Has ICE considered just lying about their numbers? It's not like anything this administration is doing has any basis in reality anyway.
If I was working for Trump I would be lying my ass off while looking for another job. However it could be argued that staying and lying to him might be good for America.
I imagine these people in ICE have their dream jobs, they’re just not getting as much done as they want Those nuclear weapons inspectors who were fired, on the other hand, yeah
Or even better .... they are fudging their numbers but still can't raise their stats high enough
They almost certainly are.
Gop? Lying? Just out in the open? So blatantly? No! Say it ain't so!
They'll just start deporting random Americans to random countries.
That sounds like a lottery, and some people might be sent to a Scandinavian country, basically winning the lottery.
My great-great-great grandfather came over from Germany in 1870. I'm not sure he did it legally so I volunteer to go back
I dont have anything thst recent sadly, latest ancestor came over in the 1820s second most recent was the 1620s oldest was the 1540s. My ancestors damned me with their early arrival.
I did find out we're direct descendants of Myles Standish, which i thought was pretty cool. Then I was told there's about 5 million of us
Hhey at least your ancestors weren't idiots who seemed to be destined to half exterminate themselves. Nearly 500 years and probably a thousand of us total from what I can put together, records reflect this lots of young men and women dying in their teens and 20s.
The way things were back then, we're probably related. What's up Cuz?
Weirdly enough possibly not from that branch, they were still bitter about the Normans taking the Ulster throne from them English expansion into Ireland didnt help. They wouldve probably murdered an Englishman in cold blood if they had to interact with them. Most of their supplies went through Spanish sources organized by the Jesuits whose mission they were... Mercs? Guards? Designated assholes? Dont know what youd call them, point is the first Englishman that they married was about 80 years ago.
Pro-tip: Report yourself to ICE as a [insert country you want to live in], and you live there now!
This is scary because ICE will have incentive to just deport anyone in order to hit a quota.
Hmmm, maybe the issue isn't as bad as they made it out to be.
I never really questioned the estimates on undocumented immigrant numbers that are floating around, but what's the actual source on those?
The real number is 11 to 12 million, according to Pew; GOP was doubling that in their lies. Real research also suggests the criminal rate is lower than US average, but again, GOP inflates that number by magnitudes.
That said, when called out, they just say "illegally entering makes you a criminal". They're also arguing legal immigration is illegal (e.g. those granted asylum) so their numbers will naturally be higher under that incorrect definition.
Don’t answer your door (or your phone) ever, for anyone you don’t know.
GENOCIDE HARDER!! — MAGAts.
This is just so fucking stupid. I wonder if donvict is more worried about it for the racism or just to show to the racists in his base...
