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
Allowed it to gain traction
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
Yea no shes definetly had someone think out her paltform for her
What that is exactly depends on how tinfoil hat you want to get
"Ocasio-Cortez wants to abolish Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and believes there should be a "clear" path to citizenship for unauthorized immigrants.
"As overseen by the Trump administration, ICE operates with virtually no accountability, ripping apart families and holding our friends and neighbors indefinitely in inhumane detention centers scattered across the United States," Ocasio-Cortez said on her website.
She also wants more protections for young unauthorized immigrants known as "Dreamers" and immigrants who have temporary protections from deportation."
I dont think so?
