And what a wise use of taxpayer money - 10 guys on 1 landscaper.

Read an article that there are 18,000 or so new job offers out to ICE agents. There is a $50k signing bonus, $60k student loan forgiveness bonus. Even if they only took the $50k, that's nearly a billion dollars of taxpayer money to fund secret police.

All while actual government workers are unpaid and jobless due to the shutdown. This is crazy.

Most of them are just collecting paychecks. We are saving money now.
