Kind of difficult to do when our government agencies are overwhelmed by the endless flood of migrants.

We could always just increase funding for CBP and ICE...

It would be entirely possibly to get more personal,, funding and aidworkers. Theres a lot of NGOs and charities that keep pandering about the migration crisis. They could instead contribute some practical aid on location. Both by providing personal, funds and other resources. Also prison sentences for antifa rioters could be changed into community aid work hour, which would give additional manpower for low cost.

Under those conditions ICE itself would be reduced to a supervising role in the background, with the costs being reduced remarkably. If this being flanked by other measures the bulk of the migration crisis can be managed.

You do not understand how ICE is structured nor what it does.
Pro tip, it is much more than operating SOME of these facilities (which are not all operated by ICE.


This website has been around longer than ICE

And before you do so you cannot simply let everyone go wherever they want, without posing a safety risk.


Currently, I can go wherever I want within the united states. Why don't I pose a safety risk?


Eh, it is more complicated than that. The ICE replaced functions two organizations, one created in 1933 and the other in 1789.
So the name is new, the law enforcements functions it performs not.

Sure you could rename it, or move it under a different agency or organization.

And you have actually been vetted. The government has a record of your criminal activity if any, and if you are wanted for a criminal act, you cannot just run around freely.
Also they can detain you if you have a dangerous disease that is contagious.

Don't bring antifa into this, its not necessary. And throwing money at the problem never works.

They're not compromising because it goes against their views and morals. You don't see conservatives passing bills to fund abortion clinics. I don't think we should be funding camps on the border where people die regularly.

One doesn't have responsibility for everyone in need, that would be literally impossible.

Also, the problem isn't time. It's resources.

Richest country in the world. You can afford it without using some senile fuck's dream of a militarized border wall as a bargaining chip.

Also, you do have a responsibility towards everyone in need within your country, at least, and that includes the immigrants you detain.

Our system is not particularly draconian. We have one of the largest immigration to non immigrant populations in the world AND have more total immigrants than any other country in the world.

But regardless of how we reform it, we still need agencies with sufficient resources to administer and enforce it.

No it is not throwing money into it. But theres a long standing tradition of charity and liberal political activism. If we could use a friction of the political and individual energy that is being going into the later into actual social work and aid then there would be no need to throw additional taxpayers money at the situation.

It is not as black-and-white as that. We have no shortage of unskilled laborers in this country. What we need is skilled workers, but immigrants (either legal or illegal) typically do not provide this.
