The White House on Thursday announced that U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement will soon be "forced" to reduce operations at the southern border due to lack of funds.
"Because congressional Republicans are choosing partisan politics over our national security and refusing to pass the bipartisan national security agreement that includes significant border reforms and funding, over the coming weeks, ICE will be forced to reduce operations because of budget shortfalls," Jean-Pierre said during a gaggle on Air Force One.
"When ICE can't conduct these operations, our national security and public safety will be harmed. Speaker Johnson and congressional Republicans should be held accountable. This was their choice," she said.
The Venezuelans who attacked the NYPD, fled, flipped off the media (and America) and are now headed to CA, showed us all their hard-working attitude. These guys would slit your throat. These aren't the benign illegal immigrants under Reagan. These are former prisoners released by every corrupt regime in Central America south. Empty the prisons and make us deal with it.

There are also large numbers of military aged males from unfriendly countries mixed in with the millions of other illegals. It is an organized effort. Truly terrifying if this is as nefarious as it seems.

Could someone please do the math? How can anyone pretend that 5,000 illegal crossings a day, or 1,825,000 a year, represents control of any border?
My wife and her mother came here legally under the Trump administration. Biden’s sham is an insult to all of the people who obeyed the law and came here legally. I have travelled to 51 countries and cannot think of one that I would violate the law and just walk over the border.
Let’s call it what it is. Biden and his cronies hope the 9,000,000 illegals will vote democratic when they can, and turn our nation into a one party autocracy.

Absolutely right. This is a Trojan Horse designed to create a one party welfare state...clear and simple. Call every GOP Senator to oppose this nightmare; especially those inclined to do these types of deals (Romney, Tillis, Rounds, LANKFORD, Graham, Cornyn, Collins, Murkowski, etc.). This bill needs to be DOA. Cap Switchboard is 202-224-3121. Don't get mad, get busy making a difference.

Political borders are a made up thing created by white supremacists on order to maintain power and caste
We spent so much money defending the borders of Ukraine & Israel that we have no money left to defend our own.

Lets not pretend ICE is functioning as anything other than a welcoming committee.
