Democrats' idiotic attack on ICE

 Hot Air:

What’s the one agenda item you would choose to prioritize in the middle of a raging border crisis? If you’re one of the Democrats on the House Appropriations Committee, it would be to gut the funding of Immigrations and Customs Enforcement (ICE) with a particular focus on the group that’s responsible for detaining illegal aliens and removing them from the country. The panel approved a plan this week that would substantially “make over” the Enforcement and Removal Operations (ERO) segment of the agency, while drastically slashing the budget for those operations. One former director of ICE under the Trump administration described the plan as the “end game” for the agency because Democrats are “tearing it up piece by piece.” (NY Post)

House Democrats are moving to gut Immigration and Customs Enforcement — the federal agency responsible for arresting and deporting illegal immigrants — amid a raging southern border crisis that has grown exponentially since President Biden took office.

The House Appropriations Committee last week approved a plan to substantively makeover the portion of ICE that deals with illegal immigration, known as Enforcement and Removal Operations (ERO), along with changes to how federal law enforcement officers would handle migrants.

But progressive Democrats, some of whom called in 2018 for the outright abolishment of ICE, did not stop there.

I’m sure you remember that whole “abolish ICE” platform that many Democrats ran on during the last election cycle. They were responding to a very vocal minority of activists in the left wing of the party who see border control enforcement officials as the real enemy, while the flood of drug smugglers, human traffickers and aspiring MS-13 members poring over the border are the real “victims” in all of this. And now some of the House Democrats are moving to repay those activists for their support.

...

This is a totally nonsensical policy that will make the country more vulnerable to crime and disease.  Biden's immigration policy has already been a disaster for border communities.  He is attempting to change the demographics of the country and import Democrat voters.  He gave that game away when he told Cubans seeking to leave a tyranny not to come.  The fact that Cubans vote for Republicans is the obvious cause of that decision.

Should Republicans go ahead and add Supreme Court Justices to head off Democrats

Washington Post: Some Democrats eye adding more justices to the Supreme Court to change its ideological bent The once-remote idea has gained the attention of liberals angered by the GOP push to remake the federal courts. Probably the easy way to defeat this court-packing scheme is for Trump to propose doing the same thing now.  It would lead to Democrat denunciations and claims that it would be wrong, thereby blowing up any attempt by them in the unfortunate event of Democrats winning a presidential election.

29 % of companies say they are unlikely to keep insurance after Obamacare

Conn Carroll: A new survey of 368 midsize to large companies found that 29% of them are considering terminating their active employee health care plans when Obamacare is full implemented in 2014. Only 71% of employers surveyed said they did not expect to drop their health coverage, while 20% said they did not know and 9% said they were planning to exit. The latest survey, conducted by Towers Watson, echoes an ealier survey by McKinsey & Co. finding that 30% of private-sector employers were planning to drop their employee health insurance coverage by 2014. When the Congressional Budget Office crunched Obamacare's spending numbers, they estimated that only 7% of employees currently covered by employer-sponsored plans would lose their plans. ... This means the cost of the health care fiasco will be hundreds of billions more than estimated by the CBO and Congressional Democrat. It is also clear that Obama's pledge that you could keep your health care plan if you wanted t

Bin Laden's concern about Zarqawi's remains

James Robbins: ... Bin Laden suggests that President Bush should allow Zarqawi’s body to be returned to his family in Jordan, but this is a matter that is up to the Jordanian government, which so far has not shown much interest in facilitating a homecoming. Bin Laden mocks King Abdullah II, calling him a Coalition minion, and asking “w hat scares you about Abu Musab after he’s dead? You know that his funeral, if allowed to happen, would be a huge funeral showing the extent of sympathy with the mujahedin.” A large crowd would definitely turn out, though most people would be on hand to demonstrate their anger and disgust. Last November’s hotel bombings in Amman , masterminded by Zarqawi, are still fresh in people’s memory, and mentioning them to Jordanians has the same visceral impact as memory of the 9/11 attacks does here. Jordan has adopted a zero-tolerance policy towards those who choose to mourn the country’s least favorite son, and four opposition members of parliament who paid con
