ICE now has a quota for arresting immigrants

[Colgate 64]

They're filling it by going after the low-hanging fruit, all the undocumented people who've been in the country for years, living, working, contributing and being an American in everything but their nationality. Other administrations, both Democratic and Republican gave these people a "pass", figuring it wasn't worth bothering with them since they were doing no harm of any kind. But now the jackbooted thugs of the "Border Czar" are using these people to meet their quota. In Chicago it was reported than almost 50% of the people detained had no criminal record. So much for "we're going after the murderers and gang members". Liars.

1. 1200 ot 1500 a day is roughly 550,000 a year using 365 days. That's much less than Biden or Obama deported. However,

trump is really pumping the hate and putting on a show of inhumanity.

4. His goal is twofold;

Make a big show of how "tough" he is on those "vermin", those "poisoners of the nation's blood"; and to scare the others that aren't caught in his dragnets to, as the slug Stephen Miller says, "self-deport".

2. Given a strict quota, there may be some citizens detained.

Gotta make the quota.

3. To judge by the latest figures.

the "some" others detained are close to 1/2 the detentions.
