At what point does this just become domestic terrorism?
U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement is considering downsizing its detention capacity and releasing thousands of migrants from custody due to a budget shortfall that Congress has so far refused to address, a senior agency official told CBS News Wednesday.
Without sufficient funding, officials could be forced to release between 4,000 and 6,000 migrants from long-term immigration detention centers, according to the official, who requested anonymity to discuss internal cost-saving plans.
“Cost-saving plans”.
There would be zero problems getting the House to vote on funding for maintaining or increasing detention capacity. Instead, the Biden admin and Senate Dems insisted on yoking it to a foreign aid bill and then turning the immigration component of it into a witches brew of giveaways that included legalizing every Afghan whom Biden brought to America, providing work permits to illegal alien invaders and continuing to release them into the country. Some argued that it was better than nothing and some that it was worse than nothing.
If the Biden admin wants detention funding, it can get it anytime Congress is in session.
But the Biden administration doesn’t actually want detention funding and is now actively trying to cause more damage by freeing even the few invaders it has in custody.
4,000 to 6,000 migrants is a few days worth.
In a statement to CBS News, Erin Heeter, a DHS spokesperson, warned that a “reduction in ICE operations would significantly harm border security, national security, and public safety.”
“The Administration has repeatedly requested additional resources for DHS’s vital missions on the southwest border and Congress has chronically underfunded them,” Heeter said. “Most recently, Congress rejected the bipartisan national security bill out of hand, which will put at risk DHS’s current removal operations, put further strain on our already overtaxed workforce, and make it harder to catch fentanyl at ports of entry.”
Considering that a key role for ICE now is transporting illegal alien invaders into America, I can’t see that defunding it would be worse than the current situation. Let Texas and a few other state guards patrol the border and try to keep invaders out.
Heeter, incidentally, was a former DSCC assistant.
The budget shortfall also threatens to undermine ICE’s efforts to deport migrants who do not ask for asylum or who are found ineligible for U.S. refuge — a pillar of the Biden administration strategy to reduce the record levels of unlawful border crossings reported over the past years.
Every migrant now knows to ask for asylum and invaders are released and then quickly go to sanctuary cities.
The Biden administration deported 142,000 in 2023. There were nearly a quarter of a million invasions in just Dec 2023 alone.
The default should be to protect America, not destroy her.
Maybe, I’m not being charitable. My feelings might change if I were the one receiving $10M bribes.
SPEND THE MONEY ON FLYING ME ALL BACK TO WHERE THEY CAME FROM THAT WOULD BE LESS EXPENSIVE
Where is all the tax money going? certainly not to maintain the country. I’m beginning to think all those liberal Democrats have secret bank accounts in Switzerland. I read about the massive money gifts shipped oversea but I read of no improvements there and they ask for more and more..
Too many millionaires in politics these days. I would like to see some bios on how our members of the Senat and Congress they got that way and when.
Gaslighting and outright bald-faced lies. That’s the always game of the amoral left wing nuts and moo slims in the Biden Political Mafia. Time to take them down face first on the concrete.
The Biden administration is more like a made-up Hollywood leftist propaganda farce than a responsible patriotic American government that works for the benefit of its citizens.
If Norman Lear were not already dead, I would say that he is the writer, director, and producer.
