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.
Ain’t no possibility of this going sideways is there? I’m slightly relieved that they’ll hire any goon with pulse and not have a well trained & disciplined army with an allegiance to an order. Just a bunch temu brand , god army believers with their wal mart issue tactical gear and that’s after a nap because that Waffle House meal is so good. Christian Nationalism needs a serious curb stomping. That is metaphor by the way. I’d never dirty my shoes with that foul faux Christian blood. Ewww.
