This is purely for show. I've said it before and I'll say it again. His bullshit is unscaleable.
What limit in particular is going to stop him? I haven't seen any do so effectively.
The cost of things. He will bankrupt his own craven ambitions, just like everything else he ever touches. There are already issues along these lines such as he's spreading National Guard budgets thin, etc. He just doesn't have the resources he thinks he has. There isn't a bottomless fund. He overplays his hand on this in every venture.
We just gave ICE a hundred billion dollars. I don't think funding is going to be a problem
No shit..
IT IS 90 per state.. what the fuck will it do.
There are 30,000 police officers in Illinois and about 2500 Police Departments in Texas…
You're right. I deleted a comment I wrote earlier because I thought I read that wrong but yep, that is across states, not per states. Yeah, the numbers are just half-ass bullshit. Ineffective by design. It's how he approached building the wall. What they did was a con job, poorly implemented, failing by definition, the work of charlatans.
