Please do NOT FUND ICE. DO FUND TSA. Condemn the mass deportation policy. Use all the means at your disposal to rein in ICE and DHS. 1. The GOP must own their refusal to accept the Democratic bill to fund the Coast Guard, FEMA, TSA, but not ICE. 2. Condemn bigotry, racism and xenophobia. Trump has ginned up hatred against immigrants and people with dark skin just the way Hitler fomented hatred of Jews, Roma, and others. Remember that Hitler's holocaust started with WORDS, with REMOVING LEGAL RIGHTS, and with his GESTAPO before the death camps were built. Remember that justice came for Hitler's commandants and enablers. Now consider: THE UNITED STATES IS CURRENTLY HOLDING THREE TIMES MORE PEOPLE IN IMMIGRANT DETENTION CENTERS THAN NAZI GERMANY HAD IN CONCENTRATION CAMPS IN 1939, 6 YEARS INTO THE THIRD REICH. This is morally abominable and in many instances rises to the level of criminal disregard for laws. It is also economic madness. It costs far more to detain a person than to have them working and paying taxes. Except for the fact that private corporations are profiting from detention and concentration camps. Consider also: since 1994, Immigrants have paid more in taxes than they receive in benefits every year. The now struggling American economy requires immigrants -- to harvest our food, to build buildings, to care for the old and the young and the sick. Why are you tolerating policies and spending that go against morality, law, human decency, common sense, and our shared wellbeing ??
