That being a thing in general caught me off guard.
I get wanting to change how it operates, okay. But just killing it?
Doesnt feel like the idea was thought through.
It's not that it wasn't thought out, it's that it's just unthinking rambling. @Scarlet
I wouldnt call it rambling
But somebody said it in public
People for some reason thought "This is a good idea!"
And uh
We ended up here?
??
Im honestly quite confused.
Why?
About*
How they actually ended up stating 'Abolish ICE' as part of their platform.
They think it's the correct position
I dunno either, if I had to take a guess it's a mixture of remnant dislike of "Trump's Muslim Ban"
They're just conjuring up fragmented ideological positions that they believe to be absolutely right.
Coupled with the various deportations that have made the news as of late
Or rather that arrest of that lady who was separated from her family mid-day
Do they? I remembr when i first saw it, i skimmed over, and mistook "ICE" for the 'DEA' (I was tired or something)
But then i saw it again, googled ICE, and was very confused.
Just a guess
Abolishing ICE would be both very difficult/Alot of work, and i likely not gain them the result they want
It's not a very well thought out stance
Oh no it is a well thought out stance
When I asked my friend who's a lefty about it she thought they monitored the border too >.>
I wonder how many people have that misconception
Only for me to google and inform her that that's a different branch of Homeland security
Because that's a entirely seperate agency
If its not in a cnn article dont expect them to know it
?
We arent talking about people who love CNN though.
people rarely take the time to research issues, theyll hear something and form an opinion on it without having a solid base
This comes from the 'Justice Democrats' and what's her name, Ocasio Cortez
Yeah i got that name right.
These are people in a similar camp to Bernie
Not Clinton
does she think that ICE patrols the borders?
Ocasio Cortez? I cant imagine she does. She must at least know the gist (IE; Google search) of what they do if she put it in writing as part of her platform
