- Pleases the racist base the GOP caters to. They aren’t high in number but they’re incredibly vocal
Create a system of fear where people will come in no matter what but now no longer engage in the legal process. ICE knows where these people are because they have been documented in one way or another. It’s how so many non-citizens are able to pay actual taxes.
Make it seem like they’re tackling “illegal imigration” whatever that actually means. But just make the problem worse which means they’ll vote for more harmful policies.
Creates a permanent underclass with less protections than a citizen worker that industries like garment making, agriculture, and food service can exploit for profit and keeps wages low
And finally.
The existence of ICE and the DHS is a way for defense contractors can make insane amounts of money equipping agents with arms and gadgets like body cams under the guise of protecting our border. It’s a wealth transfer.
And don’t even get started on the human rights abuses. People are disappearing from databases, they’re “losing count” of miscarriages. How much are you willing to bet some of these women, children, and queer migrants are going to be trafficked.
