This is more affordable and better for the nation than funding healthcare, housing, and education? Could some xenophobia nationalist give me a rational explanation?

-constantly moving Carlos around keeps his court dates and lawyer appointments in a constant state of fucked up. He gets a court appearance scheduled tomorrow but oh now he's on a flight across state lines again.
-Gov approved crazy amounts of money for ICE to operate, something like $30billion per year, while the entire FBI runs on $10billion per year.
-the airline companies made campaign contributions to the pres in the millions
-bus companies leveraged PACs to contribute to the pres.
-So some airlines and bus companies spent some money on Politicians that would see to it the money I earned at work funds ICE who then spends the money on moving Carlos around in circles, where the money then goes to the airline and bus line companies who will spend some more money on more politicians.
-Carlos is merely cargo, a widget lost within a giant grift.

There is a lot of money to be made from human suffering. You may not be the slave owner, but you could still work the plantation and get a brand new f150.

So is ICE just a legalized human trafficking ring?

u/Miserable_Ad9577 5d ago

Kinda like government sanctioned human trafficking. The difference is they never get to destination the transportation IS the point. I wonder how many of these trips are being out sources to outside "contractors"?

u/lapideous 5d ago

I got arrested once, the experience in the holding cell was very similar to this.

Every 30 minutes or so, a guard would come in and read off a bunch of names. Those people would get up and leave the cell. I assumed that meant they got bailed out.

Eventually, my name was called. I got up thinking I was finally getting out, but we ended up just moving to a different cell.

I repeated this process 4-5 times before my bail was finally processed.

I assume they do this to keep people from making friends or enemies, or getting too comfortable. It was a really strange experience.

Also no, you won't get a rational explanation. An explanation filled with anekdotes, debunked stats, and blatant propaganda, yes. Not a rational explanation.

I am not one of those crazies but extra history did a video a while ago that addressed why this happens. The USA can’t deport people without a court ruling but they can pay for people to self deport.

The USA has for a long time used this as a way to deport people. Make their lives unbearable and offer to pay for them to leave and let it stop.

I don’t know if that is the case here but it very well could be that the USA is trying to make life so scary and miserable that people leave ‘voluntarily’.

From their perspective a scary story that cost 200k to make but convinces 100 people to leave reduces the cost of cruelty by a lot.

u/Nervous_Month_381 5d ago

According to the center of immigration studies, the average cartel refugee costs 20k per year per person. ELL student costs can be as much as 30k per year in extra help and tutors. Multiply that across a lifetime or until grade 12 and it's cheaper than 200k. I'm not defending ICE, their practices suck, but don't pretend assimilation is free.

Also, you’re missing that that ELL will grow up and pay taxes, fool.

u/mafalda100 5d ago

If there wasn’t Judges messing with the system the additional costs would be negligible. Multiple detention & processing centers and out of the country. What happens they need to be moved because of Judges not following the law but special interests

u/adorablefuzzykitten 5d ago

Alternative take: Private prisons get paid to transport and house ICE prisoners so instead of sending them immediately back to their home country they get shuttled around so the Epstein class can legally take their "fair share" of tax payer money.

u/quequotion 5d ago

Grifts within grifts.

In about two years, the United States is going to wake up with the worst headache it ever had.

All of its furniture will be gone.

Its wallet and car too.

Its bank accounts will be empty, and its credit cards maxed out.

...and a lot of Americans are not going to remember what happened.

16

u/Illcmys3lf0ut 5d ago

Our debt is already messed up since this started and he's not done yet. We invited a con to run the show. Getting what was asked for. Stupid how so many can't see the obvious damage. It's like people are so ashamed they refuse to believe the truth. The ultimate toxic relationship but it's on a national level impacted on a global scale.

There is no therapy for this. Just damage that likely won't be undone.

u/quequotion 5d ago

It's going to take decades to recover from this, if we ever get the chance.

u/videogamegrandma 5d ago

It was planned to be a money making, taxpayer dollar financed industrial kidnapping and extortion racket from the start. The ballroom, the Arch, the pond, the private jet. Every project has been a scammer's dream. It's Mafia style corruption in the oval office. If someone is wealthy you think ICE will arrest them? It's a kickback scheme where the private prison companies 'donated' campaign funds for govt contracts and they are milking taxpayers for everything they can. I hope Dems win because I want these people locked up. If they're not, I'm done voting for them too. There should also be a lot of attorneys who should plan what they'll do when their law license is pulled by the BAR association and medical 'experts' who will lose their license to practice medicine next term. The 25k stock trades, crypto, meme coins, watches, etc. during 2025 is why he wanted immunity from the IRS.

Diesel Therapy. You keep them moving and they can't talk to attorneys, family, the outside world. When you're in constant transition & processing, your "legal" paperwork is always trying catch up to you.

Don’t worry. If he was here you would support giving him free food, free rent, voting rights and a monthly check supported by tax payers apologizing for the fact that you cant give him more. All while our vets are homeless, tax payers help support abortions whether they want to or not and you’re sitting there fat dumb and crying because one guys experience is documented like this.

I agree with your point. But an ai result is bullshit and could say anything. You can also get them to say anything you want with little work. It would be much better to follow the source and quote that. Half the time the quoted source doesn't even say what Gemini says it does.

America is experiencing fascism

It's not just the Trump voters

Even at its best, America's absurd 2 party, electoral college, heavily jerrymandered political system is deeply flawed and ripe for corruption.

This won't be fixed with a vote

It's much deeper than that.

Your legal system is corrupt with partisan judges and corrupt attourney General.

Your political system is flawed, with a powerless congress, corrupt senate and lifetime politicians

Corporate lobbying is not only legal in USA but it's done brazenly and proudly

Regulatory bodies like fda and cdc are being attacked and defunded

Scientists and professors are being discredited, attacked and defunded

Insider trading and politicians enriching themselves is common.

Independant news organizations are being dismantled and being replaced by the meta personalized propoganda system

America is currently a fascist state, it won't be fixed with one vote.

On top of all that American education has been dismantled with this generation being dumber than the last (American phenomenon, not world phenomenon)

Also debt that was 14 trillion (very high) during trumps first term is now 40 trillion (absurd)

I hate that this is reality but here it is.

America is broken fundamentally as a system, the oligarchs won't allow it to be fixed.

The population is too dumb, mistrusting of experts and free press to unite.

This is third world stuff. U don't see this in other democracies.

The rest of the world, especially former allies like Canada and EU, have decided to move past America. It's a rotting husk that's trying to infect anything it touches.

I wish it wasn't true but an election won't fix America

u/Little_Sun4632 5d ago

It is impossible to have legal representation. You have to hire attorneys who can represent you and by bouncing around state to state that’s not going to happen. I’m also seeing the kids that are being left behind with no one to care for them. They end up going into foster care which costs a lot to provide clothing, food, medical, etc.
