On Millions of Kicks & Lane Picking

"This bill destroys the country! [...] It's about PURGING the rolls!"

"It allows ICE to kick tens of MILLIONS of people off the rolls!"

The above quote is from Chuck Schumer's public pontifications on SAVE as recorded here at  

https://x.com/i/status/2031458602330751470   While some hear him as saying tens of millions, others hear tens of billions.  Either way, it brings up the questions of how and why ICE would be involved in kicking tens of millions or billions of people off the rolls???

Jeff Childers, at Coffee & Covid follows up with the following question and conclusion: "He tried to explain that the real problem with requiring citizenship verification is that it would lead to “purging” the voter rolls using “an algorithm put together by ICE, put together by DOGE and Musk.” Where he got that sinister ICE-DOGE-Musk axis is anybody’s guess. Maybe peyote?

I just want to get this all straight, so I’m not being unfair: Democrats insist non-citizen voting is a myth, a feverish, made-up right-wing conspiracy theory, practically nonexistent. But also, if you clean the rolls, ICE would remove so many ineligible voters that it would “literally destroy the country.” Both of those things can’t be true at the same time, Chuck. Pick a lane."

With the following add-on by Chase Spears, who was a class mate of the Lt. Col from the Command and General Staff College

"He deployed to fight the enemy overseas in combat zones.

Meanwhile, America imported the enemy who k*lled him. When I say this nation's immigration policy is a betrayal, I mean it. Words fail."
