This past Thursday, Republican leader of the Senate, John Thune, said that if the Democrats do not come to an agreement with the Republicans on funding for the Department of Homeland Security by Friday, February 13, the agency will have to shut down due to lack of funds.
Perfect! Isn’t that what we want anyway?
Most Americans – Republicans, Democrats, and Independents – are in favor of tighter restrictions on ICE and the Border Patrol. What better way than to restrict their activities and/or shut them down!
On February 5th, Senator Schumer and Representative Jeffries presented a list of 10 demands that would need to be met for the Democrats to support the Republican funding bill. This leads me to think that the Democrats may have figured out a way to stop President Trump and Stephen Miller from their outrageous and illegal operations. Hurrah! The two parties, Democrats and Republicans, have until this coming Friday, February 13th to resolve this matter before the Department of Homeland Security can no longer pay its employees. Let’s hope that they do not come to any agreement! Let’s put ICE agents back in the freezer and the Border Patrol agents back on the borders where they should be instead of terrorizing American citizens and most immigrants who are in America for the single purpose of trying to make better lives for themselves and their families. We are led to believe that there are illegal immigrants who have committed serious crimes, and they should be held to account, but DHS agents are arresting and terrorizing all residents who, as Supreme Court Justice Kavanagh has said can be “racially profiled”!
Happy Valentine’s Day!
