Putting I.C.E. On Ice

THE IMMIGRATION AND CUSTOMS ENFORCEMENT AGENCY (I.C.E.) was founded in 2003 in the wake of the Great American Terrified of Terrorism (GATT) epidemic. This fear of an almost non existent threat precipitated the various Wars of Oil and American Aggression (WOAA), and presaged Trumpian Republican Authoritarian Mob Psychology (TRAMP). I.C.E., in its current behavior, fits in perfectly with America's xenophobic right wing racist Hitleresque agenda. Conservatives, who normally stridently espouse limited government, especially when government seeks to assist the working poor and various minorities, miraculously transubstantiates, like wafers and wine into bod and blood, into big government expellers of refugees, refugees from poverty, who are seeking opportunity and hope. All immigrants are ultimately refugees, refugees from poverty, seeking aforementioned opportunity and hope. Conservative Republican American Christian Klansmen Encouraging Refugee Removal (CRACKERR), seem quite concerned with legalities, but not with opportunity, hope, nor with welcoming the proverbial stranger. A growing movement among bleeding heart liberal limited government types seek to put I.C.E. on ice, just as surely as the refugee dies parched in the Arizona desert, just as surely as the African-american teenaged boy lies chilled in the morgue, his body riddled with official law enforcement bullets. The agency is redundant, its functions already being implemented by other organizations, and, under Trump and his mob,= is neo-NAZI-like, but could be reformed, rather than abandoned, which might placate big government republican conservative types. Eisenhower gave the jack boot to one million Mexicans, Obama chipped in with two point five million deportees this credit, and who knows the lofty numbers to which don the don can spire, with or without I.C.E.? Only Ronald Reagan had the good sense to grant immunity to the illegal downtrodden, in a rare fit of inexplicable compassion. sometimes the old blind squirrel finds an acorn, as the country folk say.One rare but good G.O.P. deed deserves another; may the great prevaricator find it within his toupee the uncharacteristic impulse to emulate the rare republican fit of compassion of the great communicator.
