Is this happening because people don't know how to take care of themselves?

"Andrea Alexander, an attorney living in Utah, came to apply for the Office of the Principal Legal Advisor, the branch of ICE that argues immigration cases in immigration court. She learned of ICE's recruitment efforts from White House Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller's social media.

'I love Trump. I love his administration. I think he's going to save our country,' Alexander said, adding that those applying to be deportation officers should likely believe in the mission as well. 'They probably have to be true believers for the front line because they have to be ready to catch a lot of flak right now.'

Still, Alexander said she wanted to see efforts to increase legal migration and visa reform.

'We've made it almost impossible for people to immigrate legally. It's very difficult and they should be able to come over,' she added."

"As part of ICE's legal department, attorney Adam Boyd provided guidance related to how ICE officers performed their enforcement duties. 'I saw this push to find how can we accomplish the goal with anything that seems legal enough,' he said. 'We're lumping people with no criminal history who have been here for a very long time with the 'worst of the worst.'

"'There's no question we have threats in our country,' Boyd said. 'That's why the State Department and Homeland Security and the FBI and all these agencies work together to keep people safe. This doesn't feel like protecting the homeland anymore. It feels like we're just hitting numbers and goals.'"
