Biden's border policy handled things with more sensitivity to how things were portrayed in the media. Public cruelty wasn't the point for him, but deporting people was and remains cruel.

I would love to see that she means some kind of immigrant protection agency and not a kinder, more humane deportation agency. People forget that the Biden agency deported more people than Trump in his first term. He just did it 'by the book' and while CBP did whip some Haitians,

If they turned ICE into an immigration OSHA then we could talk? But we both know that isn't what anyone is talking about. The federal government ostensibly controls ports of entry, so they would literally decide who enters, so I'm not really sure what laws enforcing entry there would even be.

I would literally fight you IRL, but I do not want to have the government go after you. I want you to be a better person and channel whatever you have going on into being a person who helps their community.

It's the enforcement arm that's inhumane. We can disagree about the importance of border bureaucracy, of the necessity of requiring human beings to be documented etc. but we do not need an armed enforcement agency for people who crossed borders.

God, fuck you. this so fucking tiresome. You got me, rhetorically. It is very bad to brag online about anything you do in this day and age, and to ask or imply is a risk. That said, if anything beyond being a smug shit online matters to you, go help people in your community or you're a hypocrite.

Literally go engage with anyone experiencing the violence of immigration enforcement and then be fucking glib about it. Tell me the work they are doing can be done in a humane way. There is no way to enforce immigration in a humane way.

Wow, I didn't realize ICE agents worked at the ID office? And they adjudicated the immigration hearings? I thought they were just goons. Maybe I was wrong about abolishing this apparently important humanitarian group. I'm glad I have big brain friends like you to help me.

Listen, asylum is outside ICE's purview, it's decided by USCIS, so I was being rhetorically generous by entertaining your question. ICE does enforcement. I was saying we do not need an enforcement arm of an immigration system.

Yes, good, the rational adults will rebuild ICE from first principles, and then wring their hands in ten years when their sensible policies lead to fascism again.

We can actually just rubber stamp them 'yes' Again, there is no argument you can make either to morality or to public good to oppose letting everyone in.

FWIW, we don't and didn't need INS either.

We could debate what to do beyond that, but there is not a case for public good that comes from enforcing immigration law.

Ape @apezor.bsky.social · 7h

It was not. Abolishing ICE on its own is good, full stop. We do not need an immigration enforcement agency. We could stop funding it, and stop enforcing immigration law, and release everyone in the immigration detention facilities, and stop there.

ICE was established in 2003. Prior to that, we had no government, and open borders? I seem to remember differently, but I'm some smooth-brained illiterate so, who knows.

I swear to god, do y'all not know that ICE was founded in 2003, and that we never needed a squad of federal goons to harass migrants away from the borders? That rebuilding a 'humane' version of that is inherently contradictory?

Wow, you're right. I should have assumed the system of dignity she's replacing ICE with is American Communism. How silly of me! I thought she was talking about replacing the current regime of Immigration enforcement with a different one, with a new name but similar mission.

A system that lets everyone in wouldn't need to be rebuilt.

'Tear down and replace' doesn't instill the confidence you seem to think it ought, even with the assurance of dignity. It's not a literacy issue, it's a legitimate difference of policy opinion.

ICE was established in 2003. It only exists to terrorize immigrants. it is not an "immigration system" in anyway. it is the gestapo. the deeper question I have for many of you is: what do you think an immigration system is? what do you think it does?

I know I'm a broken record on this, but one part of what is going on is that people have literally no idea what the US immigration system actually is; effectively, that there are no pathways into the country legally for someone who wants to wait in line.

One of the reasons for this is that the rhetorical figure of the trans child is never transfeminine. The trans girl is not a figure in the conservative lexicon because the transfeminine is a grotesquerie positioned always as a sexual threat to "real girls", and thus always adultified.

It is the latest development in a story ignited by a comment made by Indiana Fever player Sophie Cunningham, who said she wanted to protect young girls "who shouldn't have to go against biological men" in sport.
