    I would absolutely love to see a fifteen year old try to tackle a 200lb Latino construction worker.

    Jokes aside, the fact that there could potentially be basically kids walking around with firearms in our cities is absolutely horrifying. All you need is one kid with zero training to get put under too much pressure and start doing immigration enforcement like he’s playing COD. The adults aren’t even getting proper firearm or self defense training as I’ve seen some of these men holding a handgun in one hand with a floppy wrist like its a fucking nerf gun. This can only end badly.

    ICE.gov has job listings. We need that site to be victim of DDOS attacks, and flooded with applicants who want to tear the system down from within.

    The older ones are ageing out, Anybody susceptible in the next generation is self reporting while they’re young.

    Life will suck for a while, possibly 10-20 years, but I feel like this is all gonna lead to the republican party dying out.

    Even now they have to rig the voting districts just to win because they are so hated.

    At this rate all they can do is push further and further out on that limb, They already invested too much to be willing to give up, but They don’t realize the further they push it the less resources they leave themselves in the future

    I hate trump, but he’s the one who will be known for killing the republican party someday

      Sure the GOP may die but there will continue to be a conservative, reactionary, isolationist, nationalist right-wing. Who cares what it’s called?

    Just to illustrate what we have to look forward to now, as though there is any room left in the news cycle:

    Some critics pointed to a similar move to increase recruitment at U.S. Customs and Border Protection, where lower hiring standards resulted in increased reports of sexual misconduct and corruption among Border Patrol recruits.

    “If they start waiving requirements there like they did for Border Patrol, you’re going to have an exponential increase in officers that are shown the door after three years because there’s some issue,” former senior ICE official Jason Houser told The Associated Press last week.

      I think worrying about firing them doesn’t even register. I’m assuming, based on where we are headed, that the sex crimes will be part of the training.

    It’s not a big step from being a paramilitary group to actual military. This is less Gestapo and more SS
