Priorities
15 Common-sense Reforms That Would Transform America
These are the 15 top things I would focus on as President:
Medicare for All
We are the only major industrialised country in the world that does not have a universal healthcare system ~ because we are the only country in the world foolish enough to allow a group of common criminals to steal hundreds of billions from our citizens each year when it comes to health care. That needs to stop, and it will under my Presidency.
Representative Pramila Jayapal, of Washington state, currently has a bill in the House of Representatives known as HR 3069 ~ The Medicare for All Act. Under section 701 of that bill, they have left it open to be funded. I have taken the bill and amended it in ways I know would strengthen it, and I funded it, the way I would want to do it as President. It lowers the cost to citizens tremendously from what they’re paying now and increases the amounts significantly on the most profitable and largest corporations in America by levying a 3% to 10% tax on earnings above $500 million to fund the health care system, while it delivers much better care, which is how it should be. All their profits come from the citizens of the United States purchasing their goods and/or services. They would not make that money if it wasn’t for their customers, most of whom are citizens of the United States?
I additionally have added a Wellness Section that will run a National Print and Media Ad campaign that will spend $15 billion on the campaign a year and a total of $45 billion with things like contests and bonuses for doctors who improve their patients’ health. The ad campaign will encourage people to eat whole, healthy foods, and to cut back on sugar consumption.
The nation will hold contests nationally and whoever comes up with the best ideas to get people up and out of their homes and out into the parks and taking walks with their neighbors and working out and eating better will win cash prizes of as much as $1,000,000, so we’ll have the whole society thinking about ways to make our society and lives better and healthier. You can read how I funded it under Section 702 and the other amendments I’ve made HERE.

I would never allow this group of thieves to continue to operate in an extraction economy the way they are now. One made for the benefit of multi-billionaire oligarchs that are sucking the life out of everyone else.
POWERPOINT EXPLAINING FUNDING AND MASSIVE SAVINGS REALIZED WITH BARRY’S AMENDMENTS
PAYOFF THE NATIONAL DEBT IN 11 YEARS
How the Ellsworth Administration
will Pay Off America’s National Debt in
Eleven Years.
America is drowning in debt.
Within living memory,
America ran surpluses.
From 1998 through 2001, the federal government ran four consecutive budget surpluses under President Clinton. Peak surplus: $236 billion in fiscal year 2000.
The Congressional Budget Office projected the entire national debt would be eliminated by 2010.
Then Wall Street broke it.
The most significant change in financial history since the Great Depression occurred in 1999. The Glass-Steagall Act was broken with the passage of Gramm-Leach-Bliley — and for the first time in 70 years, Wall Street Investment Bankers were given access to everyday working Americans' cash deposits, with ZERO regulation as to what they could do within our commercial banking system. The theft of that money then began in earnest.
The first thing to occur were the Bush Tax Cuts and the WARS in 2001 and 2003. The surpluses vanished. Debt has climbed every year since.
They caused it. They pay for it.
Wall Street created the Housing Crisis from 2000 to 2008 with their liar loans, which created the need for the bailouts. Those bailouts didn't cost Wall Street a dime — they cost YOU trillions.
The wars in Iraq and Afghanistan didn't cost the war profiteers a dime — they cost YOU eight trillion dollars.
And the land monopolists who bought up American housing while young families were locked out? They paid pennies on the dollar for the 9 million homes the Obama Administration took from working families in foreclosure and gave to Blackstone and BlackRock.
One percent on every Wall Street trade. One percent on every acre of hoarded corporate land. The people who caused this debt are going to pay it off.
Six levers. The Cartel pays.
Roll back the Bush & Trump tax cuts + capital gains parity
- Graduated tax brackets from 35% at $200K rising 0.5% per $25K of additional income — reaching 50% at $1M. Reagan's top rate. Adds $260B/year.
- Capital gains taxed at ordinary income rates — but ONLY for those earning over $100K. Grandma's retirement, IRAs, 401(k)s, and Roth accounts fully protected. Adds $250B/year.
- Repeal the 20% pass-through loophole that lets hedge fund managers and private equity partners deduct a fifth of their income.
- Restore the estate tax to Clinton-era levels — currently the first $30M passes tax-free to heirs.
- Kill LUXURY write-offs: no more deductions for private jets, yachts, second homes, business "entertainment," or luxury real estate exchanges. R&D credits and legitimate business capital investment fully preserved.
- Restore the 35% corporate rate and end full expensing giveaways for luxury assets.
- Graduated surtax over $100K: $500 base plus $100 per additional $10K of income.
- Nothing changes for anyone earning under $100K. Retirement accounts, R&D credits, and business investment are all fully protected.
Close "Buy, Borrow, Die" + end
corporate offshore tax dodging
- Billionaires don't sell stock — they borrow against it at 2-5% interest and live tax-free. When they die, stepped-up basis erases all gains. ProPublica: top 25 richest Americans paid an effective 3.4% rate.
- Fix: Treat large loans against appreciated assets as income. Eliminate stepped-up basis for estates over $30M. Adds $80B/year.
- Apple, Google, Amazon, Pfizer, Nike shift US profits to Ireland, Bermuda, and the Caymans through paper transactions and pay pennies on the dollar.
- The rule: If you sell it here, you're taxed here. Every dollar of profit from US customers taxed at the full US rate. Foreign profits from foreign customers stay their business — no double taxation.
- 21% corporate minimum tax on book income to stop Amazon, FedEx, and Nike from using deductions to pay zero. Adds $220B/year.
Medicare for All +
National Wellness Initiative
- $100/month per household under $100K, $150/month over $100K. Contributes $185B/year to Treasury.
- 1% Medicare payroll tax on wages and salaries. Contributes $120B/year to Treasury.
- Applying M4A efficiencies to existing federal healthcare (Medicare, Medicaid, VA, federal employee plans) saves $400B/year in federal budget.
- A family earning $80K currently pays $8,000-$15,000/year for healthcare. Under this plan they pay $2,000. Net savings: $6,000-$13,000/year.
- Private insurance consumes 20-31% of every healthcare dollar on admin. Medicare runs at 2-6%. Americans pay 2-4x more for identical drugs than any other country.
- The Wellness Initiative: free preventive care, nutrition, exercise, mental health. Chronic disease drives 90% of healthcare spending — preventing it upstream is dramatically cheaper.
Pentagon audit & overseas
base closures
- Close half of overseas bases — the U.S. has ~750 military bases in 80+ countries, many are Cold War relics. Savings: ~$75-100B/year.
- First real Pentagon audit — DoD has failed 7 straight audits. Recovering waste and fraud: ~$100-150B/year.
- Cut duplicate weapons programs across the Army, Navy, Air Force, and Marines: ~$50-100B/year.
- End no-bid and cost-plus contract abuse by Lockheed, Boeing, Raytheon, and General Dynamics: ~$75-125B/year.
- Retire Cold War force structure we no longer need: ~$50-100B/year.
- Not one veteran benefit gets touched. This is contractor and base overhead only.
Wall Street FTT + Land Value Tax —
The Cartel pays
- Wall Street created the 2008 Housing Crisis and got bailed out for free. They pay a 1% Financial Transaction Tax on every trade. Retail investors barely notice on rebalances. High-frequency trading parasites shut down. Adds $450B/year.
- Land monopolists — Blackstone, Invitation Homes, Amazon's warehouse land banks, private equity portfolios — bought up America's housing while young families were priced out.
- A 1% Land Value Tax on major landholdings hits the Cartel where they can't hide it: land can't be moved offshore. Owner-occupied homes and working farms exempt. Adds $180B/year.
- Total US land value is roughly $30-40 trillion. With reasonable exemptions, the taxable base is $15-20 trillion — heavily concentrated in the hands of the same institutions that own Congress.
- Milton Friedman called the LVT "the least bad tax." Joseph Stiglitz calls it the most efficient. It doesn't distort behavior — it just makes hoarders pay for what they hoard.
Market recognition —
the interest rate collapse
- The U.S. currently pays a 3.4% blended interest rate on nearly $32T of debt — $1.1T a year, more than the entire defense budget.
- The moment markets see America on a credible path to zero national debt, sovereign risk premiums collapse. Treasuries become the safest asset on Earth again.
- Historical precedent: countries that credibly commit to debt paydown see 1-2 percentage points shaved off borrowing costs within 24 months. Every point saves $300B/year.
- The Federal Reserve follows the bond market down. They always do.
- Rates drop from 3.4% to ~1.9% as maturing debt refinances. Interest savings become additional principal paydown. The snowball accelerates.
- By Year 11, the debt is retired. The annual interest bill collapses from $1T to zero. That money flows back to taxpayers through pro-rata tax cuts.
Debt held by public: $31.7T to zero.
Eleven years. Debt-free.
| Year | Treasury Revenue | Deficit Covered | Principal Paid | Debt Remaining | Rate |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Year 1 | $3.54T | $1.40T | $2.14T | $29.56T | 1.9% |
| Year 2 | $3.60T | $1.36T | $2.24T | $27.32T | 1.9% |
| Year 3 | $3.85T | $1.32T | $2.53T | $24.79T | 1.9% |
| Year 4 | $3.95T | $1.27T | $2.68T | $22.11T | 1.9% |
| Year 5 | $4.10T | $1.22T | $2.88T | $19.23T | 1.9% |
| Year 6 | $4.30T | $1.17T | $3.13T | $16.10T | 1.9% |
| Year 7 | $4.50T | $1.11T | $3.39T | $12.71T | 1.9% |
| Year 8 | $4.75T | $1.04T | $3.71T | $9.00T | 1.9% |
| Year 9 | $5.00T | $0.97T | $4.03T | $4.97T | 1.9% |
| Year 10 | $5.25T | $0.89T | $4.36T | $0.61T | 1.9% |
| Year 11 | $5.50T | $0.81T | $0.61T | $0 | 1.9% |
By 2037:
zero national debt.
Once the debt is paid off, tax rates get reduced pro rata — cut proportionally across the board — to whatever level simply keeps the federal budget balanced. No new spending sprees. No permanent overtaxation. The wealthy paid their fair share to clean up the mess they created.
Everyone benefits from lower taxes on the other side.
The Fed may resist. The market will win.
When the Ellsworth Administration takes office, the Fed may resist. They would not want rates to fall because their owners, the big WALL STREET BANKS, profit from higher rates on the trillions of dollars of debt currently issued and outstanding. That's how the bankers on WALL STREET make money — taking it from others by charging high interest rates on debt.
Additionally, the largest owners of housing in America are so entangled with the member banks who own the Fed, it could be argued they are in reality partners in a Cartel that operates the housing market as a monopoly — one that wanted rates to double to keep housing unaffordable for younger Americans, forcing them into being renters, so their Cartel could extract more money from America's working class.
That is the primary problem in America today. A small group of Billionaire Robber Barons have bought up everything and operate their businesses as ruthless monopolies, extracting every last dime of profit possible from working Americans.
It would be the Ellsworth Administration's stance that once the international bond market saw that America was paying down its debt, beginning at $1.5 trillion a year, the international markets would force rates down as they again see American paper as the premier financial asset in the world — whether the Fed wanted to cooperate or not.
One America
United

Immigration Policy
I want the most secure borders we can possibly have. Building the WALL was one of the few things President Trump has done that I agree with. I do not want anyone coming to this country illegally. No one who has not been thoroughly vetted should be allowed to sneak in.
At the same time, I also want to be the most welcoming country in the world. Welcoming to those who want to come here for a better life and want to do so legally.
As to the people who already live here and have for years, and who are undocumented, they need to be given a clear and simple path to legal residency and citizenship.
The manner in which we have dealt with such people historically is mean and inhumane and it has been done on purpose since the founding of our country. It has been left unchanged to frighten such people, so they keep their heads down to avoid deportation. They are then used as a form of slave labor, that is paid much less than anyone else. It is complete and total BS. As President I would change it immediately and permanently.
Anyone who has lived here for two years or more, who has not been engaged in any type of serious criminal behavior, which would not include something like a minor traffic violation, will immediately be given a clear and simple path to permanent residency and citizenship. They are contributing valuable members of our community and should be treated as such.
Additionally, anyone who tries to enter the country illegally or who attempts to stay by perhaps overstaying their visa or sneaking in, will spend something along the lines of: No less than six months in jail, and be immediately deported thereafter and not be allowed to reapply for citizenship for a minimum of ten years, to dissuade people from trying such things in the future.
Additionally, everything the US government does under my presidency would be 100% transparent.
Tax Policy
No one has ever gotten rich by himself or herself. They have gotten rich by selling goods and/or services to the other members of our society and by using the infrastructure that our tax dollars have collectively built.
What we call an “exceptional banker” nowadays is just someone who has figured out 1000 different ways to steal more money from you. 30% interest on credit cards. Fees of all shapes and sizes, and a new one every month. When I was a kid, they would have been in jail for breaking our USURY laws, which are now almost non-existent. A slow normalization of theft. Everything has become a monthly subscription, with yearly increases.
A small group of mega billionaires now own and operate almost everything. Our housing, including the student housing at our universities, our food, our commercial real estate, and the small and large businesses operating on that real estate, our hospitals, and health insurance companies. They have bought up everything and then rent or sell it to back us at the highest price possible. If they could figure out a way to rent our clothing to us, they would do that too. We live in an EXTRACTION economy. Our government has become a government of LITERAL THIEVES.
Our business leaders all operate as MONOPOLIES. They are not geniuses. It’s not that many of them aren’t very bright, inventive people. They are, but in many cases the only thing they have invented are better ways to conceal and hide how they steal money from their neighbors. They have become collectively the modern day KING AND HIS COURT, which is what this Country fought the Revolutionary War to separate from.
I would create an progressive tax code that would require the people who make the most (both individuals and Corporations) to pay the largest percentage of their income in taxes. I would do away with the loopholes ~ and even more importantly I would prudently spend taxpayers’ dollars far more wisely than is being done now. Until we got our deficits paid. Then everyone would get large tax breaks.
AFFORDABLE HIGHER EDUCATION - ABOLISHMENT OF STUDENT DEBT
I have written legislation that would create a National Higher Educational System including Skilled Trades based on our current Community College System. You can read it below.
Allowing predatory lenders on Wall Street to place large amounts of student debt onto the backs of our young people has turned the nation’s young adults into INDENTURED ECONOMIC SLAVES ~ many for the rest of their lives. It is a barbaric practice that needs to be abolished NOW.
Most of our currently elected members of Congress are complicit in creating the current system of higher education we have in this country. They have passed laws that have raised the interest rates that can be charged on Student Loans to as high as 20%. The sitting members of Congress who voted for this to happen, should not continue to be in Congress in my opinion.
As President, I would reduce, forgive, and find ways to pay off most of the student debt that currently exists and get the bill I have written, passed and would be open to any Amendments or additions that could make it better:
THE AMERICAN NATIONAL HIGHER EDUCATION AND SKILLED TRADES ACT OF 2026
This bill should be passed and made into law so our children can become as educated as they possibly can, which I see as one of the best and most important investments we could make as a country. Investing in the education of our children should be a National Priority.
It would be under my Presidency.
THE SOLUTION TO PLASTIC POLLUTION
Every man reading this has micro-plastics in his testicles and brain. Every woman reading this has micro-plastics in her brain and if she were pregnant would most likely have micro-plastics in her placenta and breast milk which would be transferred to her newborn child.
EVERYONE HAS MICRO-PLASTICS IN THEIR BODIES.
Why? We all know why. Because Coke, Pepsi, and Nestle have polluted every major river and all of our oceans with micro-plastics for decades. These three companies have topped the global Break Free From Plastic brand audit as the world’s worst plastic polluters for decades.
They are not innocent bystanders to the crisis. They are the crisis. What they have been doing for decades is
A CRIME AGAINST ALL OF HUMANITY
AND THE PEOPLE DOING IT ARE CRIMINALS!
WE NEED TO TREAT THE POLLUTION FOR WHAT IT IS
AND THE PEOPLE CAUSING IT FOR WHAT THEY ARE!
THE SOLUTION:
The C-suites and Boards of Directors of Coca-Cola, PepsiCo, Nestlé, and every other company of similar scale packaging food and beverages in single-use plastic need to be given a choice:
COME UP WITH A PLAN TO STOP USING SINGLE-USE, SINGLE-SERVING PLASTIC WITHIN 12 MONTHS, WHETHER IT’S GLASS, ALUMINUM CANS, REFILLING TECHNOLOGY AND PLANS, TRULY COMPOSTABLE MATERIAL, OR A COMBINATION OF SUCH THINGS — AND BEGIN IMPLEMENTING IT WITH A FULL CONVERSION AND PHASING OUT OF SINGLE-USE PLASTIC WITHIN 18 – 24 MONTHS — OR SPEND THE NEXT 25 YEARS OF THEIR LIVES IN A FEDERAL PRISON.
THAT IS THE SOLUTION AND IT ALWAYS HAS BEEN. IT’S TIME TO DO IT!
___________________________________
For every pound of plastic produced, 3 pounds of CO2 are created and sent into the atmosphere to warm the planet even more and advance Climate Change. Our bodies and our children’s bodies are filled with microplastics.
MOST OF THE DAMAGE WE HAVE DONE TO THE EARTH HAS OCCURRED OVER THE PAST 50 YEARS. THINK ABOUT THAT. THE EARTH HAS BEEN AROUND FOR 4.2 BILLION BUT WE HAVE TURNED IT INTO A PLASTIC GARBAGE DUMP IN JUST THE LAST 50.
1974 WAS THE FIRST YEAR COKE CAME UP WITH THE IDEA TO PUT SINGLE SERVINGS OF THEIR PRODUCTS IN PLASTIC CONTAINERS AND SINCE THAT TIME THEY, WITH THE HELP OF PEPSI AND NESTLE, HAVE POLLUTED THE EARTH SO BADLY THAT OUR CLIMATE HAS WARMED SO MUCH THAT IT IS THREATENING OUR VERY EXISTANCE ~ AND OUR BODIES AND THE BODIES OF OUR CHILDREN ARE NOW FILLED WITH PLASTIC. ALL SO THE PEOPLE RUNNING THESE COMPANIES CAN MAKE MORE MONEY.
ALL OF THAT WILL END WITH MY PRESIDENCY.
Americans are plagued with chronic diseases. Microplastics are believed to cause chronic inflammation in many parts of the body. They contain known carcinogens, including BPA, phthalates, vinyl chloride and styrene. They cannot be broken down by the human body and are believed to be associated with everything from chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) to an increased risk of heart attacks, dementia and Alzheimer’s.
Think about it. Gobs of microplastics are hanging out in our bodies in our tissues, and some of the smaller ones known as nano-plastics are actually entering our cells. The human body cannot break them down, so they are seen as FOREIGN INVADERS by our immune systems, which cause inflammation that never goes away as the body tries to get rid of them. The inflammation becomes chronic because the body can’t get rid of what it sees as a foreign invader so the inflammation is never turned off.
The leaders of Coca-Cola, PepsiCo, and Nestlé know that plastic pollution they have created is killing everything in our rivers and oceans and that it has entered our bodies, polluting every one of us, yet still they do nothing to stop it.
THEY ARE CHOOSING TO CONTINUE TO POLLUTE OUR ENVIRONMENT AND BODIES!
IT IS A CONSCIOUS DECISION BECAUSE THEY DO NOT CARE ABOUT YOU. THEY CARE ABOUT MAKING MONEY!
What they are doing is a direct violation of the Responsible Corporate Officer doctrine, which American courts have used since United States v. Park in 1975 to hold executives personally criminally liable for their companies’ violations of public welfare statutes — the Clean Water Act, the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act, the Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act.
Executives already go to prison for willfully contaminating a single river. There is no principled reason the CEOs and the Boards of the three largest plastic polluters on the planet should not face the same exposure for willfully contaminating Every River.
The reason they continue to do it is because our political leaders do nothing to stop them. Coca-Cola, PepsiCo, and Nestlé spend generational fortunes on political donations, lobbying, and philanthropy-washing designed to ensure no meaningful statute ever reaches a floor vote. Both parties take their money. Both parties protect them. Meaning:
YOUR ELECTED LEADERS IN CONGRESS ALLOW THEM TO CONTINUE TO POISON YOU AND YOUR CHILDREN.
MAKE ME PRESIDENT AND IT WILL END IMMEDIATELY
GETtING MONEY OUT OF POLITICS
Citizens United has decimated politics in America since the Supreme Court, led by Chief Justice Roberts, ruled that corporations are people in 2010. They most certainly are NOT people and only a court filled with men and women who have been bribed and who are not faithful to their oath of office to protect and preserve the Constitution would ever rule that corporations were people. The decision has led to an almost complete takeover of our politics and our country by a group of Uber-wealthy oligarchs doing everything they can to overthrow the government of the United States and destroy the democratic principles this country was founded upon. At least two of those Justices should be impeached for tax evasion and sent to jail where they should be for their treasonous behavior.
As a country, we have worried since the ruling, that it would take an almost complete overhaul of the Supreme Court to reverse it, but the state of Hawaii has found a way to rectify the problem and reverse the atrocious decision at a state level. All they did was pass a statute saying that: “No Hawaiian corporation or any foreign corporation doing business within the state of Hawaii may contribute to political campaigns.” It was that simple. Now we simply have to get enough other states to do the same thing and the nightmare will be over. You can read about it here: https://apnews.com/article/corporate-campaign-money-citizens-united-hawaii-71a28bc7e8f6e0279b31e999f222519a
I WOULD ALSO ENCOURAGE OUR NATIONAL CONGRESS AND THE VARIOUS STATE LEGISLATURES TO WRITE AND PASS LEGISLATION TO BAN CORPORATE PARTICIPATION IN OUR ELECTIONS AND I WOULD SIGN ANY SUCH LEGISLATION THAT WAS SENT TO ME BY CONGRESS TO BE SIGNED.
I WOULD ALSO ENCOURAGE A NATIONAL LAW TO DO THE SAME TO GET RID OF CORPORATE MONEY IN OUR POLITICS ONCE AND FOR ALL
BAN CORPORATE OWNERSHIP OF HOUSING
There is already a bill in Congress that would do this. It is H.R. 1745. It was introduced by Representative Adam Smith of Washington State on February 27, 2025, which is my birthday. It would change the Tax Code so that any corporate entity that owned more than 50 homes would be taxed heavily and requires that they begin selling off the homes that they own over a 10 year period.
You can read the bill as currently in Congress here:
https://www.congress.gov/bill/119th-congress/house-bill/1745/text
I would amend the bill to force said corporate entities to sell the homes they own within five years and would add mandatory prison terms of 10 years for the C – Suites and Boards who fail to do so and who are the “beneficial owners” of more than 50 homes and who fail to disclose their beneficial ownership. The mandatory jail sentences of 10 years would scare them badly enough to be honest.
I would do this because there has been a buying syndicate that both BlackRock and Blackstone are part of that has been working together since as early as 2012 to buy up as many homes as they can. They often use “nominees” to do that. A nominee is a person who is the owner of an asset on paper, but that asset is really owned by someone else. An example of this would be the young people who advertise on TV and social media saying that they will Buy Your Home for Cash. Someone is funding such people. It is the same group of billionaires that have bought up every other house in the country and across Europe that is not owned by the person living in it.
THIS IS SERIOUS STUFF. IF AMERICANS DON’T WAKE UP AND BECOME POLITICALLY ACTIVE NOW, THESE PEOPLE ARE GOING TO SHUT EVERYTHING DOWN AND BRING AMERICA TO ITS KNEES.
MAKE 3 PHONE CALLS NOW. ONE TO YOUR REP IN THE HOUSE AND ONE TO EACH OF YOUR SENATORS AND DEMAND THAT THEY SPONSOR AND SUPPORT THIS BILL AND WE COULD SOLVE THE HOUSING PROBLEM IN A MATTER OF WEEKS.
DO THE SAME FOR H.R. 3069, AND WE COULD HAVE MEDICARE FOR ALL IN A MATTER OF WEEKS.
ABOLISH ICE
ICE NEEDS TO BE ABOLISHED
Ice needs to be abolished immediately and the people who executed Mr. Pretti and Ms. Good in MN and Mr. Ararujo in Houston and Mr. Guerrero in Maine need to be brought to trial, as do the leaders of those organizations at the time of the executions. I personally believe that the two people killed in MN could have been selected beforehand because they were both gay. I find that too coincidental to be a coincidence. It should be investigated.
It is also clear from the videos being taken by citizens all over the country that the employees of ICE had been told that it was okay to behave as they did because they were behaving in the same manner in many different places, including breaking into homes without probable cause or judicial warrants, all of which were violations of U.S. Law.
A complete list of all who have died while in the custody of ICE also needs to be made and the people responsible need to be brought to justice.
Any reasonable person could deduce that Donald Trump has tried to form his own militarized police force that reports directly to him and not to any Department of the U.S. Government with the creation of ICE because he is attempting to follow the same playbook that Hitler did with his Brownshirts and that Putin has with his National Guard of Russia. Totalitarian Dictatorship 101! ICE is not about rounding up violent illegal aliens and deporting them.
And I am also not saying that I think there should be no one in charge of finding violent criminals who are here illegally. There should be, but the Border Patrol could be easily expanded to do that.
