    54 million MAGA out there. Plenty of jobs. They might not be able to run 50 feet without a smoke break, but they are there.

      In terms of pure numbers, yeah, there are plenty of MAGA out there to hire. But they need to be mentally and physically fit in order to join ICE and carry out these raids. I would be genuinely surprised if there were enough MAGA in this country who could pass the physical.

      I could be wrong. But if I’m right they might try hiring literal mercenaries for this, or just embezzle the funds. Or buy stupid militarized vehicles like police departments like to do.

        They need to be mentally fit? What do the mental fitness evaluation standards look like for a brown shirt? I get what you’re saying that traditionally ICE agents may have had those requirements but it’s a new dawn where the only requirements moving forward are going to be MAGA loyalty.

        That’s why the police have the vehicles to begin with, most of them are ridiculously out of shape. I mean the typical shoe they wear are proof very few of them are actually fit enough to even try the activity of running.
