The purpose of ICE is ethnic cleansing, via deportation.

Here's some stats on total immigrants living here:
Mexico: 12,680,000
Guatemala: 980,000
Canada: 890,000
UK: 750,000

Here are the 2017 ICE deportation numbers:
Mexico: 128,765
Guatemala: 33,570
Canada: 353
UK: 151

Hmm…
This is not about wealth, poorer Asian countries are ignored, alongside European countries.

Immigrant populations:
China: 2,420,000
Philippines: 2,080,000
Vietnam: 1,410,000
Honduras: 600,000

ICE Deportations:
China: 525
Philippines: 182
Vietnam: 71
Honduras: 22,381
This is not about those countries having legal immigrants only. Pew Research estimates unauthorized immigrants (in millions):
Central American: 1.6
Asia: 1.5
South American: 0.6
Europe/Canada: 0.5

Asia and Europe have similar numbers, but are virtually ignored by ICE. Why? Race.
ICE's only purpose is to purge Mexicans and Central/South Americans from the population, and they've deported millions to that end. ICE is fascism. We should abolish ICE because we are not fascists, and should not have branches of the government dedicated to ethnic cleansing.

In the last five years McDonald's has averaged $8 billion in profits per year. Their employees average $8.47 per hour. That's $17,617 per year at full time. They have 235k employees, so if the profits were returned to the employees that number could be raised to $51,659 per year.
We live in a wealthy society, poverty is a creation of the business owners. If anyone is working and poor, it's usually because someone else has a piece of paper that entitles them to steal labor from the workers. No one has to be poor industrialized countries. No one.
When people say we can't afford to raise the minimum wage...no, we can. The parasites who do no labor just need to get a smaller piece of the pie. Preferably zero percent. McDonald's gave $3 billion in dividends last year. What did shareholders do to deserve that money? Nothing.

The weird thing about asking "how we will pay for" universal healthcare is that the question is almost incoherent. We already have enough doctors, hospital, medicine, etc to take care of everyone. It is already getting paid for, now. Some people are just denied access to it.
This is in contrast to say, asking how we would pay for a high speed rail from New York to LA. You see…we don't have one. We'd have to redirect 1000s of engineers, laborers, and natural resources to build it.

In other words, we'd have to ask what we'd give up in order to do it.
But we wouldn't have to give up anything to do Universal Healthcare, because we already have the hospitals. The doctors are already getting paid. We just have to stop denying care to poor people, and change the bureaucracy of how the money is gathered from insurance to taxes.

In the face of growing organized protests calling to abolish ICE, many Democrats will soon bravely come out in favor of rebranding it to shake off the bad PR.
Bernie Sanders leading the way of this one, as always, seeing if he can get away with changing the meaning of "abolish ICE" to "rename ICE and make it a bit more civilized."
Here's the litmus test: until middle aged suburban wine moms can no longer call someone up because their Mexican waiter was rude to them, and have federal agents show up demanding their papers like god damn fascists, we haven't abolished ICE.

#Khashoggi Case Thread: I am going to ‘pin’ this post to use it as an ‘Info Thread’ on the #Khashoggi Case. I am in #Turkey. I’ve been following the case closely and with access to sources & experts here. This is a very ‘sensitive’ criminal case due to ‘Diplomatic Booby Traps’!!!
The Evidence Obtained Outside Cameras will not show any evidence of ‘tempering’ but other than license plates of dozens of diplomatic cars (Many with tinted windows-large trunks) with related time stamp, drivers Info, model/year: Nothing.
#Turkish Intel-Investigative Bodies also have the list of all Diplomatic & Private Saudi & “other significant’ Planes in #Turkey for the period of ‘interest.’ Many of the Target airports have their own security cameras & related evidence.

1/ The #Saudi kidnapping of #Khashoggi reminds me of the kidnapping of #Hariri. It is meant to embarrass the other party, this time the gov of #Turkey, and provoke a diplomatic crisis. This is drug Cartel methods. It has no other goal than to assert power over the other.
2/ However, resorting to these methods to assert power in the political and international affairs sphere is always a sign of weakness and a sign of a power in crisis. #SaudiArabia

Seeing people saying "but that one shelter looks nice, they can watch Moana, stop comparing this policy to Nazism". Oh, my dude. Ohhhhh okay siddown for a sec
Actual active genocide wasn't the first version of the Final Solution. They were always headed there, because mass murder is in racism's DNA, but the initial plans? Ethnic cleansing by deportation.
(They legitimately wanted to ship all of the Jews to Madagascar. That was a thing they were seriously talking about.)
