This at least puts a hold on increasing funding for ICE, it’s too bad their MASSIVE budget was appropriated in the BBB, otherwise this would stop their pay
Almost like the pedophile knew his gestapo would be challenged so he pursed it up real good from the start. Hey may be a shitty president but he's a damn good con man criminal pedophile piece of shit. No lie there. The best.
Fucking good.
Ideally, the Democrats would simply refuse to negotiate at all - as far as I am concerned, their demands are the bare minimum, and if those aren’t met I would rather DHS just stay shut down indefinitely. I feel bad for the TSA workers, air traffic controllers, and FEMA workers, but if them quitting en masse after too long without pay is what it takes to grind things to enough of a halt to get some real changes made, it is better than having to shut down all federal workers, which would still be an acceptable method IMHO.
Also, can anyone explain why the Big Ugly Bill means this doesn’t affect funding for ICE/CBP/etc? I don’t understand how they can be part of DHS but separately funded. AFAIK, the shutdown discussions are related to raising the debt ceiling, and even though Congress has allocated all those insane billions to immigration enforcement, it’s all still borrowed money. I’m sure there is an explanation that makes sense, but I have yet to hear it elucidated.
Dems: “ICE needs to obey the law!” MAGA: “WHY ARE YOU SO UNREASONABLE!?” Dems: “ICE needs to focus more on immigrants who are actually here illegally and stop terrorizing & killing citizens and legal visitors.” MAGA: “WHY ARE YOU SO WOKE ABOUT EVERYTHING!? I CANT DEAL WITH YOU!”
Partial? Aww, it's Valentine's Day— can't we go all the way?
I expect in the short amount of time until the Dems once again fold their winning hand for no gain, this will have zero impact on ICE activities.
