The Trump administration has been defending ICE relentlessly in the face of leftist attacks. Fox News reports:
The Trump administration has launched launching a full-scale defense of Immigration and Customs Enforcement in the face of growing Democratic calls to “abolish ICE” — a slogan that was once limited to the far-left fringes of the party.
“While I stand before you today at a time when some people are actually calling for the abolition of ICE, in this White House let me be clear — we are with you 100 percent,” Vice President Mike Pence said at ICE headquarters on Friday. “And as the president said last night we will always stand proudly with the brave heroes of ICE and Border Patrol.”
“Under President Donald Trump, we will never abolish ICE. As the president said, we will never fail to applaud and expand and empower this agency with the resources you deserve,” he said.
The searing speech from Pence, which included swipes at Democrats for attacking the agency, came a day after the White House issued a lengthy defense of the agents and the agency itself.
Abolishing ICE is shaping as a leftist platform point – but will it sway independents and centrist Democrats in the upcoming election?
Take the gloves off and allow ICE to do it’s job completely which includes putting those aiding and abetting illegals in prison as they sweep the country clean of illegals.
Bravo, Mr Pence AND President Trump! Thank you to ICE for the great job you are doing protecting America! God be with ALL of you!
Sorry, I was trying to say they should be provided protective shelter while they go through the background check and the legal process of entry.
They are suppose to stay on the other side of the Border until they are approved to come in legally. There are a whole list of people trying to come in the right way. Why should these people come ahead of them.
It was brought up that many of these illegals are running for their lives. Please keep in mind that the majority of the adults with or without children are criminals. The humane thing that Ice should do is keep these people at the border and not let them cross over. They should be provided protective at the border with food and clothing while their background is checked and to see if those who have a clean record could become legal. The main thing is that they must not break the law by coming on our shores illegally, but have a place to wait at and go through the proper channels in order to enter American Soil.
Like an Ellis Island area south of the border.
You MORON! They did NOT follow the American law of asylum seekers. If they had, they would NOT have been separated! Get your shit together and LEARN before you open your damned piehole!
People don’t seem to realize that the vast majority of “illegals” are actually running for their lives in places where you get shot just for being alive. I wonder how many people know that real situations in Mexico, in Costa Rica, in Guatemala, and other places. My church is engaged in a sister-church relationship with a parish in El Salvador. The people in that country are terrified. It is not at all unusual for peoples’ children to disappear. Usually they are found; all of them very dead. We’re so hysterical here about “Mexicans” that we don’t even take the time to find out what’s really going on.
Richard Boyle – if people in El Salvador are running for their lives and make it into Mexico, under International Law, Mexico is required to allow them in as asylum seekers. Therefore, their move north into the USA is NOT a valid argument for those living in countries south of Mexico.
We simply CANNOT continue to allow low-wage workers and their families into the USA just because they want in. A good majority of them end up becoming welfare recipients and then vote Democrat for MORE free stuff.
My father came here from Europe LEGALLY and is now a U.S. citizen. He has NEVER EVER taken a welfare dime from the U.S. Government!!!!!!
I, too, came from Europe and I always managed to find work. I am too proud to go to welfare and didn’t care what kind of job I had to do to earn an honest living.
Yes abolish ICE and replace it with something even more strict!
Regarding the subject of children being “torn” from their parents and which child belongs to which illegal border crosser, I’m going to let you all in on a very well guarded secret. A very large percentage of these kids are rentals. Yes, you read that right folks, RENTALS! They don’t even belong to the “parents” they are with! The border crossers actually rent these children from the kids’ actual parents to better their chances of staying in this country. Want another shocking little dirty fact? The real parents of these kids hope they never see them again! They no longer have to support these illegitimate kids, and the more they have, the more money they make from them. These scumbags south of the border can screw all they want then send their illegitimate kids over the border for US to support. Nice scam, don’t you think?
Not only that some of the kids are rentals that the real parents no longer want but some of them are from government owned orphanages that their own government doesn’t want to pay for caring for them, so they buss them to the border, turn them loose and tell them they’ll be welcomed to America ! ! ! ! ! !
They lacked proper coordination with the with the separation of families. Wresting babies from parents without knowing their names or how many children in one family..
How far apart were they going to be transported.
Lack of child care training
Lack of pediatrics to heal physical and emotion traumas.
Lack of religious clergies to console babies.
Lack of medical petsonnel.
Essentially kidnapping families who followed the American law of asylum seekers. Families are our responsibility since ICE ripped them apart.
Tell me Tony :
1) how do YOU know the kids belong to the adults they’re traveling with?
2) how do YOU know the kids aren’t a cover for drug smugglers?
3) how come American children can be torn away from their criminal parents but NOT OK when ILLEGALS break our border laws?
4) how come Mexico has a southern border wall but like to bash Trump for wanting a southern border wall?
5) what do you think would happen to YOU if you entered Mexico without proper documentation?
LIKE IT OR NOT, WE HAVE LAWS!!! Don’t like them? Demand Congress change them. Until then, Trump is following the laws!!
Nice “talking points”, but somehow some matters seem to be ignored in your blurb. What about children that are put into foster care under state supervision when their parent(s) get sent to jail. Or do you think the taxpayers should open up facilities for children at the state and federal pens? Or are you saying the illegal ( note that word) trespassers should be given a better deal than US citizens who break the law? Can you tell us , based on facts, how many illegal children trespassers crossed the border as carried by smugglers or drug couriers? Pretty neat deal for a Honduran to ship his kid off for us to take care of. Since you recite such blather it seems obvious you have a limited grasp of the history of this over the past decade.
STUPID LIBERAL TONY LIVING IN MOM AND DADS BASEMENT.
We are experiencing an invasion from illegals! Each person (young or old) is taken care of at our expense! “Lack of ….” is a very emotional phrase, but remember, the person who came into our country illegally is knowingly a law breaker…knowingly is the operative word! You head South into Mexico crossing illegally…you are frequently in jail, which down there ain’t so nice!! Without vetting we don’t have control over crime, drugs, assaults; even murder! There are legal ways (I know, which take a long time) to get here. And lastly, a large percentage of the illegals are a “commodity” for smugglers (coyotes). And there are children kidnapped by illegals to make it seem humanitarian to cross the border…even illegally!
My husband and I were in Mexico several years ago at Baja Naval, right next to the military base in Ensenada. They took detainment of a couple hundred Chinese illegal immigrants. They marked every single person with a bright green round marker on their foreheads. They linked them with their hands tied behind their backs and marched them in a line to jails or barracks (not sure which). We saw this. So please stop whining about how these illegals are being treated. I can guarantee these people are being treated with far more respect than they treated that group of Chinese.
a
BUILD THAT WALL! BUILD THAT WALL! BUILD THAT WALL!
Any criminal wants laws to go away and those that enforce them. Let’s start with ICE, then Border Patrol, then police officers. Let mayhem run wild in the streets, let the ILLEGALS kill who they want, no worries, we can reward them with our jobs, our education, our medical care, and our housing.
How about it demonrats, is this really what you want. Then who is going to pay to take care of you?
ICE is part of the nation’s security. Like the police, fire depts, the military. Getting rd of them would make my family and every family, democrat or GOP, less safe. I could never vote for a candidate that ran on a platform that endangers the country But mister sneaky man, Obama, hides in the shadows and gets others to do his dirty work. Like put his idea of getting rid of ICE out in public with out taking credit for it.
I think we should move 2 MS13 sub humans in with every politician calling for abolition of ICE not to mention the rest of the f-ing morons making the same request. And of course arm MS13! As a last move take away all outside contact for a month!!!
ROFLMAO
You really don’t want to know what I really think should be done with these treasonous bastards…..I can’t wait to piss on their graves
ALL criminals would like to ABOLISH ALL laws !!!!!!!!
ALL criminals would like to abolish ALL LAW ENFORCEMENTS !!!!!!!
Unleash the ICE agents and let them do what they were hired to do, round up,
arrest and detain the Criminal Invaders and all those who attempt to assist them
or stop the enforcement of our Immigration laws, rules and regulations. Anyone
who attempts to block, stop or hinder ICE agents should also be arrested and
brought up on charges for such action. Whether it be a Governor, Mayor,
council member, law enforcement, are a political appointee or elected official.
If they are lawful and legally in our Nation as guest, visitors are Immigrants who
have gone thru the process to come here then welcome them and let them go on
their way to enjoy the benefits of the United States of America.
That is just about as smart as walking into the middle of the free way and say they want hit me. Watch Red Dawn and see where the enemy came in the United States from. Now! Where is the drugs coming in from, MS-13, Child traffickers. Wake up and smell the coffee.
what did you mean? can’t get your thought? who in the freeway? bill
