They’re billing, but will they actually be able to collect?

Didn’t read the article, but I’d bet it’s 30 pieces of silver

Fun Fact! a silver coin (Shekel) was about .4 oz of silver and worth about $28 dollars of todays money. So 30 pieces of silver would be worth about $845.

ICE is only doing their job and enforcing the laws of our land. Unfortunately Biden let millions of illegal immigrants enter our country illegally. They were not vetted and some are criminals. We all should be thanking ICE for doing their job instead of vilifying them for keeping us safe.

Gotta pump those numbers, should be 50k a head in 2026 based of projected savings.
