Business conservatives liked the old way because it gave them the best of both worlds. They could always threaten a worker with a call to ICE, but ICE wasn’t just showing up on its own all the time to reduce their head count unexpectedly. They probably thought Trump was going to do more of that.

The deal was: they demagogue about “illegal aliens,” they militarize the border, they deport people who get reported by their bosses… but they don’t actually go looking for undocumented workers at farms, in kitchens, or on job sites. It was there to discipline labor, not create a shortage of it.

The number of people on here who refuse to engage with what somebody actually says and instead pick fights with people they've made up in their own heads is mind-blowing.
It's also disturbing, because people who refuse to deal with the world as it is are not capable of making the world they'd want.

Another reminder. Anne Frank and her sister Margot didn't die in gas chambers. They died of Typhus due to overcrowding at Bergen-Belsen women's camp, which also experienced outbreaks of tuberculosis and typhoid fever.
A reminder this happened earlier this week at Trump’s massive concentration camp in El Paso:
“The cases of tuberculosis and COVID-19, two diseases that spread through the air, have underscored concern about the conditions at Camp East Montana and other immigration detention centers.“

You cannot reform this.
Burn ICE to the ground, piss on the ashes, and salt the earth.
Then build a professional agency with standards and accountability to accomplish the critical mission they were supposed to be doing.

Courts say ICE broke the law—thousands of times. The abuse continues anyway. This isn’t enforcement. It’s systemic disregard for constitutional rights, enabled and defended by the Trump regime. Republicans are treating the Constitution like toilet paper.

I call bullshit on the DOJ release of names in the Epstein files
They are including names that show up in press clippings that Epstein happened to forward or that were forwarded to him!
This is a ploy to cover for the fact that Trump's name is REALLY in the files--& a smear of innocent people

This is where he's going. He knows that there's a line about to be crossed. Something's going to come out, like pictures or video or some shit of him raping a kid, and he's going to claim that it's all a fake by the demented and evil democrats.
In latest batshit screed, Trump calls Democrats “demented and evil.” So much for toning down the rhetoric.

Not remotely surprising.
And of course, this is something that Trump could use to get her out. Deport her to France, where she has citizenship. France does not extradict their own citizens, so she'd be safe there.
