The House of Representatives had a vote on ICE in a bid to put Democrats on the record. The Daily Caller reports:
House lawmakers voted for a resolution Wednesday that supports Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officials and explicitly condemns Democrats’ calls to abolish the agency.
Members voted 244-35-133 Wednesday afternoon in favor of a resolution GOP Rep. Clay Higgins of Louisiana sponsored that both decries Democrats’ push to do away with ICE and calls for congressional support for the agency and its officials. Republicans brought the measure to the floor under an expedited procedure, known as suspension of the rules, which allowed the chamber to pass it with a two-third majority.
The majority of House Democrats — 133 — voted “present,” with the remainder split. Eighteen Democrats voted in favor the bill and 35 voted against it. One Republican, Rep. Justin Amash of Michigan, voted with Democrats against the bill.
Democrats voted “present” in protest of what they deemed a political stunt on the part of Republicans, who they claim have spent months failing to address the nation’s immigration problems, like the separation of children from their parents that immigrated to the U.S. illegally.
Democrats realized that actual opposition to ICE would kill them in the polls for the midterms, and they backed down.
Well the Republicans baited the Communist Party into taking a vote on Ice and lost, they didn’t vote and the many did to abolish Ice. Let one and all remember this in 2018 and more important in 2020.
The Communist Party is so outspoken everyone now can agree they are enemy number one. Chavez, Castro. Putin, good examples for them to follow.
Americans that don’t believe it can happen have their heads in the sand.
It is OK to be wrong, but it is not OK to stay wrong. Following these leaders to the Cliff to get free stuff or not have to work hard will encourage you to jump, brighter people will push the leaders over as they never intended to make the jump, just you. Think about it. In Communism the leaders are always rich and the people poor. I Capitalism there are Super Rich, Rich, almost Rich, moderately Rich, going to be Rich and non motivated or disabled people that need help. You are in control and you have a choice.
So VERY WELL stated! I agree! The problem with America is now the Democrat, or as I call them, the “commie-crat” party! Ugh! Thank you!
Democrats are actually “One Worlders”. Look up the U.N. Agenda 21.
Which communist want to have open borders to destroy our country !
They don’t want boarder security or immigration control and enforcement! They don’t care about the safety of American citizens. They don’t care about the rule of law. They get indignant about the possibility of a foreign nation attempting to influence our elections but want to give citizens of foreign nations the right to vote in our elections?
Thats just how the Democrats operate. I think it is a shame that when Bernie Madoff was convicted of fraud he gets a 150 year prison sentence. Now I don’t condone what he did but when Barry Obama commits fraud on the America people, ( e,g; you can keep your doctor, you can keep your health care program, just to name a couple examples) nothing is said or done. Obama should committed a far bigger fraud then Madoff, but oh that’s ok, he’s the president. The democrats destroyed a health care system that was working. That being said, I must add it wasn’t only them as we hava plenty of RINO’s that were and are part of the problem
If that had been Nobama’s greatest fraud, that would have been relatively MINOR compared to the fraud that he actually perpetrated against the American people, which is to actually USURP the White House for 8 years of hell illegally, as he is NOT a US Citizen and even is he was, he was NOT Constitutionally eligible as the Constitution clearly states that the candidate, as well as BOTH parents MUST have been born in the USA for eligibility. Granted, we really don’t know WHO Obama really is as his records are sealed. He was “running” on the promise of total transparency, and then has his entire life SEALED? Did anyone wonder WHY? One does not seal one’s life records because there are raving qualifications therein. I keep harping on this issue and the issue of DEMANDING that his records be UNSEALED so that the American people will know WHO this man is. We only know WHO he tells us he is. we also know that the man who supposedly was his biological father already had a wife and family in Kenya; It is believed that Stanley Anne’s parents PAID him to stand in; there is only one picture of him and Obama together and that was when Obama was about what 10? He also used a number of false SS numbers, the main one was issued in Connecticut to a man born in the late 1800’s, which is believed to have been made possibel for him by stanley Anne’s mother, who worked for SS in a department where she had access to all of those files. Not only that, when his mother married Lolo Soetoro, a Muslim from Indonesia and she and Barry moved there, it was necessary for Soetoro to formally adopt him and declare him an Indonesian citizen as foreigners were not allowed to attend school in Indonesia. If he EVER was a US citizen, he never reclaimed his US citizenship; He received financial aid as a “foreign student” to attend University. There is no possible way that this man is or ever was eligible for the presidency, yet the democrats handed him the RED BUTTON and the keys to the country not once but twice. He made his intentions to “transform” America very clear from the beginning and he received a standing ovation for that. “People, we live in the greatest country in the history of the world, and I hope that you will join me as we try to change it.” and the sheep stood up in unison and cheered him. Tell me, HOW do you change something that is already the “greatest.” He committed high crimes and Misdemeanors as well as treason against this country over and over, and was never called for it. I could go on and on, but the picture is clear. He is America’s GREATEST ENEMY and is still intent on toppling this country. It is widely believed that his biological father is Frank Marshall Davis, the card carrying communist who was ousted from the USA in the mid fifties and landed in Hawaii when it was still a territory; he was a porno king and Obama’s mother posed in the nude for him around the time that she supposedly became pregnant with little Barry. There are a lot of videos about Barry Soetoro as he was known in Indonesia and after he left Indonesia. It is believed that he never legally changed his name back from Soetoro to Obama.
I’m glad to have this information but I don’t think it was necessary. The democrats have already shot themselves in the foot and their only hope was the midterm elections which they have destroyed. They have NO ONE for 2020 who could defeat the president (thank goodness) and with their loss of the midterm they won’t be able to block the continued MAGA.
I WANT TO SEE THE NAMES & THE STATES THEY REPRESENT OF THE DEMOCRATS WHO VOTED AGAINST THIS BILL! SHAME ON THEM. IF THEY CAME FROM NY, I’LL BE REMINDING OUR VOTERS OF THE TRAITORS WHO WANT TO LET ILLEGALS CROSS OUR BORDERS.
Me too! Give me the names!

if our poltitions can’t vote on securing our bourders and help sopport our
president. The American people can now see the bottom feeders are
The lunacy of the democrats is really mind boggling. The idiots that vote for them are beyond help!.
Just Amash is a Subposed Republican from Michigan that voted to do away with ICE and he totally objected to President Trumps Travel ban ! If you Google Justin Amash, you will find that he is a Palestinian and Arab Muslim ! There you have it ! That is why he wants to do away with ICE and doesn’t want Muslims banned from the United States ! Why are these Muslims even working in our government from Homeland Security to Mayors and Congressman ! They hate the United States !
Couldn’t have said it better myself! We The American People better get together & DEFEND OUR COUNTRY FROM INVADERS WHICH A ACT OF WAR! Now it’s up to We The American People to get really involved with
The INVADERS & put a STOP TO THIS WAR ON THE AMERICAN PEOPLE! FUCKING DEMOCRATS HAVE SHOWN AMERICA AS A WHOLE WHO THEY STAND UP FOR THE FUCKING ENEMY’S OF AMERICA! THEY SHOULD BE TREATED LIKE A TRAITOR, A TREASONOUS NO GOOD HATERS OF AMERICA!
It’s not surprising. Did you ever notice how many of “them” lived in MI.
because people don’t check out whom they are voting for at election time.
you nailed it that is something I have been saying for years as long as we allow these foreigners from anywhere no matter where that are not United states citizens get elected to our state, county municipal and federal positions of government we are screwing ourselves from the south the border to the outer limits of this planet we will eventually have enuf people running our government that hate us and are here determined to destroy us these FN politicians currently making decisions appear to be absolutely mentally Ill we had better take our heads out of the sand and stand up to these silly destructive Liberals before the illegals start deporting us. Our country leaders have given away this country to the illegal criminals and the looney left.
The Liberal Democrats NEVER stand their ground. They make promises on the campaign trail, and when they get elected they never keep those promises. They make a stand to abolish ICE and yet when the opportunity comes for them to show support or opposition, what do the majority do? Straddle the fence! Which is exactly what they do when they have a chance to support their constituents, they don’t! They simply straddle the fence. Most of them must be tired of that position. We should let them rest and make sure we vote for their opponents in November! That way they can go home and relax!
these dem worms brought the bill up and when asked to vote on there own bill they backed away with political stunts and then they have the balls to call it a republican political stunt. hey, you A hole dems its you Marxist commies that brought the bill up and demanded ice be shut down. this is another a nail in your dead coffin. this November and 2020 will be your blue piss puddle to no where and if you believe Americans have short memories which they normally do, but not this time they are no longer sleeping and watching how you dems along with your media whores have scammed and broke all sorts of federal laws to destroy our fine President. just watch what happens to you dem vermin , you will on the dust bin of history for the next 50 years.
put the trash on there door step and see how fast they cry.
So they voted “present.”
Cowards.
Justin Amish, R???-MI, again demonstrates who the WORST of the WORST of the RINOs in Congress are!
Amash is a Libertarian I’m guessing he figures the Border Patrol can do that job,(He[s a smaller Govt Guy..)
Talking vs Actions
Mellissa Francis one of the host on Fox News Channel said ‘all the Democrats are doing is Talking but President Trump put his promises to the people that elected him into action! It is Talking vs Actions!
Watch the endless moaning and complaining of Schumer, Warner Pelosi – the whole Shebang. I don’t want Trump to have an one on one with Putin. He is too harsh on NATO! He is going to hurt us! He is going to cause WWIII! We WANT TO GET RID OF ICE!!(Talk) It is one complaint after the other! Why don’t they do something positive,something for the Country! STOP BEING AN OBSTRUCTIONIST!! CONTINUALLY BLOCKING TRUMP EVEN IF IT IS FOR THE BETTER AND GOOD FOR THE COUNTRY! But I am just talking to the wind!
Keep on talking – the American people are watching and listening. Vote in November!
ABSOLUTELY TRUE!!
AMERICA!! REMEMBER THIS NAME … ON ELECTION DAY …. One Republican, Rep. Justin Amash of Michigan, with a name like that ….. we need to VOTE THIS IDIOT OUT OF OFFICE.
That is to include the rest of the SWAMP SCUM REPUBLICANS, SO ADD THE NAME TO YOUR VOTE OUT IN NOVEMBER.
His summary and voting methodology seem to be on the right track …. but voting with the Democrats …. against ICE …… I would say this person is another McCain, and part of the SWAMP SCUM ….. or has sold us out already.
Again …. THANK YOU ALL, IN ADVANCE FOR YOUR PARTICIPATION AND HELPING IN VOTING THE SCUM OUT OF OUR SYSTEM. GOD BLESS YOU, AND YOUR FAMILIES, AMEN!
Please don’t ask “How stupid can liberals get?” They seem to be taking that as a challenge.
I think they are trying to see who can be the most mentally challenged, or just plain stupid, either way they are a vulgar, evil, and lying group I have ever seen.
Liberals Are STUPID THEY WANT TO TURN THE COUNTRY INTO A S__T HOLE NOT MAKE AMERICA GREAT
I am all for an idea someone presented at one time…throw it back in the face of the Left… I am willing to donate what I can to a special fund that would be solely money to start the building of the Wall. I may not have a thousand but a couple of hundred each from several millions of conservatives would be a substantional amount of money that could be matched by the secure wealthy concerned conservative Business men would be a start. Once the money starts the project I would be willing to continue giving towards the Wall. This would anger the prigs in the Left, but they would not be able to stop the project or the money flow. That is better than sending billions of our charity money overseas to unknown pockets and the money never reaching the charity victioms. It would be charity at home and a incensed hatred by the Leftist Pigs.
My idea was sell “virtue Bricks for $10 each. Call the campaign Buy a Brick build THAT wall! Can we start a Go fund me page?
Cute idea
Good idea. I would donate too. I have asked about donating before but never got any response. J
I think it would be a good idea, to publish gated communities of those that voted against ICE and assist the Illegals in removing the locks and wish them well in the gated areas. Especially the Democrap communities that say, Do as we say, Not as we do. Liberals are good at allowing to live, but not in their humble guarded abodes.
100% correct!!!
Get real, be good or be gone in fall elections!! This goes not only for Dems , but also GOP elected officials. , say We the People.
BUILD THE WALL HIGH AND WIDE NOW
And deep very deep.
Of course they won’t let my post go through!
Maybe the 3rd time is the charm, as they say.
These liberals are crazy to think of taking away our protection at the borders.
Maybe the liberals can take an illegal family home to live with them.
How about it Nancy Pelosi? Maybe you needs some angelic, divine MS-13 members
at your place to bunk in with you. Every liberal who votes for open borders can do
the same. Wait until they rob/rape/murder your families. You would be the first one
to want ICE and border agents to come to your aid. Sounds great and noble until the harsh reality sets in.
So very true Susan… living in California, everything is for the Illegals, they have free rein and you have no say. Tired of receiving mail in foreign languages and being a second citizen, with a feeling that you are not a citizen any longer just a supplier of tax money to keep these law breakers in comfort. Free Medical, no demands on them…its not right when you become a second class citizen.
The vast number of Dem’s are total nitwits.
Yes we know… democraps!
I have to wonder what this country would turn out to be if the democrats were in charge completely. We would be over run by illegal invaders who are criminals and every thing between good and bad. We really have a bunch of airheads trying to take over, kick out the ICE who works their butts off to protect our country.
You have not been in Taxifornia.. it is a Illegal state and shared by the homeless. Of course the Gated communities exist, if you can afford them, but exclusive to the Leftist ilk.
The Dems want to let the country be taken over by illegals, then go socialist and we turn into s third world country. While they live in their gated communities with their guards.
These liberals would be the first ones to scream and cry when an illegal tortures or
rapes their women and children. They think it is so great to have open borders.
Wait until the reap the consequences of such an action. It will happen sooner or
later, unfortunately. Let Pelosi see first hand how divine MS-13 can be for her.
I have often thought that the Dems would change their minds about illegals if something happened to their family but, I figured they would have guards and probably are driven places. Only us normal peopke are out in public with no protections.
I wish the GOP leaders had had the courage to put up the Democrat bill calling for the abolition of ICE just to see who’d vote for it?
Why not put a bill up to eliminate the house and the senate? Then find something that would work! That seems to me saner than eliminating an enforcement agency that really does its job. Please, someone in the house admit that you are the problem and the only fix is your voluntary disbanding. You haven’t done anything in three years except get paid. If you are really thinking of the good of the country disband and lets think of a better way. Two more years of no Congress wouldn’t even be noticed. Think it over.
what the hell is wrong with those politicians who voted to get rid of ICE. demos or repubs. they are idiots.
A President vote is the same as a no vote, they see right through the lying democrats.
What is a president vote? 😉
