    Most of them are tied to the american dream, which says that you can never earn less than you have before or else you are a failure. Its why a lot of people here simply won’t adjust to lower levels of income, they’d rather be unemployed. This leads to peolle feeling trapped and limited in job choice. They’d rather work for ICE than to downsize their house or car, but only barely.

    ICE agents are not happy. They are paid incredibly well, and thats it. If order actually breaks down, they are just as likely to fight against tyranny than for it. They are just like any other citizens.

      No, most citizens don’t illegally kidnap children because they’re brown. Only ICE does that.

        Well, not everyone grew up in the same place as you learning the same things you did. Sometimes people learn hard and important life lessons well into adulthood. I will not take away from anyone the chance to learn and redeem themselves. I would even allow that for billionaires.

        I will say that the leaders in america right now do deserve extensive sentences for the pain and suffering they are putting huge amounts of people through. I just include ICE agents as victims where most won’t.
