The Department of Homeland Security is scrapping age limits for new Immigration and Customs Enforcement recruits as it ramps up hiring with a major funding boost from Congress.
Previously, applicants had to be at least 21 and no older than 37 or 40, depending on the role within the agency tasked with locating, arresting and detaining noncitizens lacking legal status. Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem told Fox & Friends that applicants as young as 18 could now be “trained and ready.”
They should call them the Trump Youth
Treatler Youth.
I really have never had an original thought huh stealing my joke 2hrs before I read the article smh
Their twitter account is openly fash too
Surprised they didn’t make it 14 words long
They’ve done it before.
Defend your culture!
So as every store goes out of business, our only jobs left in the US are going to be grifter, cop, and soldier, isn’t it?
Per They Thought They Were Free, at a certain point in Nazi Germany most jobs became available pretty much only to Nazi party members
Bold to assume people will be able to survive with a single job.
It is going to be a bunch of cops and troops, all selling each other MLM dietary supplements.
So this makes sense if you’re approaching it from the angle that now kicking people out of fortress america is the primary concern of empire and not fighting foreign wars. All these benefits and pay where what the military has traditionally offered high school graduates, the “poverty draft”, but my guess is the bourgeoise is now concerned only with what’s going on here and not abroad anymore.
but my guess is the bourgeoise is now concerned only with what’s going on here and not abroad anymore.
Their foreign policy, including the constant warmongering against China, says otherwise.
Yeah, idk where people get the idea that America is being isolationist, they want a war with China ASAP
I think people are confusing ‘isolate the American people’ with isolationist.
Maybe, idk I really don’t see a su*cudal war against China on the cards rn
Just because they realize starting a war right now would be suicidal, doesn’t mean they are not concerned. They are absolutely concerned, otherwise they wouldn’t be constantly making strategic deals to try and isolate China, and they wouldn’t continue spreading the same propaganda that they’ve been spreading for years. Thinking that the US empire suddenly only cares about domestic matters now is a mistake when the regime is literally staffed with warmongers like Rubio who make mask-off comments about their intentions.
there’s nothing else on the cards, the empire needs new meat and there’s scarcely anything left on the carcasses of their own nations. is it suicidal? world-ending? well that’s what the private islands and bunkers are for
constant warmongering against China
Is it just me or does it seem like MAGA has kinda cooled off on that a bit. I haven’t seen either Trump or any CHUD online mention China in a while, if anything Iran seems to be their new foreign boogie man and even then it seems they’ve all pivoted to focusing on domestic issues.
bourgeoise is now concerned only with what’s going on here and not abroad anymore.
There are camps inside the bourgeoise that fight for dominance. One of those camps do still care about the empire and that one is stronger than the fortress america faction.
first they support abducting minors, now they support minors abducting
You think this is a sign that they’re having staffing issues or is this (I know the article implies this but correlation =/= causation etc) because they got that funding boost?
Lobbyists and military companies trying to open up a new avenue for hardware sales as an extra motivator?
I can’t see anyone especially excited to have to train and handle a bunch of dumbass kids. Then again fucking fascists are all about that kind of inter-generational shit huh?
I feel like if they feel the need to expand age eligibility and install a ton of incentives recruitment may not be going great so far
Yeah that’s probably right. Now that I think of it they weren’t exactly recruiting the best to begin with in the first place.
If I were 18 and a fucking chud you have to wonder too if you sign up for ICE what your job looks like after trump’s term ends. And with how much so many people fucking despise you it all together kinda begs the question of why you wouldn’t just be a cop, soldier or a border hog instead.
Close enough, welcome back Hitlerjugend.
Bit idea: the X-men but ideologically reversed and with Stephen Miller as prof X.
No… There’s… a Mexican in the city… Big Balls, hurry, go to… Home Depot on Main Street… Look for… a pregnant woman… faints
ICE, ICE, baby!
Armed teenagers with masks and guns threatening people and businesses. Isn’t this the very definition of a gang?
Can’t wait for the Junior-ICE clubs in high schools all across ‘murikkka. Walking the halls in their brownshirt uniforms, threatening gay, trans & minority kids, and monitoring teachers’ curriculums, for practice.
Well, technically not ICE youth, but that would be redundant at this point.
Gee… thanks. Being too old was definitely the thing that was holding me back from joining the gestapo.
Also: YAY! Let’s give 18 year olds handguns and anonymity. I’m sure that will end well. I remember being 18-19. I was definitely a well-reasoned, rational adult, and not still an impulsive, hormonal teenager. Sure sure.
