    Cool. Just my very normal paramilitary national police agency recruiting armed militants to operate without oversight in an ethnic conflict.

        Not that this is the only thing that should matter, but these are the kind of people who can only be a net benefit to the country. Have you seen how hard most immigrants work? Especially Hispanic immigrants. Much fucking respect. They can only build the country up

          That's why they need to be forced to enter illegally. Citizens have rights, "illegal aliens" can be threatened to work without pay

            Also, "illegal aliens" are much more easy to utilize as scabs and to drive wages down for all workers, while legalization and reduction of ICE presence would allow both documented and undocumented workers to have more ease in bargaining and pursuing collective bargaining.

              Most of these immigrants would gladly join unions if the state would just fucking legalize them. Most of them have done far more good for society than the spoiled failsons some of these reactionary congressmen have at home gaming.

                Immigrants love being illegal, they love to have limited access to social services, they love having basically zero bargaining power, getting threatened with ICE calls if they ever complain about stuff like wage theft.

                It's why neolibs like Friedman will outright say it's better when immigrants are illegal. Had to go recheck to make sure, and the first post is a medium article going, "no you xenophobes, you see listen to Milton Friedman's explanation, it's only good when it's illegal, because otherwise government intervention." Just saying the quiet part loud, you uhh love to see it.

      Where are we going to get the money to house those children, huh? From not bombing Syrian children? From a minor tax adjustment? From the development budget of a weapons platform that doesn't work for a war we'll lose?

      There are so many other things that we could not pay for right now. What about the healthcare system? Do you even know what's happening in Flint and why it still doesn't matter? I don't.

    Would be a shame if a bunch of people volunteered and then no-showed so ICE vastly overestimates their capacity to operate and is spread way to thin to be effective anywhere

    The horrifying part is plenty of chuds in Arizona will gladly volunteer for this kind of shit.

        I imagine photographing everyone who walks into the signup office and sending their mug to local antifa could make their lives easier.
