Dem TX Rep wants to abolish ICE… for doing its job hotair.com/archives/karen…
It’s becoming clear that Rep. Garcia is using the method of choice for political opportunists – identity politics.
In 1998 (the Clinton era) he Roland Gramajo ordered to be deported. His appeal was denied in 2001 (the G.W. Bush era) and he was deported in 2004 after he was stopped for a traffic violation.
In 2004, he and his wife had two children. A few months after deportation, Gramajo again entered the country and border patrol agents didn’t stop him. Gramajo picked his life back up. He opened a business as a notary, paralegal, and community advocate.
Let that sink in – he was working within the legal community. He often worked for a local attorney, according to his wife, and was working for him in a downtown courthouse just last week. He clearly wasn’t one who is a part of those who live in fear in the shadows.
He was living the American Dream, illegally.
Gramajo’s trouble was of his own making. He was asked to organize a community forum to calm fears of those concerned about possible immigration law enforcement actions. The bad Orange Man has frightened illegal aliens, you see.

Gramajo was given a lot of time to make his legal status right. He didn’t. He put his family’s security in jeopardy by his own actions. He was deported once and the border patrol agents turned a blind eye when he returned.
His immigration status was known to his community and yet the Mayor of Houston held him up as a hero. None of this is the fault of ICE.
Rep. Garcia and those in her party calling for the abolition of ICE by using stories that tug at the hearts of regular Americans are the worst kinds of deceptive politicians. It’s a slap in the face to those doing their jobs securing our borders.
Making an example of such a high profile offender sends a message. We can no longer sit out the debate over legal immigration and the laws that govern it.
