Because ICE is going to be the paramilitary the feds control until they can seize control of the actual military.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

Congress Throws More Money at Removing Immigrants than Most Countries Spend on Their Armies
(talkingpointsmemo.com)
Exactly! This is the focus the media should be talking about right now. This is how he gets his brown shirts. The amount of money thrown at this is insane…people have to realize at some point that it’s a much higher sum of money than anything needed for immigration enforcement.
That’s because it is the army that they intend to use against their own people.
Conservatism has to be a disorder of some sort.
Conservatism is about slowing change. Change causes fear in those who are not adequately prepared to meet it. This is a symptom of someone who is mentally unhealthy. The level of fear is proportionate to the overall level of mental health.
All that to say: I think those with disorders are more likely to be conservative, but to a certain level conservatism is healthy.
MAGA on the other hand? That deserves to be seen as a disorder, imo.
This isn't even conservatism. It's regressive. They aren't conserving anything, just trying to take everyone back to robber barons and Nazis.
It should simply be called Trump Derangement Syndrome. They were projecting that one too.
Trump has managed to bypass the Constitution, by making his very own domestic military force.
Removing immigrants, whether illegal or not, they don't care, is just the first step. Just like Hitler, Trump starts off slowly.
Soon they will be "removing" anyone disagreeing with Führer Trump. Even aligator Auschwitz is already built to deal with the dissenters and critics.
It's not for removing immigrants.
I hope as many republicans show up to apply for ICE jobs as show up to pick the vegetables.
I said this in a different thread but it bears repeating: We will all soon become slaves in this dark empire. The corpo scum will own us.
Brown people won't suffer without a little old school MAGA love.
Is no one going to tell them that ICE is already in the name?
I'm all for these pigfuckers sporting <po-lees'ehs> on their nazi gear like the illiterate assclowns they are, but... I mean... After all the dumbing-down-is-uber-patriotic they've be up to... How'd they miss that, of all things?
at least that money won't go into bombing Gaza children
No we're still doing that
