I’m introducing a bill to #AbolishICE & crack down on the agency’s blanket directive to target & round up people. pic.twitter.com/xhHsOHCdNH ‐ Rep. Mark Pocan (@repmarkpocan) June 25, 2018 "During my trip to the southern border, it was clear that ICE, and its actions of hunting down and tearing apart families, has wreaked havoc on far too many people. From conducting raids at garden centers and meatpacking plants, to breaking up families at churches and schools, ICE is tearing apart families and ripping at the moral fabric of our nation," Pocan said in a statement. His press office said that his bill would create a commission to provide recommendations to Congress on how the US. can develop a more humane immigration system. |

| #4 Let us face the rather obvious facts shall we? Our border situation can only be described as a conflict between nations. As in Middle Eastern and African conflicts, be it diamonds, gold, illicit drugs, cheap labor, or oil, the main catalyst is invariably someone's economic gain. The continuation of the conflict ensures the continuation of economic gain. War and conflict are the business, and business is good. |

| #2 Why not also just have a bill to eliminate pay for Americans and make their rent and land costs as high as possible for the benefit of the feudalists? |

| #1 His press office said that his bill would create a commission to provide recommendations to Congress on how the US. can develop a more humane immigration system. How about building a huge fucking wall on our southern border? |
