Dear MAGA: If You Think Masked ICE Thugs Wouldn’t Do the Same to You, You’re Even Dumber Than You Look

A lot of people on the internet are celebrating and cheering on some pretty brutal videos of ICE grabbing Mexicans out of parking lots, out of Walmarts, wherever. It’s understandable. I understand, and my instinct is to celebrate it as well. And I would be celebrating it if I knew less about the situation than I do.

Please, allow me to explain why I’m not celebrating it.

Let’s start with just how uncomfortable I am with the cops. The Big Beautiful Bill is turning ICE into the biggest federal cop group in American history. Their budget is going to go from $10 billion to $100 billion, which surpasses the combined budgets of the FBI, DEA, ATF, Bureau of Prisons, and the Marshals Service.

Note that there has never been a case of a federal cop group shrinking. In theory, ICE should have a temporary mission, correct? They should be rounding up the immigrants, processing them in holding centers near the border, then shipping them back to wherever they came from. (In certain cases, sending them to some third country might make sense, but because they all came through Mexico, that third country should be Mexico. It was Mexico that made the decision to let these people walk through their country into our country, and while I understand that this was under pressure from the Biden administration, all that really means is that the US is capable of asserting enormous pressure on Mexico.)

But there is no “once the mission is complete, ICE’s staffing and funding will be drastically downsized” clause in the BBB or anywhere else. This is a standing army, trained to run around the country throwing people into vans, without warrants. If you think “JD Vance” is going to win the 2028 election, you have no understanding of what is happening in this country. Apparently, the reasons Democrats will take over in 2028 are something that need to be explained in some detail, something that is beyond our scope today. But Democrats will control the federal government in 2028, SCOTUS will not get in their way, and they are not going to disband a massive federal cop organization, but instead use it for their own purposes. If we want to get an idea of what they will do with these cops, perhaps we should recall Waco and Ruby Ridge, then imagine that sort of thing happening everywhere, all the time.

Another fact that is rather important in my view is that most of these people we see being arrested are not being deported at all. The BBB does nothing to address the laws that make it virtually impossible to deport 98% of illegal immigrants. Getting rid of the laws that prevent deportations should and would be the first move of anyone who was even remotely serious about deporting tens of millions of people. Among other things, you would expand expedited removals, end “credible fear” interviews for “asylum seekers,” and defund immigration courts. This could all be done by Congress.

Of course, the idea of tens of millions of people via mass roundups is completely nonsensical on its face. No one knows the actual numbers, but after the 20+ million who likely came in under Biden, we are definitely talking about somewhere in the range of fifty million illegal immigrants we want to remove. You are not going to pick them up one at a time in the Walmart parking lot. You don’t need to be a math genius to understand this, and I don’t need to tell you “how many football stadiums is 50 million people?”

What you would do is start seriously punishing people who hire or rent to illegal immigrants. You would fully implement E-verify, to ensure people who work and rent are legal residents, then you would send ICE to round up the tens of thousands of people who are employing and renting to illegals and charging them with ten years in prison for each instance. You would then set up ICE-run “no questions asked, just sign the form and we’ll give you $1,000 in cash and put you on a bus back to Mexico or on a flight to wherever” voluntary deportation centers in every major American city and provide a hotline for the immigrants to call explaining how they can make their way out.

If they can’t legally work and they can’t legally live anywhere, all of a sudden you have an exodus. What can they do? They have to leave. Then, instead of endless videos of masked men grabbing screaming women in church parking lots and throwing them into vans, you’d have endless videos of immigrants lining up and boarding single-file onto buses bound for Mexico.

Im sure it’s possible to argue that some of the immigrants would refuse to leave even if they could not work and had to live on the streets. But it’s not going to be very many of them, and those ones could be thrown in vans. They’re not going to be hard to find.

Tens of millions of people have been relocated before. The most obvious example to point to is the partitioning of Pakistan. That project used carrots and sticks, but it did not round millions of people up, throwing them in cars one at a time, sending three officers to arrest a single individual.

How long does the arrest take, if we include drive time and paperwork? How much are these ICE people being paid per hour? This all starts to become reminiscent of “Holocaust math,” no?

Far from moving to arrest the employers and landlords of illegals, which I suspect many in the Trump administration would view as antisemitic, Trump has not even managed to cut off illegal immigrant access to all of the free social services.

Even if you are not big on math and are a true believer in the “one arrest at a time” strategy, the problem now is that ICE has already cleaned out the “100 miles from the border” immigrants who have been here less than two weeks (those are the only people eligible for expedited removal), and now these people are just being interned indefinitely as the courts prevent deportation. Yes, the Trump administration is making a big show pushing back on the courts, Stephen Miller is saying they don’t have the authority, but whatever the details of that battle might be, most of these people being detained by ICE are no longer being deported and are instead being sent to detainment facilities. Meanwhile, there is not even a discussion of using the Congress to pass laws stripping courts of their ability to prevent deportations. The United States federal court system is still able to enforce international refugee treaties (HIAS and others successfully challenged Trump’s EO on the matter in court), and instead of using the Congress to get rid of these treaties, Trump sends Miller to argue with the courts about what they mean.

Just Send Them to Black Sites, Indefinitely?

This “Alligator Alcatraz,” where MAGA patriots plan to eat delicious bread while watching Mexicans being eaten alive by large lizards, is a “black site.” That is, it is a prison camp where people are held indefinitely without access to due process. Just to be clear, no, it does not have to be secret to be a “black site.” Guantanamo Bay, where Trump is also sending immigrants instead of deporting them (he’s allowed to do this because Gitmo is technically US soil), is the world’s most famous prison and is also, definitionally, a “black site.” That said, it is certainly often a feature of a black site that you do not know where it is, and if you imagine that the federal government is not using this current circus atmosphere to build these sites across the country, you are as innocent as a babe or as stupid as an ox who’s suffered severe head trauma.

If the illegals could simply be deported in an efficient manner, you would not have any reason to build new black sites. So there is one more reason the state has for not successfully deporting illegal immigrants. That’s on top of the fact that all wealthy donors are against mass deportation of illegals.

Along with a brand new army of fully militarized federal cops trained to drive around the country and disappear people into vans in broad daylight, these black sites are another thing that the Trump Administration will be gifting to the AOC administration when James “JD Vance” Bowman loses the 2028 election.

I’m sure the Democrats will campaign on abolishing (or at least restricting) ICE and closing the black sites. And I’m sure people will believe it because of the long established Democrat tradition of telling the truth and never using federal cops for immoral purposes.

The most important gift Trump will give to AOC will be an AI police state control grid run by Palantir, so that the government will be able to keep close tabs on racists, sexists, homophobes, transphobes, and most importantly of all, antisemites.

Will the Democrats use this series of gifts to identify, arrest, and detain all the people viewed as a threat to democracy? Of course, I have no way of predicting such a thing, all I can do is say that it would be very easy to do, given these incredible gifts Trump will be giving them, and could be done legally with a simple emergency declaration which could be declared for more or less any reason.

Here’s an interesting question: how many people would need to be disappeared into some cage in a swamp to crush a meaningful American resistance movement? We know that the Palantir system will be able to identify them, and I would suspect the number is lower than 2,500. It could in fact be much lower than that, given that a fully functioning controlled opposition movement already exists, and most people would prefer to follow a Pied Piper offering them some joyful fantasy than look upon the dark realty of what is actually happening in front of their eyes. A quick perusal of the ridiculous popularity of the QAnon movement should be enough to demonstrate the ability of people to put their faith in nonsense, and most of the controlled opposition movements are nowhere near as ridiculous as QAnon.

Personally, I think these street scenes of ICE agents grabbing people are being created to desensitize people to seeing this sort of thing, and I think it is only a matter of time before these methods are used against those viewed as “dissidents” in America. But, hey – maybe I’m wrong? Maybe I’m just paranoid and it’s just that everyone in the government is really bad at math?

Bonus Trump Gift to Democrats: A Browner America


Along with the “elite police state package,” there are a lot of bonus gifts Trump is giving the Democrats. For example, Trump has decided to make it look like he’s implicated in the Epstein documents by claiming they don’t exist, and Democrats can now claim he destroyed them all. This is fantastic news for a lot of Democrat politicians and donors. You could come up with a big list of all sorts of little presents like this Trump will be giving the Democrats in the 2028 handoff.

But given today’s topic of discussion, the most relevant of the bonus gifts Trump will be giving the Democrats is a browner America. Homeland Security claims that virtually no one is crossing the border illegally currently. That seems unlikely, but okay. DHS also claims that as of June, so in Trump’s first six months, they had deported 207,000 people. The goal the administration had set was to deport a million per year, and it looks like in 2025 they might get close to 500,000, half of their 1 million goal. For reference, the Biden administration was probably allowing about 5 million people a year to enter the country, while in 2024, that administration deported only 270,000.

Given that Trump is going for all of the low-hanging fruit in his first months in office – new arrivals who are near the border – and given that there has been no interest shown in using Congress to change any of the laws, and especially given that there is no interest in putting the onus of responsibility on the people hiring and renting to the illegals, it is unlikely that by their 4th year, they will be deporting more than Biden was in his fourth year.

So just to be clear: Biden allowed in 20 millionish, Trump says the goal is to deport 4 millionish, he will probably end up deporting 1.5 millionish. Even after building and arming the biggest federal police agency in history, there is no way he is going to get near Obama’s deportation numbers.

Again, no need for a math whiz to see that just with white deaths and brown births alone, the 2028 America Trump hands off is going to be significantly browner than the 2024 America Biden handed him. But we haven’t added the legal immigrants. That’s about 1 million new people per year, virtually all of them brown. Further, Trump is at least flirting with the idea of removing caps on H-1B visas for Indians, which could mean multi-millions more per year.

Any way you cut it, 2028 America is going to be significantly browner than 2024 America, and it could be a lot browner.

But hey, I heard on Fox News that brown people are leaving the Democrat plantation because of the woke agenda. So maybe it will all work out? Maybe brown folks will get sick of paying these high taxes to people who want to turn their kids gay, and we’ll have a… multiracial working class uprising against the… the woke mob.

Or whatever.

But Hey, Whatever

Many in the internet will claim that a person has no right to identify a problem unless he has already prepared a solution for it. It is difficult to imagine a more infantile mindset for a grown adult man to embrace. But who am I to judge? I simply do my best to look at the world, to examine the facts, and try to explain what is going on to those interested in listening. I would never want to force anyone to listen. You are an adult, and you have a basic right as a human being to believe whatever it is you feel like believing.

I do not have a solution to the very serious problems I am identifying here, and will not even suggest that any such solution exists. I’m just exhausted by this goofy fantasy bullshit. In 2016, Trump said tens of millions of people needed to be deported. He “lost” in 2020, and tens of millions more were brought in before he “won” in 2024, and now he’s aiming to deport 4 million by 2028, and it seems that number is impossible, but you are going to get a massive police state, both digital and physical, in exchange for removing maybe 1.5-2 million illegal immigrants.

Okay?

That’s what’s happening. Happening alongside the endless wars, the biggest budget ever, the entire Epstein case being thrown into a black hole, and whatever other cute little surprises the Trump administration has up its sleeve over the next 3.5 years. It’s all bad news. So if you want, pretend it’s not happening. No one forced you to read this. At least, I hope they didn’t. If someone did force you to read this, I’m sorry. If it was a Mexican who forced you to read it, you should call ICE, and they will come feed him to an alligator.

When analyzing the American empire, and the evils it is currently in the process of spreading, I’ve determined that a man can either hope that the American empire falls sooner rather than later, or that he dies before things get really bad.

The other thing one can do is pray for incompetence on the part of the evil forces implementing this agenda, but I suppose that falls under the “hoping for collapse” category.

When Trump was allegedly shot in the ear in Butler, I identified this as part of a program to set him up as an overwhelmingly popular leader, who would come into office as a kind of Caesar figure, and be able to do whatever he wanted to do. Unfortunately or fortunately, most of that good will has already been burned through. The Epstein thing was incredible. To actually start yelling about how people need to stop talking about Epstein was beyond my comprehension.

That was just so completely nuts. When I first saw it, I had to confirm it wasn’t AI.

And then this?

As I always note, we live in a democracy. Please don’t say “oh no, we live in a Republic.” Some of you people are just such retards, I really feel like you deserve all of this. Sometimes, I think the Jews are right about the goyim. We do live in a democracy, a representative democratic republic, and this means that you do not have a way to petition grievances. So the government can do whatever they want to you.

However, at some point, any population facing a certain amount of abuse will engage in a violent uprising, so the system is able to move much more smoothly when they have high levels of support. The fact that Trump has burned up so much good will so quickly is confusing and can only really be explained by incompetence on his part and on the part of his cadre. He doesn’t actually have to do anything. He can just pretend he’s trying to do something. But coming out and saying “we must defeat Putin and actually Epstein didn’t even do anything” is really wild.

So sure. Hope their incompetence screws everything up and leads to a collapse. That’s my best advice.

My best advice is actually to leave the United States, and forget the place exists. But most people are not going to do that.
