Truth in advertising.

Hell, they don't even think once about doing what's right. That's twice as good as the ad says.

    So it looks like they'll hire just about anyone

    What's the end goal? Have 99% of the American work force under the DHS?

    And then what?

    If your borders are so tightly controlled, you're going to turn away enough false positives that everything else will crawl to a halt.

    That's in an entirely "efficient" scenario.

    You're hiring people who are desperate for money, i.e. people who are more likely to accept bribes, which just completely undermines this whole stupid system.

    It just seems to me like they're trying to maximise both bureaucracy and immense cruelty. Am I missing something?

    Historically

    1. Get the brownshirts/sturmabteilung

    2. Kristallnacht and pogrom

    This is the history that ICE rhymes with .

    I would say boycott it but after Reddit tanked the Apollo app most of us migrated here.

    I mean, it is true that they never think about doing the right thing. But it’s a weird thing to be bragging about.

    Makes sense. If you need fascists, advertise on a website run by and for fash.

    Ready to wear the badge?

    Oh please, everyone knows ice agents dont have badges. You can just dress like one, blend right in, and start barking unconstitutional orders. No training required.

    Yes, they don't think about what's right. They just do, like a good goon should be.

    It’s like those scam emails that are obviously fake. The sloppy writing isn’t by mistake. It filters out the people who would question it, leaving only those who don’t read carefully or think critically. What seems like incompetence is the strategy.

    This ad works the same way.

    “Never think twice about doing what’s right” sounds like a call for decisiveness, but it's a call for impulsivity. If you never think twice, you never pause to consider whether what you’re being asked to do is actually right. You never weigh legality. You never examine morality. You simply obey.

    They’re not looking for people who act ethically. They’re looking for people who won’t question.

    They don’t want judgment. They want compliance.

    If you stopped to think about what this ad implies, you’ve already proven you’re not the kind of person they’re trying to recruit.

    This is not ICE. CBP is Customs and Border Protection. They deal directly with the border and other entry points like airports, border crossing and ports. The easiest example of what they do is to point you towards the movie The Terminal. In that movie, Tom Hanks plays an Eastern European, Viktor Navorski (fictional country) who gets denied entry to the U.S. upon arrival when a government coup sees his visa invalidated mid flight. The film depicts head of CBP at JFK airport in New York, in a struggling battle to keep Hank’s character in the international terminal, the only legal area he can occupy after determining that they can’t send him back amid a civil war which the U.S. has yet to recognize a formal government. The conflict directly centered around the recognition of his country’s government. While in mid flight to the U.S. the civil war began and the government was dissolved. Upon landing at JFK, he no longer had valid paperwork to enter the U.S. After determining he could not enter the country legally, it is made frighteningly clear that without a government that the U.S. recognizes, he could not legally be returned home either. The movie depicts Viktor’s struggle to continue his life inside the international thermal of JFK, awaiting the day he can finally leave.

    Immigration and Customs Enforcement deal with immigration and customs enforcement. So this organization works inside the borders of the country. They deal with immigration and customs violations, and trafficking and cross-border crimes.

    These are not the same organizations and they serve different purposes. Both fall under the authority of the Department of Homeland Security. People are conflating the two organizations since they deal with the legality of being in the United States but they have different methods of operation.

    EDIT: CBP try to stop you from entering the country. ICE try to eject you once you have gotten inside.

    yeah, because things in this country are definitely operating normally and within standard regulations and procedures. definitely only ice doing the bad things and cbp definitely hasn't been right there alongside ice kidnapping people for months...

    lol

    also looks to me like you used an llm to write this.

    Fantastic movie - one of my favorites. Tom Hanks as Victor is just full of pathos.

    Agreed on the ICS/CBP distinction. Probably CBP is hiring because ICe keeps poaching their staff!

    Yes, it is an excellent movie. My favorite of all the Hanks movie I have seen.

    Unless you are actively traveling from outside the country, you won't ever be encountering CBP.

    Reddit in 2016: "Facebook has ruined the country. They accepted $25k in ads from Vladimir Putin and totally upended the election."

    Reddit in 2025:

    Most people here have probably stopped using reddit. Getting most people to stop is so difficult. Not even this would move the needle.
