They should push that.

I think I asked some Democrat late last week, why aren't you pushing that?

Well, we get more leverage for now if it's they're all mixed together.

I think they're overthinking it.

That way they can just say, we're for FEMA, we're for, you know, whatever other stuff, Coast Guard, I guess, and a couple other things, TSA, but we're not for ICE and Border Patrol.

You said quickly in passing, well, of course, the Dems would be against funding that, but that is not their official position.

Their official position, I think, unfortunately, really, is, you know, we have all these restrictions we're going to put out and, you know, and I'm for those restrictions.

They would improve, I guess, ICE and Border Patrol.

Pretty unenforceable.

The Trump administration is pretty good at ignoring congressional restrictions and

They should defund it as much as possible.

Now, someone will say back to me correctly, well, there's already all this funding in the stupid reconciliation bill from last year, so all you're doing is kind of reducing the rate of growth of ICE and the Border Patrol.

But that's important, actually.

And there are other people who will say, well, but this money's for slightly different things than the money in the reconciliation bill.

The less funding for ICE and Border Patrol, the better.

That's my simple-minded view.

They're doing bad things to...

Immigrants, obviously, they're doing bad things to Americans.

They're intimidating citizens.

They're part of the election, 2026 and 2028 election interference plan.
