Nice: House Republicans to force vote on abolishing ICE

AllahpunditPosted at 10:01 pm on July 12, 2018

Basic good midterm politics. I think?

 

    House GOP leaders plan to bring a Democratic measure calling for the abolishment of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) to the House floor, hoping to force Democrats into a difficult vote…

    “Democrats have been trying to make July 4th about abolishing ICE, which is a radical, extreme position that would lead to open borders and undermine America’s national security,” House Majority Whip Steve Scalise (R-La.) told The Hill.

    “I think it’s the wrong approach. I think everyone ought to be on record about where they stand on that issue.”

Good move.

[Sanguine]

Yes, I like it too.

[Weird Tolkienish Figure]

Smart move.

This'll drive a wedge between the lunatics on the left and the ever shrinking portion that still has the capacity for rational thought.

The three House Democrats behind legislation introduced Thursday to abolish U.S. Immigrations and Customs Enforcement (ICE) announced in a statement late Thursday that they would vote ‘no’ on their own bill if it is brought to the floor, accusing Republicans of planning to bring it up for a vote as a “political stunt.”

Reps. Mark Pocan (D-WI), Pramila Jayapal (D-WA), and Adriano Espaillat (D-NY) said they would use the opportunity to debate immigration.

They are really nervous since the House Latino conference voted to not support the effort.  Depending on how much money the DNC has to bribe them with, this could change by tomorrow.

Interesting play.

As others have posted above, this is a VERY smart move -- if the Pubbies have the fortitude to push it through.

Do they...?

I would say no but maybe they will surprise me.

Surprise us with the guts to go through with it, and watch as nobody gives it any media exposure at all.
