We could probably hand out a third of that as cash if they left voluntarily.

If the GOP left voluntarily, we could save a LOT more than a third... it's not even comparable
Even better!
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.
I’d like to see them crack down on employers who pay substandard wages no matter who they’re trying to exploit. It does not bother me that anyone is hiring illegal immigrants specifically.
But, but it’s not the poor employers fault for taking advantage of illegal immigrants. That would be very unfair to our glorious job creators. /s
O, we did this...and we decreased our revenue through tax cuts....while we sorta made up for that by fucking over millions of Americans in the process...but...the rich...will be richer...so thats nice.
It's a bit more than that. ICE can act outside the constitution within 100 miles of the border. We've really only seen this with warrantless searches but that's gonna expand.
Well, it's nice to know the US is getting what they voted for. LOL
Which covers like 2/3 of the US population.
It’s even more egregious than that; I’m pretty sure a court ruled a while ago that international airports count as borders too, for the purposes of ICE.
Anyone take bets that ICE will start arresting political enemies?

Racism pays.
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?
Just waiting for a large group to start a movement to call for the general strike. We all need to agree on when we start otherwise small pockets of strikers will just get fired. We need the collective to start all at once so we protect each other's jobs by being unanimous.
Today would have been a good day to start it. People would mostly be off to get their affairs in order.
If you want to put 250m subjects under the boot, you simply need a well-funded American GeStaPo.
I appreciate a lot of the harassment campaigns around tracking and interfering with ICE. These should continue and escalate.
This extrajudicial black-bag unmarked-personnel van-kidnapping bullshit should carry unacceptable risk and highly visible negative public optics for those who keep attempting it.
