From what I can see, they're a bloated DHS organ that's sucking down massive amounts of tax dollars for what amounts to security theater. You'd think in the $47 billion DHS budget they'd find some money for things like soap and toothbrushes.
$47B to stay in power is a steal.
The number on ICE's website are computed based on an Obama-era change where they can count turning away people at the border as a deportation.
Even if you support their mission There's really nothing defensible ICE. They're sucking down billions while being bad at what they do.
If you are an insane or mentally incapable parent, your kids will be, essentially 'put in a camp'. The US government is doing what it should be.
Identity politics zealots can down-vote, of course, but I fought a decade for my green card - the right way. And every time people who skirt the law are allowed to stay in this country the wrong way it disrespects, belittles and is a slap in the fact to everyone who came here the right way, respectfully waiting even while my own family was living in basically a war zone.
Anyone who comes here illegally to benefit themselves at the expense of the state is an enemy - forget this, or sacrifice this principle, and your progeny will very likely be born into a living hell of a similar kind that those people (god bless them, I'm not heartless - I grew up in it) are trying to run away from. I thought this before I had my green card as well: it's about integrity.
So we aren't going to talk about decades of US destabilization of Central and South America for corporate profit?
I'm not sure if this makes sense. If you're trying to deport someone living as an undocumented immigrant, they're already past the border. ICE explicitly does not work at the border anyway, that's a different agency.
Tell that to my grandma
Does it? How much violence is too much for this? What is the nature of this security and how many deaths is it worth? Or is this just another Vietnam/Iraq endless meat grinder of ill-considered purpose?
That would be great, actually. A mature intelligent solution that helps everyone, which is why it's not going to happen.
Sounds like you have no problem having yourself and your loved ones sitting in a cage with no hygiene considerations, then.
