Report: ICE New Hires Can 'Barely Read Or Write English'

Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem's rush to bolster the number of ICE agents on the streets means applicants who can "barely read or write" are being accepted, according to a new report. ... "We have people failing open-book tests and we have folks that can barely read or write English," one DHS official told the [Daily Mail].

Hello babies. Welcome to Trumplandia.

It's hot in the summer and cold in the winter. It's round and wet and crowded. On the outside, babies, you've got a hundred years here. There's only one rule that I know of, babies-"God damn it, you've got to deport them nasty immigrants!"

Hannah Arendt has lots of great quotes and thoughts to her credit.

And among the relationships in her life.

AI:

Martin Heidegger: A famously passionate, complex affair during her student years; he was her professor, lover, and later, a Nazi sympathizer, a fact she confronted but ultimately reconciled with in a unique way, using her influence to help his reputation.

What about in their home languages?

Actually, low literacy in home languages is also a problem because of lack of access to education there, given domestic turmoil or oppressive governments.

Damn those immigrants for wanting education for their children. The horrors!

#14 Well, a 16% functionally illiterate rate in the UK certainly beats the 61% functionally illiterate rate at the University of Kentucky.

#15 Yes, obesity is a significant problem in the UK and in the USA.

But, an even more pressing problem is o lou leai atoa o se atamai po o se isi lava mea e foliga tutusa ma se tagata soifua masani.

25. You highlighted the wrong words.

Maladaptive for modern diets.

Modern diets are killing everybody.

Bouncers are probably some of the dumbest people but those security types are great for tackling and beating down illegals and stupid leftists trying to prevent them from being deported

...and we all know how that one turned out.
