I’m sorry to say that all these machinations are in aid of not being seen as “soft” on immigration so as to win the elections. It’s a calculation for them - and I’m talking about the leadership and maybe some others. Morality plays a small role and that’s the sad truth. Because we have such a poor leader and communicator in Schumer, an alternative for ICE isn’t being offered to the public.
