    Democratic lawmakers let their opposition be known Tuesday to President Trump’s plan to open an office aimed at helping the victims of crimes committed by immigrants.

    Democrats groaned loudly when Trump announced the creation of Victims of Immigration Crime Engagement (VOICE), an office which will fall under the purview of the Department of Homeland Security.

    “I have ordered the Department of Homeland Security to create an office to serve American Victims. The office is called VOICE –- Victims Of Immigration Crime Engagement. We are providing a voice to those who have been ignored by our media, and silenced by special interests,” said Trump.

    A chorus of groans rippled through the audience at the joint session of Congress.

    Rightly groaned. It is not "VOIICE" (Victims of Illegal Immigration Crime Engagement).

    Agreed.
    One is either victim of a crime or not. Adding "immigrant" is essentially creating a special police force to monitor immigrant activity.
    Nearly everyone of us has an immigrants past. Would we have advocated for our grandfather's to be monitored at a deeper level than someone who traced their lineage to Plymouth Rock?

    I know that it is a stretch, but that was my first thought when I heard it.

    My second thought was that by omitting the "Illegal" bit from the name, he may have legitimized anti-immigrant sentiment in some people's minds.

    Overall, I think that it was a bad move to announce it.

    I think they just didn't put the extra i in the acronym so they wouldn't mess it up, but this is what you get when you twist up words, a lack of clarity and confusion. You could say that there is no such thing as an "illegal immigrant" if you assume "immigrant" implies legal. The left in particular is responsible for blurring the line between an immigrant and an illegal alien.

    VOICE is going to take all of the resources out of programs like these:

    http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2014/sep/30/feds-spend-9-million-lawyers-kid-illegals/
    http://www.breitbart.com/big-govern...mmigrants-feedback-hotlines-for-exec-amnesty/
    http://www.judicialwatch.org/blog/2...ffice-still-open-featured-ice-employee-event/

    and "safe zones":

    https://www.cbp.gov/border-security/sensitive-locations-faqs

    and put them into VOICE.

    Right. So why is there a "rape crisis center" but not a pickpocket crisis center? A "mothers against driving drunk" but not fathers against golddigging whores?

    Including Obama "haters"...

    I put the word in quotes because I think that it is stupid to use the word to describe people who disagree with someone. (RD, this is not aimed at you personally but is meant in general.)

    They refuse to understand that we can allow for immigration for law abiders, but not criminals! It is perverse when illegal aliens committing crime have more rights than american citizens!

    ...do it. I need it explained from you because of your blanket statement, "One is either victim of a crime or not."

    SO, YOUR HATRED OF TRUMP MAY OR MAY NOT BE REAL HATE? In truth it may just be, retaliation???

    What did Jesus say to do to the who slap your face? I believe He said to let them them slap the other. I'll bet dollars to.donuts, that He is unhappy with you for your doind unto others as they did unto yooum!!!!
