Rep. James Walkinshaw (D-VA) suggested on CNN that Democratic efforts to reform ICE and CBP may need to be brought to voters in November if Republicans don't agree to the changes. He cited the Affordable Care Act's premium tax credits as a possible model for this strategy.
On Friday’s broadcast of CNN’s “The Arena,” Rep. James Walkinshaw said that the changes to ICE and CBP that Democrats want “might be like the Affordable Care Act premium tax credits, that we have to take it to the voters in November.
” Walkinshaw said, “I think we’ve been very aggressive in pushing for those reforms. Republicans and Stephen Miller at the White House were crystal clear, they want to continue the out-of-control mass deportation agenda. We’re going to continue to fight for that. But I don’t think we should hold our TSA workers, our FEMA workers, our cybersecurity workers hostage because Republicans won’t agree to these commonsense reforms. So, I want to do both, but I’ve said I’ll support a bill that funds the non-ICE and CBP agencies of DHS so we can continue to negotiate, argue, and fight over that. And, look, it might be like the Affordable Care Act premium tax credits, that we have to take it to the voters in November. And I’m confident the voters will be on our side.”Walkinshaw answered, “No. I mean if we don’t get the reforms that we need for ICE and CBP between now and November, we’ll take that issue to the voters.”WATCH: Trump Supporters Clash with Antifa Leftists at 'No Kings' RallyJim Acosta Laughs at 'No Kings' Rally Sign Referencing Trump Dying in OfficTim Walz Vows to ‘Never Leave the Side’ of Somali MinnesotansWATCH: Florida Trump Supporters Clash with Antifa Leftists During ‘No Kings’ Rally Exclusive–RX Border Defense Says Buyer Beware When It Comes to Cheap Chinese Drug Ingredients for Weight LossProsecutor: Two Charged in ‘Largest Alleged Money Laundering Operation’ in Los Angeles School District’s History Tyler Perry Arrives at Atlanta Airport with ‘Significant’ Amount of Cash for TSA Workers, Gets Turned Down
