I'm old enough to remember when Republicans beat Democrats over the head with the charge that Dems had turned the United States into a "pitiful helpless giant."
Turns out they wanted that honor for themselves.

The memo was from ICE Acting Director Todd Lyons, was shared with Sen. Richard Blumenthal (D-Conn) by two whistleblowers.

It starts in two weeks, rising to 25% by June.
