ICE Struggles to Hire, Even After Lowering Moral Standards
The mainstream media breathlessly reports on ICE's struggle to find recruits, even after softening hiring requirements for officers to include those with certain prior misconduct. This opinion piece raises questions about DHS recruitment strategies, completely sidestepping *why* fewer people might want a job described by numerous human rights organizations as involving widespread abuses, family
separations, and inhumane detention conditions. Perhaps the plummeting public image of an agency whose agents are often seen raiding homes and tearing families apart isn't the best recruiting tool, even with relaxed standards. One might wonder if the 'struggle' is less about hiring and more about the declining allure of a career spent enforcing policies that repeatedly draw international
condemnation. Funny how MSNBC frames this as a bureaucratic hurdle, rather than a symptom of a morally bankrupt mission. (Maybe they should check LinkedIn, there's always a market for uncritical enforcement.)
