Here's a Good Move -- House To Vote On Democrats' bill to Abolish ICE

Be careful what you wish for!  That's some good advice for the far left Democrats who have recently been calling for ICE to be abolished.  ICE is Immigration and Customs Enforcement and it is responsible for enforcement of the immigration law at the border.  Far left loonies like Cynthia Nixon in New York and a growing list of senators like Kamala Harris and Kirsten Gilibrand have joined the call to get rid of the agency.  They don't offer anything to replace ICE; apparently they just want unguarded and open borders for the USA.

Today, the House Republican leadership came up with a great strategy for dealing with this move by the Democrats:  the bill to abolish ICE which was offered by some Democrats is going to be brought up for a vote in the near future.  It won't pass; not a single Republican will vote for it.  More important, however, it is likely that a majority of Democrats won't vote for the bill either.  This will emphasize the split between the far left loonies and the rest of the Democrats.  Those who vote for the bill will be labeled as crazies, something that can be used against them in future elections (like November).  That who vote against the bill will win the hatred of the far left faction of the Dems.  For the GOP, it's a win-win situation.
