Appearing at Ozy Fest in New York City, Senator Kirsten Gillibrand (D-NY) said that the “first thing” Democrats should do if they regain the House and Senate after the midterms is “get rid of ICE.”

Speaking to Ana Kasparian, a far-left host of The Young Turks, Gillibrand was asked about how they can made sure that Democrats get things done if they regain control of the House and Senate in the midterms. Kasparian also hilariously whined that Republicans are far less likely to compromise with Democrats — ignoring that her party has made it their policy and platform to block anything that President Trump supports.
“When we flip the House and flip the Senate, I think the first thing we should do is deal with the children who are being separated from their families at the border. I think we should get rid of ICE,” Gillibrand asserted.
The New York senator went on to say that immigration is a civil rights issue, but then referred to it as an “economic engine” and said that it should be viewed as such.
“We should separate out the two missions and do the anti-terrorism mission — the national security mission and then on the other side make sure you’re doing, looking at immigration as a humanitarian issue. These are civil issues. These are families. Look at it as the economic engine that it is,” the senator ranted. “Immigration is our strength. Our diversity is what makes our country and our economy so strong.”
The Democratic Party has been consistently pushing an agenda of abolishing ICE, despite the fact that the majority of Americans have no interest in doing so.

She is expecting a Veto Proof Majority?

Yes, I think he thinks he is a preacher and libtard is a religion.
Behold a truly worthless bottom-feeder RAT.
The border areas are patrolled and controlled by the Border Patrol. They are the ones that usually detain border crossers and their children.
ICE operates away from the border into the interior. They enforce our laws unto illegal aliens and their families who have managed to avoid the Border Patrol, are overstaying their visas, or aren’t reporting for their deportation hearings.
It is stuff like this, Misses Gillabrand, that will ensure that the democrats will not take over in November. Threatening to get rid of ICE is not a vote getter.
That is a great idea to run on...also run on jmpeaching Trump, raising taxes, globull warming and $15/hour wage, too. Conservatives will run on Trump’s idea and let me see who has the great idea.
First it was Big Gulps and now they are going after the ICE too?
