Top Democrats see danger on sudden party push to abolish ICE

Stef W. Kight, Haley Britzky, Mike Allen14 hours ago

Top Democrats tell Axios they're worried that a sudden wave of ambitious party members calling for the abolition of ICE — U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, which is newly controversial because of the detained kids — will make the party look weak on security, a key issue for many swing voters.

Between the lines: These Dems fear the phrase makes them an easy target for conservatives who accuse Democrats of wanting "open borders."

•The issue is getting traction after this week's surprise upset by 28-year-old Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, who made "Abolish ICE" a central tenet of her campaign against Rep. Joe Crowley, who had been the king of Queens.

Trump was elected because of "I'm going to build a wall"...

DC has been ignoring middle America screaming about being invaded by illegal aliens year after year and have no clue how angry people are - which you would think Trump having been elected might be a clue...

And now the left has gone head on against middle America.

They deserve what is coming.

This is a pretty short clip of VDH several years back talking about illegal immigration and who benefits from it.  Very clear and well thought out.

If Obrador wins, the Dems need to be hammered on whether they will facilitate his invasion of Mexican citizens.
