Casual reminder that the movie The Matrix is older than ICE. The country survived just fine without it before that. Abolishing ICE will not impact us negatively.

As someone that doesn't live in the US, this post sounds insane.

It is. Pretty much anyone who actually believes the “millions of illegal immigrants” line is detached from reality.

Are you saying there aren't millions of illegal aliens in the US? Time for a reality check.

>The number of unauthorized immigrants in the United States reached an all-time high of 14 million in 2023

There are millions living in California alone.


ICE is just the combination of INS and us customs service. Which are from 1933 and 1789.

ICE is the only Federal immigration enforcement agency.

Abolishing ICE is abolishing borders.


Border Patrol (CBP) exists and is a separate entity. They have their own issues, sure, but they are not shooting people in the face recently.

Abolish CBP too

I lost the sense of taste from all of the trampling on my face.

Right after the election, huh? Kinda weird timing.

Fuck ICE, a nuremberg trial for every one of them.


What's the connection between the movie The Matrix and ICE?

Also, did the country truly survive just fine without it before that? Are you familiar with crime stats? Could you share the data on levels of crime carried by illegal immigrants over the years?


Unfortunately it seems like people are either on the left or right end of the spectrum. Surely there is a middle path as well.

I am against open borders, but I am also against some of ICE's tactics.


The extremists (on both sides) are fewer in number than they appear. They're just loud.

Shooting American citizens and then saying they're being "too nice" is certainly extremist, yes. And anti-American.

Somehow the people that get law enforced on them are done so by a government composed of people that should be the first to have the law enforced on themselves

A middle path would be for ICE to roll DICE.

Even, the suspect is executed summarily on the spot.

Odd, the suspect is made citizen and gets a MAGA hat.
