Polls at this moment in time do not mean anything.

SO you believe policy should be carried out based on upticks and downticks in polls?

THAT is why nothing ever gets done.

Is there a country anywhere not full of fricking morons?

You don't understand how cratering public support, in a democracy, matters? Especially in an election year?

And cut off all aid to any state that does not provide their beneficiary lists, voter rolls, etc. and be prepared to tell any judge that blocks or enjoin such orders to frick off.

Perhaps Wheels should do a little recalibration of his own.

You don't stop and tweak a machine that is running efficiently. He needs to worry less about ICE and more about Jasmine Falisha Crockett and Eyepatch McNoname.

Abbott engages in doublespeak. If Trump's policy is to deport ALL illegals then the Left is not only going to “lose respect “, they are going to gas light and start a violent Revolution.

Abbott is like Cassidy; both will fold when the pressure is on.

Send ICE to Colony Ridge, Texas. It is the largest hispanic development in Texas and the developers and Greg Abbott are on speed dial to each other.

quote:

Colony Ridge is a land development spanning tens of thousands of acres just north of Houston, Texas, advertised as a means to own property in America. Just for scale, this rivals the footprint of Washington, D.C., with a population estimated to have already eclipsed 50,000 and growth occurring at an alarming pace. In 2019, I received a briefing from Cleveland Independent School District (ISD), a school system near Colony Ridge. During this meeting, I learned that Cleveland ISD is among the fastest-growing school districts in the state – increasing by 312% since 2011. At the current pace, Colony Ridge could have 150,000 residents by the decade’s end.

Colony Ridge has been an enormous concern since I learned of its existence shortly after taking the oath of office in 2015 – frankly, keeping me awake many nights since.

Various reports indicate that crime and violence have increased (including a cartel presence), wastewater contamination is flowing into bayous and drainage ditches, inadequate mitigation systems are causing widespread flooding, and an overwhelming burden now rests on existing infrastructure in the area – including schools, emergency services, roads, and more – and this is just a small glimpse into the state of affairs in Colony Ridge. Homes are said to be in various states of disrepair. Regardless of your view on illegal immigration, these residents appear to be living in extremely hazardous conditions.


Greg Abbott is a POS!!
Fastest Growing Illegal Immigrant Development in the USA!!

The plan should have been simple.

1. Create a hierarchy of those criminal aliens.
2. Prioritize picking those up.
3. Blast their crimes all over social media, news, etc.
4. Gain the support of most reasonable people.

What's happened is that they picked up a few lawn guys along the way and pissed off the sky screaming blue hair people. Now they can't walk it back.

ICE cannot properly function as long as the funded, trained, ANTIFA agitators are not curtailed. We’ve seen the evidence of the high level signal chatter groups that go right up the MN political chain. This insurgency is unlawful and destructive. This requires a strong, intelligent DOJ to bring these groups to heel. No more blood in the streets. Judicial policing needs to get its footing.

Forget the Judiciary, un, we can’t even remove murderers and child rapists. No way the Leftist let their street warriors go down.

Something that's being lost here is laying essentially federal siege to a city and dealing with all the issues of crowd control and arrest of us citizens behaving poorly isn't their mission. They arent trained to deal with an major part of the city's population actively trying to obstruct them. Its frankly unfair to.ask them to try and operate under those conditions and expect shite like this not to happen. We can blame Minn leaders all we want but at some point Trump has to take responsibility even if.it means sending in the military......or backing Immigration enforcement out.

Builder buds spent plenty for him to turn a blind eye to colony ridge. He needs to pipe down.

Greg Abbott has more illegal immigrants in his state than any state not named California. Texas is overrun with low iq illegal immigrants.

I said when ICE had to barricade themselves in that parking garage(IIRC NYC) that leadership was letting them down. Once no support from the locals has been established, more federal support is needed. You can't ask those guys to do what they do and not make sure they have enough people.

Same thing in Minnesota. Once local law enforcement hostility/incompetence has been established. You have to bring in more bodies. If not then don't stick your guys out there on an island. Trump and his people failed on that part.

But that doesn't mean tucking their tail and running away.
