Interesting ; Do you have any official or investigative links regarding incentives per deportation?

I understand their recruitment incentives are out of this world, but have not found reliable source for per-deportation incentives, and want to make sure I argue with 100% factually supported data.

I do not, unfortunately. It's just something I heard; though it would explain why ICE is going after law-abiding immigrants instead of criminals as originally intended.

    • Not always, and this another reason why terms like "illegal immigrants" are so harmful. Someone who is late in renewing their work visa, for example, has committed a civil offense and could be deported by ICE, but they still aren't a criminal in the way someone who crossed the border illegally or used a fraudulent visa would be.

    • That is a lot less binary than angry evil people would like to portray.

      If we say there are ~~11 million under documented immigrants, there are literally hundreds of thousands if not millions that e.g. Were legal until the orange orangutan decided otherwise. There are people under ambiguous laws and people in tricky cases.

      This is the equivalent to saying everybody who went 57mph in 55mph zone is a criminal and should be executed.

      Life has nuance.
