I am going to assume you have the level of faux-outrage over our gutless shitstain of a president refusing to support the intelligence agency and law enforcement.The House voted overwhelmingly Wednesday for a resolution backing U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, as Republican leaders sought a political advantage in highlighting liberal attacks on the agency.
A handful of Democrats have embraced calls from activists to abolish the agency, known as ICE, because of its aggressive tactics to apprehend, detain and deport undocumented immigrants, including raids of homes and workplaces across the country. These opponents say the agency’s duties could be better handled by other agencies that could focus enforcement on threats from terrorism and criminal activity.
Most Democrats, including House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) and the Congressional Hispanic Caucus, have kept their distance from the effort. That caution was on display Wednesday, as most Democrats voted “present” rather than taking a position for or against the resolution sponsored by Rep. Clay Higgins (R-La.).
The vote was 244 to 35, with 133 Democrats voting present.
House GOP passes measure lauding ICE; Democrats withhold votes in protest
Democrats love to play political games unless it works against them. For the last couple of weeks all we heard about is how the left wants to abolish this necessary agency to secure our sovereignty. But now the Republicans are asking them not to burn the candle on both ends. Either you support our enforcement agency or you don't. Well, I guess they didn't want to decide with the media ready to report. They want losers to think they are on their side supporting the abolishment of ICE while at the same time not looking like radicals.
This is a political stunt known as Put Your Money Where Your Mouth Is, and the Democrats don't like it.
