Many Democrats have also recently called for the abolition of the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency, dead-set in opposition to President Donald Trump’s efforts to crack down on illegal immigration and secure the nation from criminal illegal aliens.
But what happens when those two issues — strict gun control versus strict immigration control — come into conflict? As it turns out, Democrats seem to prefer to side with illegal immigrants and oppose ICE over strengthening the gun control laws they themselves have proposed — laws that would alert certain authorities when an individual fails a background check for an attempted purchase of a firearm.
Republican Florida Rep. Matt Gaetz tweeted on Wednesday, “Democrats in the Judiciary Committee just voted against notifying ICE when an illegal alien fails a background check to buy a gun. They hate ICE so much that they’d keep ICE in the dark when illegals try to get guns!”
The bill is a purported “bipartisan” effort to strengthen and expand background checks for gun purchases, and Steube’s amendment borrowed the language from a Democratic proposal known as the “Unlawful Gun Buyer Alert Act” — yet the Democrats who’d supported that proposal just voted against the amendment that would do the same thing, only also including illegal aliens and ICE.

Really not sure how / why an illegal would attempt to Legally purchase a Firearm, but read lines 23 & 24
