Well just like with War on Drugs is not about winning. It’s about making as much money off of it as you can. Note they didn’t try to address the problems with immigration. They didn’t change the Green Card system. They didn’t expand the number of immigration judges. They didn’t do anything except fund ice and fund more detention centers which are privately run at extremely huge markups.
And prison slavery is illegal. Guess who will be working the farms
The bloated ICE budget isn’t just to wage war against immigrants, it’s also because they realized the military wouldn’t side with them if they tried to seize/retain power. Now they have a massive, well-funded army of racist thugs that answers only to them, sidestepping the Constitution and chain-of-command entirely.
This is like the SS in 1920s germany, right?
It was the SA back then, the brownshirts. But I think the inspiration is more the Rosgvardiya in Russia
The military are actually trained though. There’s no point trying to train these guys they are military rejects.
The US military versus these guys would be more farcical than anything else.
The point is that the military will sit it out since they can’t be deployed domestically
not if the protesters are declared foreign agents/a civil war is declared.
look at the Syrian, Sudanese and Egyptian revolutions
Don’t forget Afghanistan.
At this point, after seeing that new budget, I’m just trying to think of ways to defraud the shit out of ICE. They’re going to be writing checks without even glancing at the PO unless it’s over 10 million
Send their office an invoice for whatever, they’ll probably just pay it.
Make sure to also provide the service. Otherwise you could get in trouble for fraud.
That has to be a market for XXL bulletproof vests. Although it’s the US so that’s probably already a thing.
Right right. But you can’t funnel money out of the system if there isn’t any going into it.
