1. El Intercambio Presupuestario: ICE vs. Redes de Seguridad Social.
El tema central del debate es la decisión de aumentar drásticamente la financiación de ICE, a menudo triplicando o cuadriplicando su presupuesto, mientras se implementan recortes masivos a programas de asistencia alimentaria (SNAP) y atención médica (Medicaid). Los críticos señalan que el dinero existe, pero se está destinando a prioridades equivocadas.
- 75 billion to ice and people are having their snap benefits cut 75 billion to ice and people are going bankrupt trying to get healthcare 75 billion for the fascist deportation machine while american children go hungry.
- The government could defund ice and pay full snap benefits instead. The money exists, its just going to all the wrong things.
- In case you were wondering what's behind the massive cuts to medicare, medicaid and snap, it's to give billions of to fund ice.
- The money that is being ripped away from medicaid, snap (food assistance), clean energy, and medical research, is being handed to ice on a gold platter.
- They are tripling ice’s budget which is way more than it cost for insurance & snap benefits.
2. La Militarización de ICE y el Costo Humano.
La expansión de ICE se percibe como la creación de una "policía secreta" o "Gestapo", con presupuestos que superan los de otras agencias federales e incluso ejércitos extranjeros. La indignación se intensifica por los grandes bonos de contratación ofrecidos a los agentes de ICE, mientras que los trabajadores federales esenciales y los beneficiarios de SNAP sufren la falta de fondos.
- Ice will be flush with taxpayers' money . Guess republicans are using medicaid and snap cuts to buy cages, camouflage & guns.
- Ice will see its budget skyrocket so they can perform endless raids and build concentration camps. The bill needs to die.
- Ice is now the nation's largest law enforcement. Medicad is cut & snap benefits for those who need it are cut as well. Tax cuts are now made for the top 1% in our country.
- Ice agents getting paid during the shutdown while air traffic controllers are not, along with snap benefits not being paid out, fully captures the cruelty, and the hateful immorality of trump, his enablers, and the maga diehards.
- Working families lose out on vital programs like snap and medicaid all to give ice more funding for their cruelty.
- Ice is now the largest law enforcement agency in the country. Supercharged with snap and medicaid dollars.
3. La Absurdidad Financiera de la Detención Migratoria.
Se critica la ineficiencia económica de priorizar la detención. Las comparaciones de costos demuestran que el gasto anual por detenido en centros de ICE (a menudo 130,000 a 150,000 dólares) es exponencialmente mayor que el costo de proporcionar asistencia alimentaria a una persona a través de SNAP (aproximadamente 2,200 a 2,500 dólares al año).
- Ice detention costs approximately 150k/year per inmate. Now multiply with 10 million. No wonder theres money left for medicare, medicaid, cancer research, snap, usaid, etc.
- 2/14. 45 billion for ice detention could instead: feed 40 million americans for nearly a year through snap fund cancer and medical research for an entire year provide heating assistance to vulnerable families for over a decade end homelessness in america.
- The cost of detaining a migrant in trump’s concentration camp is 130,00 a year, while it costs about 2,500 to give a person snap/food assistance for a year. It’s not only cruel/inhumane to do this, but stupid.
- If we took about 12 of ices current budget itd pay for snap for the entire year. Or just undid the tax cuts for the wealthy. Snap costs 100byear. Ice is 170byear currently, latest round of tax cuts were 112b.
- The entirety of the snap program is less than 80 billion. We can feed every hungry person in america for less than the budget for one year of ice.
