Lol. You don't actually know this policy position well.

The call has primarily been correlated to a streamlining of the tax code, rendering the IRS mostly pointless.

Whatever dude. You are certainly beating the 'Abolish ICE' *doesnt* mean 'open borders' drum pretty frenetically this morning.

Look Lad, when the article *you* cite presents itself as such when you pull away the thumbnail deep veneer that you choose not to, it seems kind of Trumpish to claim that a major driving force behind the slogan isnt the open-borders crowd.

Your choice on what ill-thought out hill you want to die on I guess.

So tell me just for ***** and giggles. *What* simplification of the immigration policy would make ICE redundant or non-useful or superfluous? One comes immediately to mind. It correlates with all the other 'fun' policies set upon by the left that *are* explicitly anti-enforcement of immigration laws. Funny that.

I'm advocating that "Abolish ICE" isn't as simple as abolishing ICE. That the non-fringe actors have actual policy behind the slogan and that there is more involved than just abolishing the agency.

You may view some of those changes as resulting in "open borders," and that's your prerogative.
