OUCH: Bill Melugin Shows Just How STUPID Abdul El-Sayed REALLY IS Simply by Explaining INS vs ICE

Bill Melugin is dismantling Abdul El-Sayed’s and his latest moronic pitch to abolish ICE and resurrect the old Immigration and Naturalization Service, noting that the post-9/11 breakup of INS into separate agencies under DHS was done precisely because one shop handling applications, border security, and deportations had become a national-security liability — and that the enforcement and removal functions El-Sayed claims to miss were already part of INS’s job.

In other words, the candidate’s big idea amounts to swapping one enforcement agency for… the same enforcement agency under a different name.

Hey, he's a Democrat. What can we say?

Take a look at this:

El-Sayed has implied multiple times now that ICE should be abolished and replaced with INS (Immigration and Naturalization Service) which was split up by Congress after 9/11 because they felt one agency handling immigration applications, border security, and deportations was too… https://t.co/MaIiqxKquT

Post continues:

... much on its plate and detrimental to national security.As a result, CBP (border security), ICE (interior enforcement/deportations), and USCIS (naturalization/asylum etc) now operate as separate agencies under the same DHS umbrella.But INS was still conducting immigration enforcement and deportations.
So this would essentially be replacing ICE with....ICE.

Yeah, that's not just being uninformed.

That's being STUPID.

And boy howdy, El-Sayed is definitely not the brightest crayon in the box.

We also didn’t have a useless President who let in 20 million illegal aliens when it was INS, so to compare, is pointless.

We have more illegal aliens because presidents, most recently Biden, did not protect the border. it's as simple as that. The president has the sole authority to enforce the laws when it comes to illegal immigration.
