For all the Trump administration’s talk of saving money and increasing “government efficiency,” the president demanded that huge amounts be appropriated in the Republicans’ recent budget bill to fund his mass-deportation program.
In all, $170 billion was set aside to be spent over the next four years for border and immigration enforcement. This total includes $45 billion to create a sprawling detention system (nearly five times the annual budget for the Bureau of Prisons), $30 billion for ICE operations, $46.6 billion for more border wall construction, and, as if that weren’t enough, a new $10 billion border patrol slush fund.
This level of funding is unprecedented. ICE is now the highest-funded law enforcement agency in the country. And that fact raises a question: What exactly are they going to do with all that money?
You’re not going to do anything about people not being able to bring themselves to vote for genocide, but you might be able to get the DNC not to tell its own base to fuck off.
This is true.
You cannot change an idiot. But you can change the way you approach idiots.
But I’ll still always, forever, view those idiots as world class idiots. Because they are.
And I’ll still always, forever, view you lot as Nazi tier genocide apologists. Because you are.
