Waging War on ICE Wages It on America

For the radical left and others now styling themselves as "immigration rights" advocates, Immigration and Customs Enforcement has become the focus for vicious denunciations, delegitimization and political sabotage. Some elected officials are even calling for its dismantling and an end to the criminalization of illegal entry into the United States.

Largely lost in the unrelenting attacks on ICE, the attendant endangerment of its personnel and the growing interference in their mission is this reality: We will have no rule of law, no sovereignty and ultimately no country if we persist in such self-destructive behavior.

At the very least, undermining those who protect our borders and enforce our immigration laws in the country’s interior ensures that many millions of additional migrants will decide it’s safe to come here illegally.

The war on ICE is a war on America. It’s time to stand with ICE.
