The agency responsible for carrying out Donald Trump’s mass deportations is launching a recruiting campaign to entice “brave and heroic Americans” to serve as new deportation officers, lawyers and investigators as the government gears up for a major expansion of immigration enforcement thanks to a recent infusion of money from Congress. The icing on the cake: a promise of up to $50,000 in signing bonuses.
The US Immigration and Customs Enforcement campaign, which rolled out late Tuesday, recalls recruiting posters from the second world war with images of Uncle Sam and the words “AMERICA NEEDS YOU.” There also are photos of the US president and top homeland security officials with the words “DEFEND THE HOMELAND” across the images.
In addition to appealing to prospective applicants’ patriotic fervor, homeland security is making a pocketbook pitch. The agency is promising up to $50,000 in signing bonuses, the potential for lots of overtime for deportation officers and other benefits such as loan repayment or forgiveness options.
I have been out of work for two years. There’s a ton of us. This is a plot to get guys like me to jump at the money and sell our souls.
I’ll keep my soul. I need that more than ever with that illegitimate administration. They can stuff their jobs.
The Nazi party of Germany did it. Even alleviated men of their child support responsibilities.
These guys are making as much or more than I do. They got a giant ass budget for nothing that currently exists. They know what they are doing. They’re probably hoping to recruit a lot of former military.
After this, the Nazi party pretty much mandated that professional positions required party membership. Plenty of professors, for instance, refused, and received cuts in pay and demotions. I like to believe those policies indirectly helped the Allies win by slowing the various weapon programs.
Never count out sabotage. Especially if they’re stupid and the 50k is awarded at signing or with the e first check.
Those bonuses come with terms that require repayment to prevent that.
Yes usually. But these people are both stupid and corrupt. Someone should make sure. For science… And the ammusment of others.
