Abolishing ICE To Become 2020 Campaign Issue For Democrats
dailycaller.com ^ | 03/09/2018

Once a fringe idea on the far-left, abolishing the nation’s immigration enforcement agency now looks likely to become a campaign issue in the Democrats’ 2020 presidential primary.

Former Hillary Clinton campaign spokesman Brian Fallon came out for abolishing the agency in January. “ICE operates as an unaccountable deportation force,” Fallon argued. “Dems running in 2020 should campaign on ending the agency in its current form.”

“Any serious defender of undocumented people in this country would look at ICE and know that it is a cancer that needs to be excised from the U.S. Pretending that the most diseased levers of state power can be molded into something better is a useless fantasy. ICE must be abolished. Anything less is not good enough,” Mirkinson wrote on Splinter, a left-wing website.

Left-wing publication The Nation on Friday pushed out a similar piece, entitled “It’s Time to Abolish ICE.”

I thought “Illegals First” was already their theme.

Good a losing tactic....the recent percentage of Americans who favor the wall and stricter border watch has grown to over 70%....that and raising taxes will ensure a defeat

Across party lines there’s tremendous dislike for illegals, except for the core Bernie types on the left.

Go ahead. Put that issue up against Trump’s tax cuts. Great idea.

Aren't the leftards insisting that anyone who criticizes the FBI or the cowards from Broward is committing treason.

By their own logic, calls for shuttering ICE are treason.

And also by actual logic, since this renders our borders unsafe.

I want them to run on a Hate America platform.

They don’t seem to like Americans.

Let them show the country how much they love illegal aliens... oops, undocumented citizens.

Identity politics at its rawest.

The attempt at a political ‘coup’ marches on.

Not hardly, there are plenty of lying weasels wearing R jerseys who want amnesty for illegal aliens.

Flake, Corker, Hatch, Heller, Alexander, Graham, McCain, Murkowsky, Hoeven, Rubio, Tillis, Burr, Lankford, Gardner, Cornyn, Cochran, Collins, Sasse, Kennedy, Shelby, Ernst, Blunt, McConnell, Wicker, Portman, Isakson, Johnson, Toomey, Rounds, Thune, Gaines, Barasso and Enzi are all Bush League Republicans.

Bring it on you liberal $cumbags.

That will be like letting Crumbs Pelosi talking about how bad President Trump’s new tax plan is.

They will kill most votes from the great undeclared voters.

"Any serious defender of undocumented people in this country ..."

I think I see the problem, right there.

Making America a clone of the EU is the DNC goal. Migrants raping, pillaging, and assaulting citizens is commonplace in Europe. Citizens who dare to complain about migrants are punished. Democrats have already made it clear illegal aliens are their #1 priority. This is an all-out assault upon America and Americans.

Lets see..Abolishing immigration enforcement, empty the prisons, confiscate firearms from Americans, bring in more H1b and open borders to anyone.
The ONLY ones who couldn’t beat a Democrat running on that ticket is Ryan, Romney, any Bush Family and any most US Senators.

Trump would stomp them into the ground.

It’s sad that the Democrat party is dependent on non-citizens for survival.

Enemy in the open. We used to call something like this a “fire mission.” Perhaps we will again.....

Love it!
Great platform! Raise our taxes back to pre-Trump and beyond.. Bring back the foreign workers to take our jobs and make our votes insignificant.. Shut down America’s energy businesses again..
It would make for a magnificent 2020 election if it weren’t for the large number of RINOs that want desperately to adopt the same platform....
