During an appearance on Fox News on Sunday, far-right Sen. Tom Cotton (R-AR) accused Democrats of conspiring to put the lives of ICE agents families at risk as part of their strategy to dial back funding for the Department of Homeland Security.
Speaking with host Shannon Bream about the competing funding bills that have Republicans in the House and the Senate at each other's throats, the Arkansas Republican tried to shift the blame to Democrats.
They have become crazy on this issue, he complained to the host. Whatever procedural differences we have between the House and the Senate, the reason we are at this impasse is that Democrats are using long TSA lines to throw a temper tantrum about deportations of violent criminal illegal aliens and funding of ICE and the Border Patrol. We pre-funded ICE and the Border Patrol last summer in our big budget bill because we saw how radicalized Democrats had become.

(3,697 posts)Fuck right off, Tom Cotton.
ICE are the street militias of this scenario, massively funded, who are going after female and child immigrants who are trying to do everything right, and who are here LEGALLY. And MURDERING US citizens in the process.
As everyone here knows, a pathetically small % of the people ICE are rounding up for their concentration camps have ANY criminal record, let alone violent criminal ones.
And EXACTLY ZERO Democrats are complaining about violent criminals being deported. That's NOT what you are actually DOING, you giant bag of bovine excrement
