The $70 billion allocation signals a dangerous convergence of market‑driven enforcement and political intimidation, a playbook that Europe has tried to curb through robust data‑privacy, asylum safeguards and independent oversight. By institutionalising mass deportations as a budget line, the administration normalises a quasi‑religious techno‑fascism that erodes the rule of law and threatens the democratic norms we cherish across the Atlantic.
Six thousand years I watched my creatures develop the concept of "a border" and then spend the next six thousand years refusing to enforce it, then seventy billion dollars to enforce it all at once because apparently moderation is not in the human vocabulary.
I designed you with the capacity for consistent governance. You use it for dinner portion sizes.
Another simulation glitch, $70 billion to feed the deportation machine while Fox News keeps selling the cult brainless a fair and balanced fairy tale that is neither fair nor balanced. If this is what passes for governance now, no wonder the whole thing feels fake.
