Pay the TSA!!!

The reason they’re tying ICE reforms to funding is because it’s widely believed that the Republicans will pass the ICE funding separately through budget reconciliation.

HS funding deal is falling apart.

Senate GOP offered to fund all of DHS, except ICE’s deportation wing (ERO).

Dems just countered and demanded additional concessions, they want major ICE reforms (unmasking, judicial warrants, etc).

GOP says why would we agree to reforms for an agency being defunded?

Dems had an offer on the table to carve out ICE’s removal operations, and fund everything else within DHS, and they are saying no.

They are demanding ICE reforms for an agency they aren’t going to fund.

GOP saying no.

And the shutdown continues - now on day 40.

Yes. At every possible turn the GOP proves it is incapable of governing.

Majority in all three branches and still whining. All the GOP ever does is whine.

This is false. They negotiated with Republicans on the language and Republicans agreed, but when the actual bill came up for vote, none of the stuff the Republicans agreed to put in was there.

Amazing how now the Republicans are all like "WAAAH PAY THESE POOR PUBLIC SERVANTS" when in every shutdown before it was "screw these teat sucking moochers" despite most of those government workers having much higher skills and having more important duties than looking at passports and plane tickets (basically like a bar bouncer at the door looking for fake ID).

No one is ok with the murder of innocent American citizens. Go get your head checked.

The reality is Democrats had no issue with ICE until enforcement became more serious. My view is that all undocumented immigrants should be deported, and if someone chooses to obstruct enforcement or harm themselves in protest, that is on them. It is literally 2 U.S. citizens on that side of this issue who have died in acts framed around ICE.

Meanwhile, there is no clean national database tracking crimes by undocumented immigrants against Americans, but Texas data alone shows illegal noncitizens were charged with over 1,100 homicide offenses, more than 78,000 assaults, and nearly 600,000 total criminal offenses from 2011 to early 2026, with over 224,000 convictions.

Texas is only about 8 to 9 percent of the U.S. population, so scaling that proportionally suggests nationwide totals would reach into the millions of offenses, including thousands of homicides and hundreds of thousands of assaults over a similar period.

On the labor side, about 9.7 million unauthorized immigrants were in the U.S. workforce in 2023, roughly 5.6 percent of all workers, showing the scale of their presence in the job market.

Whatever your politics, those numbers are far bigger than 2.

Democrats have no problem with borders and border enforcement. It is a right wing myth that Biden had "open boarders" and that "millions of undocumented illegals poured into the country" - so, no, democrats didn't have issue with ICE until it became a masked paramilitary force using gestapo-like tactics to terrorize Americans.

What was your point?

Good grief. It's you again.
Borders. B-O-R-D-E-R-S.
Millions of illegals DID pour into the country. Denying that fact is pure gaslighting.

Do the math. Simple arithmetic. And, the chart is just through 2023. There was a whole other year of illegal immigration.

I like how this chart starts in October 2020 because, hey does anyone remember and event in 2020 that impacted the movement of people?

I used to point this out but there's no point...

The Democrats have maintained that there will be no deal without requiring that ICE agents remove masks and obtain judicial warrants. Republicans are unwilling to budge on that. So, here we are.

+1 And does anyone actually know what was offered? Because Benson at Fox says the deal had “the core of what they’ve been demanding” and Melugin at Fox says the Democrats had a bunch of new demands like unmasking and judicial warrants, which are exactly what the Democrats have wanted all along (and what the rule of law and the Constitution require, btw, not that Republicans care.)

Right. None of those are "new" demands, they were the demands from day one. Republicans are lying, trying to dodge, deflect and pretend that Dems are moving the goalposts when those are the same goalposts they started with.

Rep. Rosa DeLauro, top Dem on the House appropriations panel, says DHS is *choosing* not to pay TSA workers while paying its other employees.

She says:

85% of ICE + CBP are being paid
75% of Secret Service
0% of TSA workers

"The Department made that decision," DeLauro says on the House floor.

And TSA is well aware that the GOP is playing games with their livelihoods to make a political point.
