    America is a country of immigrants. The entire premise of this place is based on immigration. If you don’t like that you can move and if you don’t understand it you should read a book.

  2. > The bill is unlikely to pass in the Republican-controlled House of Representatives. If enacted, it would not ban local and state law enforcement from working with Immigrations and Customs Enforcement or other federal agencies, but would remove the 287(g) method that Democrats say is being abused.

    This is a pretty narrow measure, but it still won’t pass; at least there is some symbolic if not political pressure from this bill.

    And this is why as an Independent, I don’t vote Democrat anymore. They just completely don’t get reality

  4. Headline is a bit misleading. It makes it sound like it’s ending federal immigration enforcement. But it’s ending the feds use of local law enforcement for immigration enforcement.

    > A team of House Democrats is reintroducing legislation aimed at ending a federal program that allows state and local law enforcement to participate in federal immigration enforcement.

    > The bill targets the 287(g) program that allows the federal government to deputize local law enforcement for immigration enforcement purposes.

    > Rep. Pramila Jayapal (D-Wash.) said the program undermines police-community relationships.

  5. With an emphasis of getting rid of those with criminal records. The general consensus, from what I’ve read, is that he has taken it much farther than expected. The scenes have been horrifying. Most Americans are not happy with the extremes. And I’m sure many would not have voted for him if they knew what he (well, Miller) REALLY had in mind.

  6. I think they should reintroduce the bill if the Democrats win back both the House and the Senate in 2026. Now is not a perfect time to do it.

  7. bad bad bad idea. Immigration enforcement is good. Just how we do is what needs lot of debate

  8. Interesting people here are for defunding ICE. But I heard there were ok with spending billions supporting illegals.

    Don’t do that unless you want to lose the elections. Don’t underestimate the racism and fear in America.
