ICE was created in the Bush years and has been demonstrably brutal and racist. You don’t need ICE to handle immigration. Somehow America made it until the 2000’s without it, and much like other three letter agencies created post-9/11, their effectiveness is dubious at best.
One real way to solve illegal immigration would be to make it easier to legally immigrate. Making them citizens means they have equal labor rights and can’t be treated like serfs, so then can command higher wages.
Also, outsourcing has done far more damage to the working class than immigration. Billionaires ginning up the “they’re taking your jobs” sentiment while offshoring as much good paying blue collar work as possible. Neoliberalism in a nutshell.
- coryrc 5y agoIt was a re-org of INS. Bush the Lessor did not create it. Today you even see immigration down and wages up and still you deny reality.
