Dems who drafted bill to abolish ICE now say they'll vote against it

Democrats who drafted a bill to abolish Immigration and Customs Enforcement [ICE] suddenly announced Thursday night that they would vote against it if the legislation went to the floor, after House Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy told Fox News he intended to call their bluff.

"We know Speaker [Paul] Ryan is not serious about passing our 'Establishing a Humane Immigration Enforcement System Act,' so members of Congress, advocacy groups, and impacted communities will not engage in this political stunt," Reps. Mark Pocan of Wisconsin, Pramila Jayapal of Washington and Adriano Espaillat of New York told The Hill and other news outlets. "If Speaker Ryan puts our bill on the floor, we plan to vote no and will instead use the opportunity to force an urgently needed and long-overdue conversation on the House floor."

McCarthy, R-Calif., said earlier Thursday he would place a bill to abolish ICE on the House floor later this month.

Heh.
Their resolve didn't last very long.

Why not?
Because the Pubbies were going to force them to vote on it.
The democrat-communists who introduced this proposed legislation never expected that they would actually have to vote on it. It was all "for show".

And folks, this is how you beat them.
Call them... on everything.
Stand up to them, and they scurry away like rats.
Which is exactly what they are.
