- Republicans are gearing up to force a vote on plans from the left wing of the Democratic Party to abolish the US Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency.
- In a vote, Republicans would be forcing vulnerable Democrats to show their hand on a polarizing position that is important to the Democratic base.
Republicans are planning to hold a vote on a bill that would abolish the US Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency in an apparent political attempt to force Democrats to take a side on a hot-button issue that is increasingly popular among the liberal base.
The Hill reported on Thursday that House Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy would bring the bill, introduced by Democratic Rep. Mark Pocan of Wisconsin, to the floor for a vote.

Ryan will find some way to frustrate the Republicans and keep it off the floor.

Democrats forced to vote against their own tomfoolery, pissing off their radical base, and exposing how unrealistic their policies are.

Has the GOPe finally woke? Are they punching back? Is this for real? 80% of Americans do NOT want to abolish ICE.

Next hold a vote on mandatory e-verify and making the first illegal entry a felony and force the Bush League Republicans to show their hand.
BOTH parties have been supporting a bipartisan policy of non-enforcement for 30 years.
The illegal alien inundation was intentional.

Not a good idea, a few globalist RINOs in vulnerable areas might vote with the Dems and abolish it

It's just plain old poker...Texas Hold 'Em.
The Dems go all in after the flop and the Repubs say, "I call."
Thus forcing the Dems to either show their cards or muck. Perfect play.

Heck, why not abolish ICE. Put the military on the border with orders to not let anyone across. Shutting down all immigration would give more jobs to US workers and ease the use of our infrastructures. California would have enough water for all its legal citizens. Taxes would fall drastically. Crimes would fall.

I don’t think that the president would pull this stunt unless he were sure that he has the votes. I feel confident in saying that President Trump did his homework and the optics for the Democrats will be terrible.

The globalist RINOs are not few in number.
The few GOP who stand with the citizens and the rule of law are few in number.
Bush League Republicans hell bent on making the USA into North Mexico still dominate the GOP.
