How ICE Picks Its Targets in the Surveillance Age:
The winter after Donald Trump was elected president, strangers began appearing in a parking lot on southern Washington State's Long Beach Peninsula, at the port where the oyster boats come and go. Rather than gaze at the bay or the boats or the building-size piles of bleached shells, two men — one thinner, one thicker — stared at the shellfish workers. The strangers sat in their vehicle and watched the workers arrive in their trucks. They watched the workers grab their gear and walk to the docks. The workers watched them watching, too, and they soon began to realize that the men were from Immigration and Customs Enforcement.

Start freeing the nonviolent offenders caught up in the prison-for-profit scheme, and put them to work. Tighten welfare benefits. We have millions of people sitting on their asses, doing nothing constructive. Without the illegals to exploit, those millenials who are working two, three, or even more jobs to make ends meet may be offered full-time jobs with all the perks and benefits that come with full-time jobs.
I support almost all efforts to close the borders.
