You really ought to read this. "It’s 2025, almost twenty years after the Border Patrol hiring surge started, and the agency is still trying to claw back to a baseline of misconduct, corruption, and criminality." Am example of where this ICE surge is going to lead.

Medicare for All - "That's socialism!" Social Security - "That's socialism!" Debt free education - "That's socialism!" Universal childcare - "That's socialism!" Billions for Argentina, ICE, refurbishing Trump's Qatar jet, and tax cuts for the rich... "That's just how it is."

“Embrace diversity. Unite- Or be divided, Robbed, Ruled, Killed By those who see you as prey. Embrace diversity Or be destroyed.” -Parable of the Sower Octavia E. Butler, 1993

Pure evil. Hope the ICE agent responsible will receive disciplinary action, but I doubt it. Rest in peace Chop💔 kfoxtv.com/news/local/e...

We feed you. They hunt us.

You can't call immigrants lazy moochers looking for government handouts and then round them up at Home Depots where you know they are looking for work. You can't say immigrants don't follow the rules and then round them up in courthouses where they are following the rules. Get your lies straight.
