The human toll is also linked to the for profit prison industry. It's a combo of inhumanity, greed, and government overreach on individual liberties. We should spend much more time on this issue rather than wasting it on the occupier of the WH. We already know how awful this person is; there's really nothing to be added to that thought.

I am worried/concerned/scared of policies affecting me as an individual (SS/M’care) but I just passionately, HATE everything “immigration.“ The toll it takes on families, communities and the US generally is simply irreparable. It permanently stains us as a country for people from anywhere to make their lives better. Makes me sad.

ICE has become a terror organization. Still separating families.

Where do these ICE thugs come from? Who enlists them? Are they identifiable? Are there quotas they have to meet? (Of course there are.) And how do they sleep at night, after another cheerful day of disrupting and destroying families?

Popular opinion is that they are mostly “private” hires and get paid by the head. J6, proud boys come to mind. Who knows? They might give them drugs so they sleep. Or they’re have no souls 👹

More and more it becomes clear that a lot of "FOR PROFIT" players are cashing in big time. Cashing in on the backs of hardworking and law abiding citizens.

It sickens me that somewhere a guy is smiling and counting the dollars and bragging at his club how well "business" is going thanks to the elected convicted felon and the masked ICE goons led by that showtime lady Noem.

Knowing how human nature works I would not be surprised if somewhere in the future we learn of "kick backs" to some of these horrible ICE figures for bringing more "merchandize" to these "FOR PROFIT" hellholes

Making money on the back of people who's problem is that they have not got the correct "paperwork".

Here is the problem -- Palantir - PLTR (Thiel) - has a major stake in the immigration raids - It is in the S&P 500 -- So if you own the S&P index funds (all the stocks including PLTR are included) -- So say person A has only $100 of there larger portfolio -- But combine everyone that is investing (retirement) in the S&P 500 index --- and you have billions of dollars unintentionally paying for ICE and its job. --Because everything is a fund (stocks are together) -- its hard to untangle -- would be interested in an article that untangles all this.

This helps me understand why ICE and Collaged Filled Puppy Killer aren't concentrating on "the worst of the worst," but instead, targeting people trying to work for a living (and paying for it through payroll deductions). The private prison connection - the corporation makes money, and the violent criminals that Short Fingers claims to want to get rid of, would be more trouble to oversee in a crowded prison environment. People who were just trying to make a living and feed their kids - much easier to control.

I'm older than dirt, and therefore, cynical.

It's the only Christian thing to do. Bravo for breaking up families!

My grandparents who came to America from Poland in 1927 to escape relentless anti-semitism and start a better life, could not possibly recognize or believe what's going on here today. We must stop this.
