy mending a cattle fence shall be exempt for their work as such an employee.

Agricultural employees shall be exempt, except in the named counties, with respect to their agricultural work on properties of a type typically eligible for an agricultural property tax exemption in many states.

The identity of each customer and person to have account access shall be verified using a domestic government photo ID of theirs before an account may be opened for them. Copies shall be made and kept by the Bank in both paper and in computer form immediately linked to the account.

ICE Bank customer photo ID meeting all specifications the Secretary of Homeland Security shall set including having a bank branch identifier of at least three letters and a unique public access account holder identifier having at least three letters and three numbers shall be provided by the Bank after verification of entitlement of the account holder to work in the United States by the Bank and the tender of a photo matching the customer by the customer to the Bank wherein the head of the person is at least two inches in height and fully meets any additional specifications the Secretary of Homeland Security may set from time to time and not otherwise.

Each image of the photo IDs shall be placed online and be viewable on an ICE Bank website by entering the matching unique public access account holder identifier.

Persons who are not exempt shall not perform or get income from covered work unless they have received and posted a copy of their ICE Bank customer photo ID in place legible to all persons on the work site (and to passersby if possible) at all times in which covered work is being performed.

Such posting shall be done by placing their ICE Bank customer photo ID just behind a windshield of vehicle parked in nearby publicly accessible place if possible, a facsimile of the ID posted on a sign in a nearby publicly accessible place if that is not practical.

The Secretary of Homeland Security may impose reverification requirements, by regulation, account, account holder or ICE Bank worker.

Violators shall be subject to a fine reflecting the lack of compliance and a term of imprisonment of 12 months for willful violation, or any lesser term the Secretary of Homeland Security may specify.

Any person who conspires to subvert this law may be fined up to three times the apparent extent of the conspiracy.

Any law passed by any other domestic government or any judicial decision issued by any domestic government with the likelihood of intent to thwart this law shall be void to the extent the Secretary of Homeland Security may specify.

The Secretary of Homeland Security shall have the power to void liens the ICE reasonably deems contrary to the underlying intent of this law. Subversive failure to cooperate shall permanently nullify any right of the violator to receive work-related government funding.

This isn't a recent about-face for Kristol. He's been pushing a liberal immigration agenda his entire career while masquerading as some sort of spokesman for "conservatism." I remember an interview where he basically said that America needs to import more Third World immigrants because Americans are too lazy and stupid - in other words, the same view of things as the liberal establishment he pretended to oppose.

Kristol and his ilk did more to subvert and destroy genuine conservatism than any liberal could ever dream of.

Bill Krystol hasn’t been a “GOP Champion” for like 20 years at least. Who cares what he thinks?

Ask him if we should divert refugees to Israel instead and let’s see his response.

According to Kristol and other neocons, ethno-nationalism is evil perpetrated by "racists" and "xenophobes" and needs to be opposed - with the exception of Israeli ethno-nationalism, of course.

Where’s the Republican Party I once knew, the party of great minds and great men — ... of Dennis Hastert

Dennis Hastert was a "great man" only in the pantheon of pederasts. But then, Bill Kristol always struck me as being a bit light in the loafers himself.

This guy is with “The Bulwark” - so-called Republicans who claim they long for the days of Reagan - who hold leftist positions on literally *every* issue - both economic and social. Their views are not consistent across the board with any brand of Republican politics ever - not Reagan, not either Bush, not Trump, not even Rockefeller Republicans...yet they still claim they are the true Reagan Republicans - but want Republicans of all stripes to lose every election nationwide.

What amazes me is the fact that it took Kristol formally leaving the Republican Party for people to finally realize he was peddling poison, despite the fact that he’s more or less vomiting up the same talking points now as he was from day one.

“William Kristol, the NeverTrump icon and supporter of President George Bush”

Someone needs to ask W Bush why HE didn’t secure our borders? Why didn’t he stop all the drug trafficing and crime? Why George? When 9-11 happened you said the people who did that will be held accountable and instead you did nothing of the kind.

George W. Bush, the anti-MAGA president. He needs to be asked some questions about his non actions. Ask him what he loves so much about the Clintons for starters.

Presumably W. shares his brother's belief that illegal immigration is an "act of love", and furthermore, many of his core constituents lobbied hard for cheap labor.

I remember when this clown denounced Pat Buchanan in particularly harsh terms. Never read anything of his since

Yet another example of Kristol's talking points being identical to those of the Left.
