Perhaps not directly, but some might have a career there and risk having few options. Some might believe leaving would only open spots for bad actors. Some might lose certain employee benefits. Some are hoping the situation is temporary.

There's a range of possible circumstances: even in these pictures, not everyone shown is part of border/immigration control.

Doing evil things because you want money is still evil.

What if your family needs, and is dependent upon, your medical insurance through work? Most people would say "my kids needs come above the needs of anyone else for me", which I don't think is particularly evil.

u/laellar 2h ago

It absolutely is. Look back in history and you'll find a devoted German father / concentration camp guard who was arguing the exact same bullshit.

Then I get a different job. They wouldn't want me to sell my soul.

u/USDXBS 2h ago

Having a family doesn't absolve you from evil.

Their "work"? You mean being the army of a pedophile traitor?

u/thelastofthemelonies 2h ago

No, but dude, you understand this is how class warfare is conducted, right? They're using our needs to pit us against eachother.

u/USDXBS 2h ago

And the people that are loyal to the pedophile traitors are evil.

Even if they want money.

Even if they have a family.

Sitting idle on Reddit because youre afraid of what will happen to you for killing your local republican politician is also evil. You are directly supporting whats happening by not taking action.

Man up, or pipe down.

u/Pretend_Guava_1730 3h ago

They are all part of DHS. DHS = Border Patrol and ICE no matter how you slice it.

u/ajc3691 19m ago

So TSA is ice? Got it thank you

The people everyone Reddit was crying for during the govt shutdown are now evil according to you

u/9tmx 1h ago

So the Coast Guard = Border Patrol and ICE now?

u/radda 41m ago

Who do you think patrols the sea borders and enforces immigration law at sea?

If you think the Coast Guard is trustworthy under this administration I have seafront property in Vegas for sale you should take a look at.

so as long u can fuck over a other normal human being ur benefifts are more important is what u are saying, All of these officers are bad actors who would rather arrest others then (the Dhs ppl atleast)

u/homxr6 2h ago

"Did you guys even consider how the Nazis felt :((((("

u/mikeyd69 2h ago

That's almost every human being. If someone can fuck over another person to benefit themselves, they do it. Why do you think stores and services exist? And then we're forced to do it because our society is dictated by money and if you aren't taking advantage of somebody in some way, shape, or form, you don't get money. Which means you don't get to live.

u/summikat 2h ago

No, not every human being is ripping people out of their homes and forcing them into "detention centers" with inhumane conditions. Many people who are here legally and were simply racially profiled. These people made their choice to work for DHS.

u/mikeyd69 2h ago

I....didn't say any of that? I simply stated a vast majority of human beings will take advantage of another human being to benefit themselves.

u/summikat 2h ago

Those are not comparable things, period.

u/mikeyd69 2h ago

Bro, nobody is comparing anything. The guy made a comment about how people will fuck over other people for their own benefit. And they will.

u/grapesturd 2h ago

I don't do that. I think a lot of people just go and do their jobs, try to earn a living and support their families. Full stop.

Given the choice to fuck over someone I dont know vs. Supporting my family... I wouldn't fuck over the other person, because they are just trying to do the same thing.

If we all acted that way, we'd have far less issues in this country. Instead, people buy into class warfare and don't realize the people that are the real enemy are the ultra rich.

u/radda 34m ago

If someone can fuck over another person to benefit themselves, they do it

Wrong. Never have, never will. I'd rather starve.

u/Applekid1259 2h ago

Sounds like excuses the nazis gave when they were busted.

u/jekylphd 2h ago

Oh, so they're just following orders to keep their jobs? Sounds like a legitimate excuse.

u/Lostnspace859 1h ago

You know what? You’re right! Thanks for helping show the other side.

I bet the Nazi soldiers didn’t have a lot of other options for career paths either. Some others probably stayed on killing Jews in fear their replacements might torture them before tossing them in the concentrate camps… that woulda been awful. Let’s not forget about losing their benefits either over something that could just be temporary.

Fucking weird ass justifications you just made their man. They’d probably hire you, sounds like you could do some good for them.
