The Democrats Won’t Abolish ICE

When immigrants are under attack, what do Democrats do? Not much. At the time of writing, there is a partial government shutdown that has halted funding to the Department of Homeland Security, which houses ICE, Customs and Border Protection (CBP), and other agencies. This is only a partial shutdown, though, because earlier this month the Democrats passed a spending bill that funded all other parts of the government, which essentially gave up any minimal leverage they had. What’s more, ICE and CBP both have more than enough advance funding from the “Big Billionaire Bill” to continue operating seamlessly.

The Democrats are demanding “common sense” reforms to ICE, the rogue military force occupying cities, shooting protesters, and kidnapping our neighbors. Their demands include body cameras, banning of masks, and requiring ICE officers to wear identification—pitiful reforms to an agency that needs to be completely abolished. Even if the Democrats were to win the measly reforms to ICE they’re calling for, Trump and ICE have shown they’re more than willing to break the law. While some Democrats, like Representative Seth Moulton of Massachusetts, are putting forward proposals to “abolish ICE,” many more are calling to “abolish Trump’s ICE,” indicating a desire to run ICE on their own terms.

The Democrats’ Track Record On ICE​

The Democrats are under pressure from the growing anti-ICE movement to look like they’re putting up a fight, like Democratic Minneapolis Mayor Frey saying “ICE needs to get the fuck out.” But where was this energy when the “Big Billionaire Bill” put $170 billion towards DHS last summer and the Dems put up no fight? Where was this energy when the Democrats were in office overseeing ICE throughout the past two decades? This is far from the first time the Dems have tried to co-opt the movement against ICE for their own electoral gains.

Under Trump 1.0, a few Democrats were in favor of rebuilding ICE “from scratch” in the leadup to the 2020 election, including Kamala Harris. But later that year, the Democrats voted for a bill to continue to put billions of dollars a year towards ICE. In his final year in office as president, Biden pushed through a spending bill to put a then-historic $3.4 billion towards building detention centers where hundreds of thousands are being detained today. Establishing ICE in 2003 was a bipartisan effort, and it’s been a bipartisan effort to maintain.

To Abolish ICE, We’ll Need A New Party​

While they’re riding the anti-ICE wave today, we can have no faith in the Democrats to negotiate on behalf of our movement because of their alliance with the interests of the anti-immigrant billionaires, which is expressed in their meager proposals to reform the deportation machine. The Democrats will say that we need to vote for them in the midterms to fight Trump, but when in power, the Democrats continued to fund and support ICE, leading to mass disappointment and Trump gaining more power.

But it’s at moments like this—when workers in Minneapolis are going on a general strike against ICE, tens of thousands of students are walking out, and mass protests are erupting across the country—that we see where our power really lies: the collective power of working-class action. The working class kicked Greg Bovino out of Minneapolis and ended the ICE operation, not the courts or the Democrats. This is the movement we need a new party to be based in, and this is exactly the type of movement that the Democrats are scared of because they know that it goes against their pro-business interests as well. That’s why we need to build a new party, independent of the corporate Democrats, to build the fight to abolish ICE today.

I expect them to use DHS to bust open the border and fly in millions of illegals again like what Alejandro Mayorkass did during Biden however any Federal agent identified by their commie nigger foot soldiers will just get Nuremberg'd (commie show trial lawfare to ruin their lives).
 
I think it comes down to who their front runner will be.

Some (on paper) centrist like Newsom or Shapiro, I can very much see them abandoning abolishing and instead making their hands more tied instead.

Some leftoid like AOC, I absolutely can see trying to make an effort.

Also holy shit, you can feel the journalist clenching their teeth as they wrote this lmao
 
Of course they won't, commie. They'll repurpose it into another refugee services department, have high profile enforcement cases against the enemy white country du jour (Russians here illegally about to get fucked, what few there are. If Ukraine ever makes a peace deal Washington doesn't like they'll get it too), and everyone including the cat lady who wrote this will take their new marching orders that ICE is good now, because they don't practice politics as principles, they practice it as vibes.

What was the last government program a Democrat ever willingly shut down? Far better in their mind to make it a shadow of itself and hand out more patronage gigs to their friends.

its really been dawning on me how funny it is that im meant to read this and both take it serious and take it as a bad thing, the very idea that I or anyone else should care about immigrants being under attack is preposterous. such a funny world when these are things that people will choose to use as claim to be violent niggers.
 
The Democrats are probably going to use ICE in order to deport Whites who don't follow their SJW form of politics.
 
Consider the following:

If you're going to have a slave caste, you're going to need enforcement and control systems. Can't have the lumpenproles getting too big for their britches.

And therein lies the real horror. Establish that slave caste, and keep them in line with the threat of deportation or worse.

How much more debased can American labor activists become that they would gleefully destroy themselves for immigrants that are explicitly here to drive labor costs down and weaken the few remaining bargaining positions left in the US. They are foot soldiers of a financial system they claim to hate and they're proud of it. It doesn't make any sense. There's more to reality than feeling bad that people in other countries have a lower quality of life than you.

You are meant to read this and pretend the demonrats haven't been subversive enough. All the fifth columnist judges and politicians undermining deportation is unsatisfactory to the revolution. There is no end to Marxist demands by design.
 
Yes, please form a new party. Form a new Communist Party of America or something like that, with all the Woke SJW policies, sucking the girl dick, pro-pedophilia, open borders, welfare for all, and health care for all that you want. It will draw votes away from the Democrats, and it will serve to highlight how unpopular these policies really are for Americans, because the vast majority are 20%/80% issues AT BEST, with you retards being on the 20% or less side of things. Most Americans want the deportations. Most Americans support ICE as it is and do not want it defunded. The only reason it is getting the attention it has is because the Democrats want to use it for their own political ends, they've told their propaganda mill in the MSM to negatively report on it, and because the protests are being astroturfed and funded by Pinko Commie faggot billionaires like Soros. If the media were honest, if the DNC actually cared about America and it's citizens, and if the Commie billionaires had their cash flow to the groups they're funding cut off, then none of this would be happening.
