    The House voted today on an inane resolution regarding ICE. The resolution makes several dubious claims and denounces calls to abolish ICE. I wouldn’t abolish ICE without an alternative, but there’s no reason to treat a federal agency as though it’s beyond reproach and reform.

        Conservatives used to want to abolish DHS—as well as many other departments and agencies that bloat government. If only today’s members of Congress cared as much about defending the Constitution as they do about defending ICE, an agency that’s existed only since 2003.

        Honest question: why do you think we need a replacement before abolishing ICE?

        ICE replaced INS.

        ICE didn’t replace INS. INS was all three of the current components (USCIS, CBP and ICE) under one big umbrella. Creation of DHS separated them out but put them and roughly 20 other agencies under an even bigger umbrella.

        No problem - the enforcement part has always been there with INS and its predecessors, but I think people forget that when they think of ICE as some sort of new thing.

        We have an alternative. It's called policing. If an immigrant harms me, I will call the cops. That is as statist as anyone needs to be.

        The police don't deport people rube. They are supposed to detain them until ICE can take them. You should do a little research to raise that IQ.

        Yes, hillbilly, that is the actual point. Criminals belong in jail and peace loving immigrants belong in America.

        Ever hear of a thing called the 10th Amendment? It punctuates the fact that ICE is unConstitutional as fuck.

        What giant ridiculous leap. Abolishing ICE will not open borders. Ever heard of border patrol?

        To quote from #Chess, a musical that seems appropriate given current events, "Nobody's on nobody's side". All I want is government that stops trying to legislate hatred, stupidity, and ignorance and starts working for the good of all people.
