Several sites are reporting, without reference to IBM's activities 70 years ago, that Microsoft's contact with ICE (U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement) is drawing fire online. The Computer Business Review includes a quote from Microsoft now missing from their press release:
"ICE's decision to accelerate IT modernization using Azure Government will help them innovate faster while reducing the burden of legacy IT. The agency is currently implementing transformative technologies for homeland security and public safety, and we're proud to support this work with our mission-critical cloud," he wrote.
KUOW radio writes on their web site that Microsoft is facing outrage their for blog post touting ICE contract:
As outrage grew online, a Microsoft employee quietly removed mention of ICE from the January press release this morning. Social media users noticed that, too. The company has since restored the press release's original language, and called its removal a "mistake."
After a little bit of conference swag gets handed out and a few advertising contracts^W^Wscholarships get handed out, this will all blow over and be forgotten.

You can enforce the borders without doing this. Don't be a fucking numpty. Wanna get serious about cracking down on illegals? Fine the ever-loving FUCK out of any company that employs them. You'll see that shit go down reeeeal quick.
I am "that girl" your mother warned you about...

Then the kids get locked up with the parents. I am very liberal in many areas, but no you don't just let them go free inside the country.
So here are the options:
Immediate repatriation, no due process.
Family stays locked up together until everyone involved is cleared to leave
Kids get sent to seperate facilities that better match their rights, while adults are tried for their crime.
I will support all three, I will not support letting them go into the states. I am willing to bet NONE of these alternatives are to your liking and that this is a round about way to argue for them all to be set free in the country.

Stream video, and broadcast TV over the border. Show gruesome torture. Nobody else will make the trip. Fewer people would get hurt, because almost nobody would be crazy enough to try.
Any style will do: ancient, medieval, high-tech...
We can sandpaper them to death. We can use the breaking wheel. We can crucify them. We can stone them. We can submerge them in acid. We can catapult them. We can fire them from cannons. We can draw and quarter them. We can starve them. We can smoke them. We can boil them.

Let me tell you, we did a couple of examples. Which the Fake News MSM ignored. Claudia Patricia Gómez González and Roxana Hernandez. RIP!!!!
And you'll be seeing more and more examples, believe me. Until our Border is safe and our Immigration Law is fixed. Any Immigration Bill MUST HAVE full funding for the Wall, end Catch & Release, Visa Lottery and Chain, and go to Merit Based Immigration. Go for it! WIN!

If you bothered to read the rest of the post, you would have your answer. Most illegals are trucked in by big agriculture and textile industries.

Tell that to your congressmen. The executive branch can only execute the laws written by the legislative branch. So, if you have a problem with the law being enforced as written, then get it changed. I'm with you on increased penalties for employment of illegal immigrants and I think we could modify the laws around detainment procedures to minimize the separation of families while still being able to enforce immigration laws. Combine those with improved border security and a streamlined legal immigration process and we'd be getting closer to a sane immigration policy.

They said I couldn't do tariffs. But that I can do treaties (w/Senate) & Executive Orders. And we needed tariffs very badly. So I'm putting tariffs in Executive Orders. And it's working, nobody told me "no." WIN!!!!
