$45 billion more given to ICE with the bill passed in the senate today. Your taxes going towards (more) ethnic cleansing. They want to strip citizenship from anyone who doesn’t kiss their ass and throw them in these cages. Next step after that will be “lending” the imprisoned for labor.
Any American who doesn’t have “abolish and defund ICE” at the top of their priority list is aiding and abetting fascists.
Minor correction - the bill passed today increases it's overall operating budget by $175B to over $200B total. ICE will become the third most funded armed forces in the world just behind China. $45B is earmarked for camps.
There's about 10M undocumented immigrants in the u.s. This is about $20k each. They're not just going after immigrants.
and many immigrants dont want to be found which is why they are targeting non immigrants as well.
wtf. It’s almost ENTIRE Chinese army budget ($246 billion). And china has aircraft carriers and nuclear submarines! It’s a budget for a new army
They have to be exterminated. Arm up.
Ha. You’re taking about Americans here. They’ll cower and not do shit. Watch.
Correct
its
200b This is insane amount of money. They're gearing up for something huge.
They knew the military wouldn't fight civilians, because it has a command structure, but ice will
They actually edited to bill so it has to go back to the house again to pass there before it’s law. There’s a chance of it failing with how close the first was but it’s still pretty slim.
