For all the Trump administration’s talk of saving money and increasing “government efficiency,” the president demanded that huge amounts be appropriated in the Republicans’ recent budget bill to fund his mass-deportation program.
In all, $170 billion was set aside to be spent over the next four years for border and immigration enforcement. This total includes $45 billion to create a sprawling detention system (nearly five times the annual budget for the Bureau of Prisons), $30 billion for ICE operations, $46.6 billion for more border wall construction, and, as if that weren’t enough, a new $10 billion border patrol slush fund.
This level of funding is unprecedented. ICE is now the highest-funded law enforcement agency in the country. And that fact raises a question: What exactly are they going to do with all that money?
We heard from that recording, $10k per arrest/deport.
Honestly if I have no other ways to feed myself and family, I will take it.
Keep up that enthusiasm. I’m sure it’ll look great when you explain that you did it for the money when you’re on trial for crimes against humanity.
When sanity was restored, we hanged the Nazis. Don’t think ICE will be any different when the Trump regime falls. “Just following orders” or “I needed to feed my family” are not valid excuses.
I will try stay out of poverty personally, but I doubt trump era may end any time soon. USA economy will only get worse, which makes voters even more xenophobic, and law and democracy are fading fast too.
Found the fascist.
Oh so you’re a piece of shit. Got it. Thank for giving us all a headsup, I guess.
Sure, just don’t be shocked if your victim decides “If the only way to defend my family is to blow this fed’s head off with a shotgun, I’ll take it.”
Probably doesn’t end well for that person, but you’ll still be dead and distinctly not supporting your family anymore. Hopefully the conservative gofundme can tide them over.
Where can we gofundme the guy with the shotgun?
Honestly, I’d do that for fun if the opportunity presented itself.
I’m sorry I would die that way, better keep finding other ways to live I guess. But I’m even sorrier that a few cases like that will probably feed DJT the third term.
If anyone sees Nazis getting killed and thinks “those poor Nazis!! They have families!” They’re a shit person. Genuinely all Nazis can kill themselves today, thanks.
If that makes you want to vote for trump ANY more than you do now, you can also kill yourself.
You are describing half of Americans. And I agree with you.
You literally just said you would sign up to be a nazi…
It’s more ike ~30%.
If you agreed, then you’re saying that you would kill yourself.
Yes. If I fall into extreme poverty and decide to become a nazi, I should seriously consider end my own life.
Btw it’s more than 50%, folks can but didn’t vote is no better IMO.
“If I have no others way to […] I would totally work in the Auschwitz showers”.
Since we’re this low on morality I’m sure you can also get a job in the Russian military or in the IDF. Who wouldn’t mind stomping on some babies as long as you get some minor checks?
As, eh, someone living in Russia - comparisons of the Russian military with the IDF are at this point unjust. It fights a war of aggression, and it does that the Soviet way, which is imprecise and costly in lives of civilians. But it doesn’t intentionally starve a whole city, shooting at those coming for aid it pretends to provide and intent on “deporting” them entirely.
Just to make it clear, the whole situation sucks, and there is a right and a wrong side, but not comparable with Gaza.
Oh no, I agree. There is no more evil entity than the IDF and Israel and it’s not even close. USA would come in second… The reason I chose Russia - other than being of the conviction that it’s 100% a war of aggression started by Putin to stay in power - is the story of that American dad who joined the Russian army to “escape wokeness” and has now deservedly died.
Times are tough, but that doesn’t excuse becoming a fascist’s foot soldier. Join a union, organise, protest, fight for a better life, become politically active. You still have the pretence of democracy in America, use it.

Well said. You are a very kind person.
good thing you and the people who did sign up have other options.
you use the word did, I have to clarify I haven’t done nothing so far. 🤷♀️
Funny fact about a cage, they’re never built for just one group. So when that cage is done with them and you’re still poor, it come for you.
