"They hate ICE because it is effective in deporting illegal aliens. Democrats like illegals because the border jumpers bring Democrats votes and drugs and federal dough."
"Don’t click the video quite yet, which is of Senator Cory “Spartacus” Booker giving a speech at the Newark Liberty International Airport in his hometown.
"Here is how the Star-Ledger of Newark reported it:
N.J.’s Cory Booker accuses Republicans of ‘holding TSA hostage’ amid massive airport delays
U.S. Sen. Cory Booker (D-N.J.) ripped Senate Republicans for holding the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) “hostage” amid the partial government shutdown.
The partial government shutdown has been affecting the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, causing massive security delays at airports across the country. This is because Senate Democrats and Republicans have disagreed on approving spending for Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) for more than a month.
Booker said on MS NOW’s Morning Joe that Democrats have proposed a deal that would fund TSA, the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) and the Coast Guard. But Senate Republicans have rejected the legislation seven times without funding for ICE, Booker said.
He also bashed President Donald Trump for deploying ICE agents to U.S. airports to help TSA security screenings.
"OK. Now look at the video.
"What do you notice?
"No one is there. There are no lines. There are no people waiting to board their plane to Iran or wherever they are headed. There are just a few gendarmes milling about, perhaps guarding the senator.
"This is about ICE, not TSA. Republicans fully funded ICE through the end of Trump’s second presidency. Unable to screw ICE directly, Democrats tried to hold TSA agents hostage by refusing to pay them.
"After a few weeks of this nonsense, Trump finally sent ICE in to help and the result was a return to a calm, cool, clean scene at the nation’s airports.
"Nevertheless, Spartacus made an ass of himself, telling a few reporters at the Newark airport, “Donald Trump has brought chaos into our airport in New Jersey. This is his way of doing things. Chaos, cruelty and corruption that is visiting upon us now: It’s Donald Trump. Won’t fund the TSA and has brought ICE to our airport here.
" 'Get ICE out of our airports. It’s not good for our customers. It’s not good for our flyers.” . . .More
