Immigration Deform: There’s no way out but independent, with nearly 80 million (45%) independent voters

YouGov plc is an international Internet-based market research and data analytics firm headquartered in the UK with operations in Europe, North America, the Middle East, and Asia–Pacific.

Great news! The Trump Administration has botched our immigration policy with politics so egregiously, they may have managed to convince 46%* of Americans to support abolishing ICE. And you thought that was just the leftists, right? This is what we mean by "immigration deform." (The February Quinnipiac poll has 51% support for cutting funding for ICE.)

A decision about DHS and ICE funding by Congress is due -- appropriately -- on Friday, February 13.

Therefore, we at LIV, the country's only voter association for independent (no party) voters, urge you to take immediate action by contacting your members of Congress.

You can also vote in the midterm election. Here in Texas, the major party primaries are set for March 4.

The Democrats have put forth their demands for reforms supported by a strong majority of the American people, such as unmasking immigration agents, requiring them to display an ID and use body cameras. Yet, there was immediate pushback from Republicans. (See Scripps article HERE.)

Don't let the Dems off either, folks. Here's what both parties aren't telling us.

Remember, Ross Perot warned us in 1992 about not dealing with the $4T debt.

The debt crisis is here. America has a $38T debt and all the world is talking about it, while most Democrats and Republicans hide their heads in the sand.

In the so-called Big Beautiful Bill (aka the Big Budget Buster), the Congress and the President whacked us taxpayers with a $75 billion price tag for ICE, the lion's share of the DHS budget over four years. But guess what happens if there's a lapse in appropriations for DHS?

Other DHS components like FEMA, TSA, and the Coast Guard would be forced to shut down or work without pay, but not ICE! See Venice AI with references on the staggering DHS budget HERE.

What We Can Do. Now do it!

In THIS FOX News piece, you see a very narrow vote (by just 217 to 214) in the Republican-dominated U.S. House to move forward with funding the government, but putting DHS funding on hold until Feb. 13.

Contact your member of the U.S. House of Representatives and your U.S. Senators today before the February 13th deadline for Congressional action on DHS funding: Tell them you're an independent voter. Tell them to cut the politics and the budget busting driving immigration deform. As for abolishing, defunding or reforming ICE -- you decide -- though you might read these proposals by a variety of organizations we asked of Venice AI, -- see list HERE.

We found THIS NPR overview on the DHS funding illuminating.

Have we convinced you there's no way out but independent?
