She said that there has been a militarization of areas near the border as well.<\/p>\n<p>As <a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/politics\/tlaib-defunding-ice-cbp-dhs-terrorize-migrants\">reported<\/a> by Fox News, \u201cTlaib was asked about the push by the&nbsp;Biden administration to increase money spent on border technology for Customs and Border Protection (CBP). The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) border request includes $665 million in investments toward modernizing land ports of entry and $47 million to invest in detection capabilities in addition to investments in border surveillance technology.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Tlaib was asked about what can be done in order to make sure that even Democrats don\u2019t embrace new technologies that have been allegedly marketed a<i>s<\/i> a \u201csmart\u201d alternative to \u201cTrump\u2019s wall.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\">\u201cLook, the simple answer to that question is we must eliminate funding for [Customs and Border Protection], [Immigration and Customs Enforcement] and their parent organization, [Department of Homeland Security],\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\">\u201cTime after time we have seen it as advocates on the ground, as human services agencies on the ground to continue to see over and over again, that these agencies are inept to humanely guiding migrants through our immigration system and\u2026 instead they further continue to terrorize migrant communities located within our communities,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\">\u201cThis approach is something that many of, especially the new members of Congress, are coming with full force and pushing back against this idea,\u201d Tlaib said. \u201cThey rename this kind of militarization or targeting in a very inhumane way of our immigrant neighbors, but when it comes down to it it is the same thing \u2013 which is targeting communities of color in a way that is, to me, very much violates human rights and dignity for so many of our communities.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\">She said that it is a \u201cmyth\u201d that \u201cmore advanced technology will inherently make our border more safe and secure.\u201d She added that instead, the new technology has \u201cturned and terrorized\u201d some communities and made them less safe and \u201cfearful of our own government.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\">\u201cThis is a distraction to what is really needed, which is full comprehensive immigration reform policies in our country. We are far from even getting to that conversation because people are distracted with these for-profit, corporate greed approaches that are coming to experiment on our immigrants and at our border,\u201d she added. \u201cAnd I say \u2018enough.\u2019 Enough in trying to collect DNA or put facial recognition technology that doesn\u2019t recognize brown and black faces, it\u2019s racism itself.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\">\u201cStop telling the communities that you\u2019re supposed to keep safe that this is the way to be safe in our communities,\u201d she added. \u201c\u2026If anything, they\u2019re turning around and using the same criminalization and militarization on our own neighbors. And I tell this to my residents who say, \u2018I\u2019m a U.S. citizen, I was born here.\u2019 I say, \u2018Just wait. Wait, sis, because they will turn and ask you for your documentation\u2026\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\">\u201cWhatever they call it, all I know is it is a money-making scheme and they\u2019re using our immigrant neighbors and our border as an experiment project,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\">Instead of focusing more on ways to reform the current immigration system, Tlaib once again doubled down on criticism of the immigration agencies tasked with keeping U.S. citizens safe.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\">The border crisis has grown under the Biden administration, creating a situation that border states such as Texas have struggled to keep under control. Ohio became the most recent state to announce it would be sending National Guard troops to the border this year after Arizona Governor Doug Ducey (R) and Texas Governor Greg Abbott (R) sent a <a href=\"https:\/\/azgovernor.gov\/sites\/default\/files\/abbott-ducey_compact_letter_to_governors.pdf\"><span class=\"s1\">letter<\/span><\/a> to all 50 governors asking that they send \u201call available law-enforcement resources to the border in defense of our sovereignty and territorial integrity.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\">As <a href=\"https:\/\/www.forbes.com\/sites\/andrewsolender\/2021\/07\/05\/ohio-to-send-highway-patrol-to-us-mexico-border-here-are-all-the-states-sending-troops\/?sh=4ff62733766f\"><span class=\"s1\">reported<\/span><\/a> by Forbes, \u201c180,034\u2026migrants were intercepted by law enforcement along the U.S.-Mexico border in May, according to&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbp.gov\/newsroom\/national-media-release\/cbp-announces-may-2021-operational-update\"><span class=\"s2\">figures<\/span><\/a>&nbsp;released by U.S. Customs and Border Patrol, up slightly from April but still representing a 20-year high.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><i><span>The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies and counter-cultural outlets for news, opinion, and entertainment.
