Dem lawmaker calls for ICE to be abolished

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Rep. Earl Blumenauer (D-Ore.) on Sunday called for U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) to be abolished, citing the controversy over the detention of immigrant children on the U.S. southern border.

"We should abolish ICE and start over, focusing on our priorities to protect our families and our borders in a humane and thoughtful fashion," Blumenauer wrote in a Medium post.

"Now is the time for immigration reform that ensures people are treated with compassion and respect. Not only because it is the moral thing to do, but it's better policy and will cost less," he continued.

Blumenauer has long been a critic of the agency and has voted against its formation in 2002.

1. ICE, along with Homeland Security are two putrid inventions of the Neo-Cons.

For that reason alone, ICE and Homeland Security should be abolished.

3. Every time I hear that word 'Homeland' I just physically feel ill. It just smacks of Nazi Germany.

2. How have we gotten along allowing immigrants for a hundred years?

Well...there was a lot of racism involved then too, but the country did not collapse as a result of sharing the American Dream.
