Are we going to have immigration limits or not?
That's the question underlying the calls for the abolition of Immigration and Customs and Enforcement (ICE), the bureau within the Department of Homeland Security responsible for upholding our immigration rules away from the borders.
The push to #AbolishICE is threatening to become a litmus test for Democratic politicians. It has been embraced by presidential hopefuls like Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand (D-N.Y.) and Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.), as well as other far-left figures such as New York Mayor Bill de Blasio, actress-turned-New York gubernatorial candidate Cynthia Nixon, and a number of House members.
Despite the efforts of some senior Democrats to try to tamp down the anti-borders fervor of their base for fear of political backlash, the energy in the Democratic party is clearly on the far left. In the words of activist Sean McElwee, a co-founder of AbolishICE.org:
"I believe that every Democrat running in the 2020 Presidential Election will have to articulate a vision of a world without ICE."
The most charitable interpretation of the #AbolishICE craze is that it's the left's version of the silly call by some on the right to abolish the IRS. If taxes are still going to be collected, and immigration laws enforced, then changing the initials of the agency doing the work is nothing but a political stunt.
Even if it were simply a political stunt, the push to #AbolishICE would tell us something significant. Republicans who call for dissolving the IRS do so as a way of signaling the depth of their opposition to taxes. Likewise, #AbolishICE is a Democratic candidate's way of communicating to voters that he dislikes immigration limits and the enforcement required to make them meaningful.

Headline: “When Democrats cry ‘Abolish ICE,’ they really mean ‘abolish borders’”
Absolutely. It’s the path to other goals of the left.
The good thing about being a nation without borders means that we would no longer be a country. There would be no need for a Federal government, a House of Representatives, a Senate or any Federal Courts. No taxes could be collected because people would be coming and going and claiming no citizenship ANYWHERE. There would be no such thing as U.S. citizens and therefore, no such thing as U.S. taxpayers. That’s pretty tempting.
They want a World Government run by the UN and they think the UN will give them the US ,LOL
Yes, the response to calls for abolishing ICE should be to put all Dems on the spot with respect to how immigration law would be otherwise enforced. If they say that it shouldn’t be, then we’ve won that discussion.
The Democrats have devolved into the Party of globalism, no borders, socialism and the end of American sovereignty and culture. They can deny it but they will be judged by their actions. They oppose border enforcement, oppose the construction of an effective wall. wish to terminate ICE and establish “sanctuary” cities and states wherever they hold power. The American people are coming to realize that a vote for a Democrat anywhere is a vote for open borders, globalism and socialism.
Will the Democrats tell the country how great life will be with no borders ?
Yep.
Absolutely right. The left wants no borders, so parasites can come in and take what the producers have made.
“When Democrats cry ‘Abolish ICE,’ they really mean ‘abolish borders’”
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
What they really mean is abolish the USA.
Yeah. That is kind obvious.
And when you abolish borders, you abolish the country.
It would be the death of what is left of the republic, American culture and society, and signal a descent into anarchy and chaos.
We can show them pictures and video of border town on the Mexican side of the border.
The comments on articles such as these are enlightening. Democrats actually believe President Trump is leading a white supremacy movement.
Will the Democrats tell the country how great life will be with no borders ?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Will Graham, Flake, McCain, Rubio, Hatch, Heller, Corker, Alexander, Heller, Hoeven, Murkowsky?
They all voted to “Comprehensively Screw Americans Out Of Their Country” in 2013.
Our mantra should be...
“America is being INVADED by ILLEGAL aliens.”
Another one: “common sense gun control” means total gun confiscation to the libs.
Yup. That’s what the snowflakes want. Bring back Neanderthalism and call it “progress”.
