On ICE, Democrats abandon the mainstream
Despite
public opposition, numerous Democrats continue to call for
U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) to be abolished.
It’s a belief that falls squarely outside the American
mainstream: According to a recent POLITICO/Morning
Consult poll, only 25 percent of voters support getting
rid of ICE.
A
majority of Americans know we must keep ICE, and for good
reason: Eliminating this crucial piece of our national security
force would grind immigration enforcement to a halt, with
devastating consequences for public safety. Abolishing ICE would
mean abolishing the agency responsible for removing drug dealers,
gang members, and other criminals who exploit America’s border
to take advantage of our communities.
The
numbers don’t lie. Criminals arrested by ICE during the 2017
fiscal year were responsible for:
• More than 76,000 dangerous
drug offenses;
• More than 48,000 assault
offenses;
• More than 11,000 weapon
offenses;
• More than 5,000 sexual
assault offenses;
• More than 2,000 kidnapping
offenses; and
• More than 1,800 homicide
offenses.
Our
immigration law enforcement officers work in dangerous
conditions to protect our communities. We must stand with them.
Recently, 167 Democrats in the House of Representatives refused to
vote for a resolution to support these border officials. “To the
courageous public servants at ICE, men and women, we want you to
know that the American people are with you and my administration
has your back 100 percent,” President Trump said in his
most recent weekly address.
Moving video: Vice President welcomes home fallen American soldiers from the Korean War
Yesterday
in Hawaii, the remains of 55 U.S. Service Members were
returned to American soil. Vice President Mike Pence traveled to
Honolulu to welcome them home.
The
return comes as part of President Trump’s negotiations with
North Korean leader Kim Jong-Un. The President thanked Chairman
Kim for honoring his word. “Incredibly beautiful ceremony as
U.S. Korean War remains are returned to American soil,” the
President tweeted. “Thank you to Honolulu and all of our great
Military participants on a job well done.”
“Some
have called the Korean War the ‘forgotten war.’ But today,
we prove these heroes were never forgotten,” Vice President
Pence said. “Today, our boys are coming home.”
