The move became necessary after Schumer refused to fund the agencies through traditional means.<\/p>\n<p>The senator argued that the funding should have been tied to reforms and called ICE and CBP \u201clawless\u201d agencies that need oversight.<\/p>\n<p>\u201c<strong>America is crying out for relief from high costs, and you\u2019re here adding $140 billion to an agency\u2014two groups\u2014Border Patrol and ICE, that nobody respects in this countr<\/strong>y,\u201d Schumer declared.<\/p>\n<p>Schumer\u2019s $140 billion figure combines the newly advanced $70 billion funding plan with additional funds previously allocated to ICE and Border Patrol under prior Republican legislation.<\/p>\n<p>The reprehensible comments drew immediate condemnation from top Republicans.<\/p>\n<p>President Donald Trump demanded an immediate apology, calling the statement \u201cone of the most egregious, incorrect, unpatriotic, and dangerous\u201d ever made by a politician.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWow!
