So let me get this straight: We can’t find the budget to pay our actual TSA agents, but we’ve got plenty of cash to bus in ICE agents with zero experience to do their jobs?

Efficiency at its finest. What a slap in the face to the people who actually know what they’re doing.

@Strandjunker If I understand correctly, ICE is the pet project and private army for a billionaire, funding is never going to be an issue.

@weta @Strandjunker

ICE is prefunded for several years with our healthcare dollars because of the Big Ugly Bill. But I wouldn't be surprised if some Nazi billionaires would be willing to chip in. Their problem certainly isn't money; it's that not enough people are so stupid as to think neck gaiters protect them from data breaches.

Big Budget Act Creates a “Deportation-Industrial Complex”

The result will be a lopsided, enforcement-only machine that will be hard to dismantle.
