US immigration budget now bigger than most of the world's militaries

We should quit paying our taxes

That means this is their new military.

Pretty clever if you think if it. They don't try to convince their current one but build one up besides them while starving them of their resources.

There's no way they need all those people and resources if they're only going after illegal immigrants. They're going to start disappearing their other targets too. People of Colour, Democrats, LGBTQ, scientists. Get in line. I hope you're ready for what we know is coming.

First they came for the immigrants...

Is anyone still pretending ICE is about immigration? ICE is Trump's SS, and they just got funding beyond any dictator's wildest dreams. Good luck with your totalitarian police state.

Edit: I want to retract my last sentence. It was callous and stupid. My heart aches for the people who fought against this.

Daily reminder to all ICE agents. By signing up for ICE, you have signed yourself up for a lifetime of fear and criminal liability. There are Nazi concentration camp guards that were tried for their crimes in their 90s. There is no statute of limitations on crimes against humanity. Your names are recorded; your deeds are known. And you will face justice for your crimes. And do not count on a blanket pardon saving you. Crimes against humanity are violations of international law that cannot be pardoned.

Gestapo. They're Nazi Gestapo. Treat them as they deserve.

We’re probably nearing the point where Americans will start trying to get over the border wall and into Mexico.

Seems like it’s time to for people to learn about sustained direct action campaigns.

Rev Left Radio had a great interview earlier this year with a member of Palestine Action about their extremely successful direct action campaign against Israeli weapons manufacturer Elbit. While the media would have you believe that Palestine Action is an ineffective bunch of clowns, they have already forced the closure of two weapons factories in England and forced Barclays Bank to divest from Elbit through sustained sabotage campaigns. Their incredible success is the actual reason the UK government has named them a terrorist organization, not just for spray painting some planes.

For legal reasons, I am not encouraging anyone to break any laws.

What a stupid thing to waste money on.

You could save some of that money and just enforce rules and fines on the people who hire undocumented workers. You'll get money from fines and people will stop hiring those without papers. It's almost like the problem will take care of itself.

Oh wait, that's right. This is all about hurting brown people, breaking up families, throwing sick kids in cages, and making them suffer.

Nevermind.

Remember when republican bitches about how much we spent on immigration?

I’m officially ready to be radicalized.

But we can't afford to feed kids or have medical care or research for cancers and diseases or build housing for everyone.

But we can buy expensive bombs galore to drop on families and build concentration camps.

Neat.

So, when do we all stop paying taxes and stop going to work and bring the whole system crashing down to stop this madness?

So now they are the biggest millitary and paramilitary spender. Cool.

This is perverse

Its incredible what people will support with actual money and loss of freedom if they are sold racist lies

If you want to put 250m subjects under the boot, you simply need a well-funded American GeStaPo.

Good, service guarantees citizenship and the way things are going, the Greatestest and Bestest Democraciest Peaciest and Freedomest Country in the Whole Wide Universe will need some cannon fodder highly qualified personnel.

Well we were the most prosperous country in the world while being racist to the hilt. I'm guessing the GOP thinks that might be the secret sauce.

If you replace the PLA with ICE, its enough budget to invade Taiwan.

also less organized and disciplined, these are also going to be filled with military rejects too, not good enough for the military types.

More like emigration budget! Amirite?!

Racism pays.
