  1. Between 2011 and 2015 the ICE budget stayed the same or fell in 2 years.

  2. Democrats enforced Obama era rules of 72 hour holding limitations for women and children, and followed a criminal-only persecution which actually deported more people than Trump despite the number of cages Trump filled. Thats what this is all about. Trump is filling cages for the private prison industry's profits.

If you don't want the DNC to compromise then elect more than 50 of them to the Senate, and a strong house majority.

You say inflation makes numbers go up each year?

Weird that inflation only seems to really exist for the carceral state.

Feel CLEAN! Vote GREEN! /s

why /s?

if you want anything to change, vote, if you don't agree with any candidate, vote third party

elections are usually very close, if a third party is polling at about a few percentage points, major parties will bend over backwards to get those votes.

that's how we got Brexit (a bad thing) but it was weaponised third parties.
