Actual title: Democratic Congressmen Accuse Paul Ryan Of Political Stunt For Calling For Vote On THEIR ‘Abolish ICE’ Bill — Say They’ll Vote No


Three Democratic congressmen declared on Thursday that they will vote “no” on their own legislation if House Speaker Paul Ryan puts their bill on the floor.


Reps. Mark Pocan of Wisconsin, Pramila Jayapal of Washington and Adriano Espaillat of New York introduced the Establishing a Humane Immigration Enforcement Act earlier Thursday, which would abolish ICE within one year of enactment, and also assemble a commission tasked with setting up a new immigration enforcement agency.

The three congressmen promptly released a joint statement accusing Ryan of not taking their bill seriously, and as an act of protest, they will vote down their own legislation

Inspired by John Kerry? "I actually did vote for the $87 billion before I voted against it."

Mark Pocan is an idiot.

One of the WI Fleabaggers who left the state in order to avoid having to vote on Gov. Walkers reform bill. A true man pussy...so I’m not surprised.

Do it. Put the Bill up for a vote. Make them eat their political stunt...make them eat their words.

They should have just thrown this up without the ‘going to do’ announcement. Put them on the spot before they can think themselves out of the corner they put themselves in.

Ryan and his leadership team aren’t that savvy. They prefer to play by the Marquess of Queensberry rules.

I like what Ryan is doing here.this exposes the dims in the headlights. It shows their extreme pro illegal alien position. The insanity of abolishing ice is a Republican vote getter for the election. After exposing them yesterday as supporting the most corrupted law enforcement officer since the fbi Russian spy that worked for the FIB ‘the dims are squarely trapped on the island of supporting treason and sedition and now this. We will retain the house and increase our Senate seats by at least 3 and up to 9!!

I have always thought one of the best scenes was when “Red” Danather sees the PIRA members and asks if they are on Thornton’s side. Their response; “If we were on his side there would not be one stone upon another” of his house was SO TRUE.

It would just seem logical if you were going to abolish ICE...the way to start is to take out all the laws that ICE would enforce. Yet, you don’t see a single movement in that way. It’s like we will get rid of this part of the government but the enforcement of the laws on the books will be a Scooby-Doo-type mystery.

"Lol, you can’t make this stuff up."

Yup. the DemonRats get their five minutes of fame in front of a screaming mob with their ridiculous notions but Ryan takes the smirk off their faces when he schedules it for a vote. Bet there won't be all that many who feel secure enough to vote a yes....but there will be a few I suppose? Let them step up and state it on the record instead of in front of a extreme left camera crew and crowd.

It's a pity that Klamidia Harris and Pocahontes Warren can't cast their vote in the House since they have been screaming about it all week.

It would be a hoot to have all the Republicans sit this one out and see who of the Democrats would vote for it.

I was just going to point out that White, Christian, Natural Born American Hetero Males are a dying breed in our Government at all levels.

When we reach the point when there are no more, I hope everyone is pleased with the result.

*SPIT*

Reminds me of Robert Mueller's stunt when he charged those Russian companies and they decided to show up in court to defend themselves.

Oops! Mueller was not expecting them to actually respond. Egg on face.

These three democRAT idiots (but then I repeat myself) decide to draw up legislation to abolish ICE and Ryan calls their bluff and says let's vote on it.

Oops! They were not expecting anyone to take their protest bill seriously but now they have to vote against their own bill. Egg on face.

Good. Let them vote to keep ICE - then send out flyers to all the hard-leftists in their communities telling them that their Congressmen support ICE and its policies of breaking up families (to suppress their votes).

In other words, play at the SAME LEVEL as Democrats.
