You can always count on the so-called fringe of the Democratic party to tell us what they all really think
(Daily Caller) Left-wing pundits and activists are increasing pressure on Democratic politicians to embrace the fringe position of abolishing ICE.
Once a fringe idea on the far-left, abolishing the nation’s immigration enforcement agency now looks likely to become a campaign issue in the Democrats’ 2020 presidential primary.
Former Hillary Clinton campaign spokesman Brian Fallon came out for abolishing the agency in January. “ICE operates as an unaccountable deportation force,†Fallon argued. “Dems running in 2020 should campaign on ending the agency in its current form.â€
“Should ICE exist?†MSNBC host Chris Hayes asked Democratic California Sen. Kamala Harris on Thursday. Harris’s answer — “certainly†ICE should exist — sparked a backlash among some liberals.
Liberal writer Jack Mirkinson on Friday slammed Harris for her answer in an article titled, “Not Good Enough, Kamala Harris.â€
Head on over for the rest of the story, but, suffice to say, all the lefties who have been yammering about wanting to keep the “good” illegals while getting rid of the bad ones are simply lying: they want to keep them all.
“ICE​ is terrorizing American communities right now,†Angel Padilla, policy director of the Indivisible Project, told The Nation. “They’re going into schools, entering hospitals, conducting massive raids, and separating children from parents every day. We are funding those activities, and we need to use all the leverage we have to stop it.â€
No, they aren’t entering schools and hospitals. Yes, they are conducting raids, as the law dictates. The parents put their children in this position.
Good luck with this talking point, Dems.

BTW, ICE does a whole lot more than just enforce immigration, as you can see in the “what we do” page.
