White House says ICE will reduce deportations, detention capacity if Republicans don't pass border bill
Fox News via Yahoo ^ | February 7th, 2024 | Chris Pandolfo

The White House on Thursday announced that U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement will soon be "forced" to reduce operations at the southern border due to lack of funds.

Press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre told reporters that because Republicans have not passed the bipartisan border security agreement with funding for Israel and Ukraine, the administration is left with no choice but to pull back from the border.

"Because congressional Republicans are choosing partisan politics over our national security and refusing to pass the bipartisan national security agreement that includes significant border reforms and funding, over the coming weeks, ICE will be forced to reduce operations because of budget shortfalls," Jean-Pierre said during a gaggle on Air Force One.

"We have asked Congress for additional funding and resources, and every time Congress has provided less than we asked for, or most recently, completely ignored our supplemental request," she said.

Considering what is already going on, taking this action wouldn’t have much of an impact. And it might encourage more states to take their own action.

One thing people should understand about the disgraceful details of this bill.

The 5000 per day DOES NOT INCLUDE ANYONE OTHER THAN CANADIANS OR MEXICANS !

Anyone from anywhere else is NOT counted in the 5000 total. This is from Rep Dan Bishop where he references the text of the bill.

Call their bluff, put up a bill to fund everything needed for mass deportations.

How can you reduce deportations if you haven’t done any to start with?

Their threat reminds me of a little toddler who doesn’t get their way. “Gonna take my ball and go home!” We have mental infants in charge of our government now, G-d help us. I hope there is some way we can prosecute them into the next world.

Cal spends 30 bill per year on illegals.

This year we added free medical care for all illegals estimated at 3 billion+

Biden is not only a plagiarist, he’s an extortionist.

They have always been blackmailers.

Democrats, even though outnumbered by slaves on their plantations, were almost 100% successful at keeping their slaves in line by just occasionally cracking a whip. They haven’t lost that skill.

Does Biden have the capacity to make decisions? Is it Obama taking control and letting Joe take the blame?
What if the gop opted to have that kind of arrangement?

I would venture that it's far more than that, when you include illegals that have been here, for years.

Welfare, legal help, criminal prosecution and incarceration, losses to victims and insurance, education, with tutors, translators, unpaid hospital bills....the list goes on.
