The virtue signaling of Democratic politicians in the ivory towers of San Francisco and Washington D.C. may seem like mere words to them, but calls to abolish ICE and the five-month-long obstruction between when President Trump called a national emergency and when he finally received funding has had severe consequences for immigration enforcement.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/sandiegonewsdesk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/Border-Wall.jpg\" width=\"394\" height=\"236\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As a result of this crisis, even the immigrants are worse off.
