Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez's problem with ICE is legit. They deported the wife of a Veteran and then they detained a military translator because they thought he was illegal, and they regularly detain Americans they mistake for illegal aliens which is a violation of Civil Rights. They're also very immoral people who spend time kicking over water supplies in the desert because dead immigrants are better than no immigrants, amirite Ajax?


If this is your mission to fundamentally transform America, I guess disbanding ICE is a necessary step,

It is stupid posts like these that reveal what you are. An intellectual peon and a sad old man who relies on stupid memes and FOX News liars to get you worked up in a manufactured outrage over something that actually benefits the country.

ldsfaqs has hinted that a simple chain link fence suffices, because when Trump says, “wall”, he really means fence, too. No specifics offered there, of course, so I’ll take the thrifty option. Because wall is fence.

I’m curious, Ajax: what exactly do you mean when you say “the wall.” How long? What’s it made of? How tall is it?


It's a lot easier for the next Democratic president to just come in and tell ICE, "Don't deport anyone unless they're guilty of a criminal offense." This assumes that Anastasia Ocasio Cortez isn't elected and ICE is abolished. Tearing down the wall would be more difficult.

When you review what he said during the campaign, he was all over the map. He’d call it a fence. Then he’d correct someone who called it a fence by saying it’s a wall. I agree with faqs that a chain link fence would qualify. (Not sure others of his base would agree).

A dozen immigrant workers at one of President Donald Trump’s golf clubs in New York who are in the U.S. illegally were fired this month even though managers had known about their legal status for years, a lawyer for the workers said Saturday.


Any Conservatives want to explain how and why Trump has been employing illegal immigrants for years? Are all his employees American citizens with good healthcare plans?

Cheap hires.

Probably not. Let's see if he's got any employment ads online. :-)
