'Abolish ICE' isn't about open borders (opinion) - CNN - CNN.com 2 hours ago - But Trump's claim that Democrats want "open borders," like so much of what Trump says, is a lie intended to mislead the American people. What Trump is trying to do is to manipulate people into believing that ICE is charged with policing our border crossings. It's not. That's the job of the United States Customs and Border Protection (CBP.) As explained on the federal government's own website, CBP "is responsible for protecting our nation's borders in order to prevent terrorists and terrorist weapons from entering the United States, while facilitating the flow of legitimate trade and travel."... ....This is what Democrats mean when they say "Abolish ICE." It's not open borders as Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-NY) made clear in a recent tweet pushing back on Trump's lie: "Open borders, @realDonaldTrump? The bipartisan immigration bill I authored had $40 billion for border security and would have been far more effective than the wall.

Democrats had A filibuster proof majority during 2009 and 2010. Their actions on immigration during that time shows their open borders ambitions. Once on US soil, let them stay and give them US citizenship.
