for deportations. The DHS, ICE, and TSA are ridiculous Bush conjured monsters that we all knew would eventually eat us all alive.

Local or state police for airports and deportations. The FBI for any DHS duty that doesn’t involve spying on their own citizens.

You reap what you sow. Everyone back them who warned about this happening was dismissed as crazy by the MSM.

8. The only way to fix it is the scrap it and start over. No one who's in ICE now can be allowed to stay.

The INS and Customs Services were nowhere near as tyrannical then as ICE is now.
