It is a major pita at airports, but given our current dysfunctional agency (ICE), we don't dare give them funding. Even if that affects other agencies. They view themselves as above the law and the Constitution (their new agents are being told that explicitly).
Sure, ICE need to be reined in. But calling for "defunding" is almost as silly as calling for defunding of the police. And will play about as well with political moderates.
I absolutely hate government shutdowns, though. Hated it when Republicans did it over Obamacare. Hate it now Democrats keep doing it. Refusing to pay people's salaries is immoral, in my opinion. Democrats are screwing up, yet again. They'll cave like last time.
Come the elections in May I will finally be able to remove "Democrat" from my voting registration. I'll likely always vote Dem, but I do not want to be publicly associated with this current bunch of gas-lighting clowns.
