Democrats, drug dealers, criminal gangs and crooks in general are all calling for the disbandment of ICE, ATF, and various other law enforcement agencies because those agencies enforce laws that criminals and democrats don’t like. The distinction between democrats and crooks is hardly discernable.
What the MSM and democrats fail to point out is that all of those offensive laws were passed with the connivance of those same democrats. In other words, the democrats that oppose the current laws were, at some point, for those same laws. Without their support those laws would never have come into being.
There is a solution democrats fail to mention. It is called Repeal. It has been done before. Here is a list of laws passed by Congress and then subsequently repealed.
- Prohibition: The 18th Amendment (1920) — Want a cold beer to cool off from the summer heat? The 18th Amendment made drinking that beer a crime, mandating a nationwide prohibition on alcohol in 1920. Bootlegging became a major illegal industry in the U.S. and gave rise to gangsters and organized crime. Congress repealed the law with the ratification of the 21st Amendment in 1933.
- Slavery: The Act in Relation to Service (1852) — Slavery may seem morally wrong to most people today, but 1852 was a different story. Slavery was legalized in the Utah Territory by the Act in Relation to Service. However, after one year of bloodshed in the Civil War, Congress passed legislation abolishing slavery in all U.S. territories. After President Abraham Lincoln’s Emancipation Proclamation, Congress passed the 13th Amendment in 1865. The amendment officially repealed the Act in Relation to Service by outlawing slavery and involuntary servitude.
- Speed Limits: National Maximum Speed Law (1974) — High oil prices and supply disruptions during the 1973 oil crisis pushed Congress to pass the National Maximum Speed Law (NMSL), which prohibited speed limits higher than 55 miles per hour throughout the United States.
- Jim Crow laws: The Civil Rights Act (1964) — Martin Luther King Jr. spoke at the March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom in 1963 where an estimated 250,000 people rallied for human rights. One year later, Congress passed the Civil Rights Act of 1964 outlawing major forms of discrimination against African-Americans and women, including racial segregation. The law repealed the black codes and Jim Crow laws which denied blacks rights including the right to vote and the right to testify against whites in court.
- Immigration: The Chinese Exclusion Act (1882) — The California Gold Rush sparked an anti-Chinese sentiment among white miners and prospecters with racial tensions increasing as more and more Chinese moved west and created competition for jobs. Congress passed the Chinese Exclusion Act in 1882 allowing the U.S. to suspend Chinese immigration. The law was intended to last 10 years, but wasn’t repealed until 61 years later when China allied itself with the United States in World War II, in the 1943 Magnuson Act.
The solution to unpopular laws is to repeal them. Defunding or disbanding the agencies charged with enforcement does not solve the problem. The underlying law is still there. I suspect that the democrats don’t want to repeal immigration law. They like it just fine. They want to control when, where and against whom the law is applied.
Here it is 8 USC Sec 1325. Don’t like it? Get rid of it! Crickets! Out of fifty states there are fewer than ten actively agitating against immigration enforcement. In other words, the democrats and the MSM have played up the controversy for their own cynical purposes. In the meantime, fat, stupid dykes get shot for buying off on democrat cynicism.
People can pick and choose which laws they want to follow. However, there is a hook. A bad choice entails sanctions. That used to be understood. Back in the day there was a popular phrase that acknowledged that fact. “If you can’t do the time, don’t do the crime.”
There are anecdotal reports that the significant other of the dead dyke was horrified to learn that the ICE agents were carrying real guns loaded with real bullets. Why not? The dead dyke was using a real vehicle in an attempt to run over a real cop. You can’t make shit like this up.
The image above is something you will never see in Texas. No not the helicopter, the sign. It isn’t that the Texas Department of Public Safety doesn’t have aircraft. The agency maintains a fleet of aircraft. However, the legislature attached a rider to the funding for the DPS aircraft. If DPS uses an aircraft for traffic speed enforcement, the funding for that aircraft is suspended. No funding: no fuel, no maintenance, no pilots, you get the picture. The politicians give with one hand while taking away with the other.
Remember no matter however much you despise democrats…. it’s not enough.
