@StevePoliti Blame the Biden Administration for giving illegal border crossers the false hope of “if you come, you can stay”. It was only a matter of time that US citizens would elect a President that would enforce the immigration laws passed by Congress. Let this be a lesson learned.
What was the end result of Democrats’ DHS shutdown?
Zero ICE reforms, and ICE and CBP are now funded with an additional $70 billion through the rest of Trump’s presidency.
After negotiations fell apart in the Senate, Republicans simply went around Dems and funded Trump’s immigration enforcement agenda on their own, & Dems were powerless to stop it.
And this is *on top* of the money ICE & CBP already got in the One Big Beautiful Bill last year.
ICE & CBP now have more money coming to their coffers than they ever would have if there had been no DHS shutdown.
@SenGillibrand Let’s be candid, you have no interest in enforcing immigration law. Just like the Dems willful open border policies have American casualties, so does cleaning up the mess, just on a far smaller scale. ICE is make communities safer not more dangeroous. I am embarrassed for you!
