    Loan forgiveness for ICE already exists. It’s called Public Service Loan Forgiveness. Work for the government or a qualifying nonprofit for 10 years while making student loan payments, get the rest of your student loans forgiven.

    I don’t see anything saying this is a new program - just our billionaire overlords spinning a benefit Congress created for everybody as a special reward just for their loyal soldiers. Lying as usual.

    Remember, men like Trump and Vance hold ICE agents and cops and soldiers in as much contempt as they do criminals and “illegals”. In their eyes, anyone not in the billionaire caste is trash.

      Guess why the military has (shitty but more than none) social safety nets like socialized medicine and student loan forgiveness? And why the elite continuously refuse to raise the standard of living of the poor?

      As long as these benefits are just slightly better than poverty, recruiting numbers will stay up.

        They don’t raise the standard of living for the poor because they view labor as a commodity. If we made things less difficult for the poor then the price of labor will go up because people wouldn’t be as desperate. Their goal is to make the price of labor as low as possible.

          There was a whole thing about it recently. Fortunately I was already blackpilled from Covid and understood that some large segment of our population has no conscious thinking capability, or it would have been really disheartening and sad to learn how many people thought the movie was serious and the humans were the heroes.

    Okay guys, here me out…join ICE, get student loans forgiven…and then be a bumbling idiot at your job. Let people get away bcz youre out of breath. Fuck up the paperwork bcz youre too incompetent to read. Just be the absolute worst employee at your job, like ever. And then when they ask you about it just shrug and say, IDK, I guess I’m stupid…

      My guess is that the benefits only pay out after you’ve been employed a certain number of months or years. So if you get fired for incompetence you probably won’t get the benefit, or you’ll be required to pay it back.

        It’s worse than that. You need to get results based on the videos we’re seeing. In other words, you would need to deport people and break up families to earn your debt forgiveness.

    Anyone have the details on these benefits? Payout time etc.?

    If a whole fuckton of people with sense and morals overwhelmed their hiring department and became maliciously complaint ICE agents we stand a chance to break the system. Get names of everyone we can, build profiles and map out the line of command.

    The riots are going to need targets. I’m not sure how to put words to this, but if I were caught in the crossfire I just need to know at least one actual fascist fuck was going out with me. If I could take two it’d be a net positive.

    Oh so they’re struggling to hire? I guess there’s a finite number of psychopathic boot lickers, and it’s a bit lower than I expected

    Which they won’t have to pay out after they thank their workers for throwing people in camps by throwing them in camps.
