STOP the Defund ICE Madness

​Do you remember way back in the summer of 2020, a mere five year years ago, when another Minnesotan, George Floyd, was killed because he resisted arrest? And became a “martyr” for another liberal cause to defund the police? All because ONE police officer was overtaken by his own zealousness, prejudice or other uncontrolled emotion.

This caused unrequited racial discord that summer and for several years thereafter. Until more reasonable people took control of the narrative. 

Until recently.

Now, this month, Minnesota is once again the focus of uncontrolled protests, led by the same Governor, Tim Walz, who seems to conveniently forget he swore to uphold the laws of the United States and the Constitution, to instead lead the new call to defund ICE. You know. The Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency, created by the Congress with bipartisan support, under the supervision of the Department Homeland Security.

If you recall, ICE was created in March 2003 as a result of the Homeland Security Act of 2002, which merged the investigative and interior enforcement elements of the former US Customs Service and the Immigration and Naturalization Service. Its mission is to identify, investigate, and eliminate vulnerabilities in the nation's border, economic, transportation, and infrastructure security. 

Presidents from both political parties have recognized and acknowledged the importance of this agency to eliminate those people presently in this country illegally, especially those who committed crimes in their home countries or here, since they arrived. 

But now, suddenly Democrats and liberals who oppose President Trump’s constitutional responsibility to enforce our immigration laws have grabbed on to the cause to Defund ICE. Which seems to be the cry in so-called sanctuary states and cities who harbor illegal aliens. For various nefarious purposes.

Reasonable Democrats, as well as Republicans and Independents, support the elimination of illegals, especially those with criminal backgrounds. Those who have entered into our country and commit additional heinous crimes against society do not deserve additional “due process”, since none was given to THEIR victims. And there are too many.

It is time to end the insanity to defend these people and send them back to their countries of origin. And prosecute those elected officials who continue to violate their oaths to defend OUR country.

Including both Federal and State representatives and governors, and others, who violate the ConstItution and our laws.
