    "Abolish ICE" push kind of fell apart for the same semantical reason: Republicans pretended that Democrats wanted absolutely no immigration or customs enforcement. Warren never said "abolish" herself, talked about "replacing" ICE. https://twitter.com/ParkerMolloy/status/1199357868992090113 …https://www.cnn.com/2018/06/30/politics/elizabeth-warren-ice-immigration-protests/index.html …

        Some Dems were actually calling for its abolition though. Like Gillibrand.

        Yes, I was covering it closely. A couple of Dems said the "A" word, but it was notable at the time that Warren said "replace." There was no hot Dem primary so people didn't pile on her.

        At what point in our history did borders *stop* being open? By your metric: 2002. I'd say it began with the first, you know, laws on the subject (the Chinese Exclusion Acts).

        Do your shoulders ever get tired from carrying so much water for these clowns?

        Yeah, better to pile on negative sentiment instead of working things out. That's much more constructive.

        That's apples and oranges. Most education is locally funded and governed. States and localities literally can't enforce immigration law; that needs to be a federal agency.

        Lefties and Liberals are not nimble at politics on the national stage, which may explain why one of their own has not won a national election in generations.
