How could you be an ICE agent if you weren't racist?

1. It was a job requirement and DHS targeted them in their recruiting.

I think they actually ran ads in KKK Quarterly.

2. Damn! Really.

3. Maybe you're a psycho sadist who wants to hurt/kill people and get away with it.

That sort would be attracted to that agency too, just because of the opportunity it provides for that sort of thing.

4. You think every person

working customs in every American airport is a racist??

8. ICE

Does ICE work airports customs? I thought TSA did that or customs officers. Maybe I'm wrong.

10. Yes

ICE, in addition to the TSA, handles customs enforcement at our airports.

12. Sounds serious

Good luck!

5. Well being one certainly helps.

Plenty of racist assholes in this country.

6. $50k

That’s what they get paid for just starting. Even if they aren’t racist, a Stanford prison experiment mentality kicks in. They act in packs, like gangs, and absorb one another’s pathology.

7. Depends on who you're talking about

As someone else mentioned the people working at the airport probably not. The on the street teams could be racist, could believe the lies about the immigrant crime rate (which I would differ from those who just hate other races because maybe they just don't know), some could be authoritarian who can't pass the police academy, some are probably in it for the money, some could just be a gung ho on the idea of "coming here legally".
