DHS' new ICE recruitment strategy includes 50K signing bonuses, student loan forgiveness and Trump posters. The incentives come as the agency tries to meet Trump's goal of hiring 10,000 new ICE agents and deporting a million people a year.

Ahhh so we can't institute the SAVE plan, or Public Service Loan Forgiveness, even for public working loyalists, but we'll wipe your debts to kick the shit out of brown people.

The mistake they’re making is assuming that people that want to be a part of the gestapo have an education that required student loans.

No they aren’t. They know and if they had their druthers, none of them would have an education that required student loans. Too much critical thinking. They don’t want educated masses. They want their friends, relatives, strategic individuals too be guaranteed elite education & positions of power.

Grumble Kitty @grumblekitty.bsky.social

I disagree with your assessment that they’re overlooking that information. They don’t want people with higher education. That way, there’s nothing to forgive. There’s no loan and no critical thinking. A lot of people struggle with my tone. I’m not against you. I likely agree with you in general.

It mirrors how things have long been structured. The lower classes have no need for higher education, nor do women. It makes them far easier to control. The patriarchal authority makes all decisions & limits info to that required to perform a role. The Jehovah’s Witnesses an extreme overt example.

That will be great for discipline and morale when the new hires are flush with cash incentive, hired from desperation and working with/for veterans of the agency, marines, police, etc. 🙃 These people don’t understand Human Resources AT ALL, yet think they’re titans of industry.

When you need to hire brutal thugs who do not follow the rule of law you need to bribe them. Sort of like recruiting gang members, right? Candidates need loyalty to trump, guns, a tendency for brutality, and hatred of "others."
