There needs to be some kind of immigration enforcement just to handle the processing of people as they complete the immigration process.
No there doesn’t. We don’t have anything similar like a dedicated anti-immigration police in Canada or in the EU. There are border protection agencies and there are immigration bureaucracies, but this special immigration police thing going on in the US, is not a thing.
Ice is a newish agency formed after 9/11 with the also dystopianly named DHS. It was a product of the time of patriot acts and TSA.
None of them are needed or helpful or going away.
ICE is a law enforcement agency. It’s a police. With a special immigration mandate.
I guess I am not clear what is meant by “handle the processing of people as they complete the immigration process”. In Canada, things like applications and forms are handled by IRCC, the immigration ministry. Other than that, there is CBSA, which is like your CBP, but we don’t have a specialized interior immigration police.

What makes you think “handle the processing of people as they complete the immigration process” had to include anti-immigration police?
I get the feeling you don’t disagree with the parent commenter at all.
