Rep. Delia Ramirez Introduces Legislation to Replace DHS With the ‘Department of Community Safety’

Rep. Delia Ramirez is the self-proclaimed "proud anchor baby" who told Netroots Nation that ICE is a terrorist organization and declared the SAVE America Act "racist, misogynistic trash" supported by white supremacists. This week, she introduced her Reimagining Safety Act, which would abolish ICE and Customs and Border Protection and reinvest the money in a newly established Department of Community Safety.

NEW: Rep. Delia Ramirez (D-IL) has just introduced her new legislation that would completely dismantle DHS, abolish ICE, and replace it with the “Department of Community Safety”. The bill would also abolish CBP, which means getting rid of Border Patrol & customs officers at ports of entry at land borders, airports, and sea ports. This would result in completely open borders with no federal agency left to screen or detain people coming into the country both legally and illegally. Details on the “Reimagining Safety Act” from Rep. Ramirez’s press release:

The post continues:

… of entry at land borders, airports, and sea ports. This would result in completely open borders with no federal agency left to screen or detain people coming into the country both legally and illegally.

Ramirez's press release reads:

"Every person dead in detention, shot or killed by ICE and CBP, every neighbor deported to a third country, every family separated, every community FEMA failed, every miscarriage due to substandard care, every dissenter wrongfully branded, targeted, and persecuted as ‘terrorist,’ and every threat against our elections by Trump, Markwayne, and Miller is a reason DHS must be dismantled and something new must take its place. There are more than a million reasons to take action today.”

There are more than 10 million reasons not to abolish ICE, owing just to the Biden administration's open border.

A reminder, an overwhelming amount of the drugs & fentanyl smuggled into the U.S. come into the country via vehicles at ports of entry with Mexico. Ramirez wants to eliminate the agency responsible for screening those vehicles & seizing the narcotics. (CBP). Total free for all.

@BillMelugin_ They should call it the "Death To America" act. Bc that's what it is.

@BillMelugin_ This just continues to show us the midterms aren’t just about who controls Congress. They’re about who enforces federal law. Rep. Ramirez wants to abolish ICE and CBP. So who would execute deportation orders and investigate smugglers? Renaming government isn’t a security plan.

@BillMelugin_ Vote like your life depends on it, because it does.

@BillMelugin_ @SpeakerJohnson should have moved to expel this bitch the moment she publicly announced her higher allegiance to Guatemala than the United States.

Last year, Ramirez famously spoke at a summit in Mexico City, where she told the audience in Spanish: "I'm a proud Guatemalan before I'm an American."

@BillMelugin_ Another reminder why we must end anchor babies illegal birth citizenship scam in this country.

@BillMelugin_ When you let a literal anchor baby get elected this is what happens.

@BillMelugin_ @dfrwca Translating her verbal mumbo jumbo into comprehensible language: let’s get rid of all law enforcement and turn our country into the worlds largest Holiday Inn. Result: millions of new Democrat voters and the destruction of our society. Vote red if you want to prevent this.

@BillMelugin_ Typical woke insanity. "Invest in the community." She has no idea what that means.

@BillMelugin_ A "Department of Community Safety" to replace DHS. Renaming border security does not make the cartels disappear. This is the Democrat platform now.

@BillMelugin_ @MZHemingway In other words without stating the bill's outcome if it became law: dismantle the border completely.

@BillMelugin_ I don't care how ineffective and retarded many establishment GOP politicians are, I'm not dumb enough to vote for the communist party that wants to completely dismantle the borders of my home and replace me with third worlders who will destroy my nation.

@BillMelugin_ Replacing Border Patrol with a Department of Community Safety is like replacing a defensive line with Walmart greeters. Very friendly, very welcoming, and nobody gets tackled.

@BillMelugin_ Reimagining safety by eliminating safety. Another brilliant leftist plan. These people are so stupid it hurts.

If the Supreme Court were as beholden to President Donald Trump as the Left says it is, we could tackle the problem of anchor babies finding their way into positions of power.
