Now, I have a question.

Why are illegal immigrants at polling sites?

I mean, if ICE is there, like if ICE shows up at a polling site and I show up at a polling site, I'm not worried about ICE because I'm not an illegal immigrant.

It seems to me that actually making sure illegal immigrants do not show up at polling sites is not a horrible use of ICE, actually.

Anyway, here is House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries saying we must withdraw taxpayer funding from the DHS.

Why?

I'm just at why I don't even understand that one.

I sort of get schools because the idea is that you have a lot of kids of illegal immigrants who are going to schools.

And so you don't want them to have to worry about mom and dad getting pulled out of line and then and then thrown out of the country.

I kind of get it like on a humanitarian level.

The polling sites I really don't get.

In any case, the partial DHS shutdown has had the effect not just of defunding ICE, but defunding, of course, the TSA, Transportation Security Administration.

This has led to these gigantic lines around the country at airports.

In response, the administration has said that they will deploy ICE officers to man the TSA lines because, you see, ICE actually has some leftover funding from the last round of funding.

Here is Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy explaining on Sunday.

Now, the Democrats are saying that deploying ICE to help out.

And again, it's not going to be ICE that's actually scanning your items that go through the machine.

It's ICE that's facilitating the movement of the lines.

You know how when you go to the airport, there are members of TSA who are directing you which way to go.

ICE can do that, too, and they won't be masked at the time.
