The Department of Homeland Security is scrapping age limits for new Immigration and Customs Enforcement recruits as it ramps up hiring with a major funding boost from Congress.

Previously, applicants had to be at least 21 and no older than 37 or 40, depending on the role within the agency tasked with locating, arresting and detaining noncitizens lacking legal status. Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem told Fox & Friends that applicants as young as 18 could now be "trained and ready."

but my guess is the bourgeoise is now concerned only with what's going on here and not abroad anymore.

Their foreign policy, including the constant warmongering against China, says otherwise.

Yeah, idk where people get the idea that America is being isolationist, they want a war with China ASAP

[-] JoeByeThen@hexbear.net 8 points 5 days ago

I think people are confusing 'isolate the American people' with isolationist.

[-] SorosFootSoldier@hexbear.net 17 points 5 days ago

Maybe, idk I really don't see a su*cudal war against China on the cards rn

Just because they realize starting a war right now would be suicidal, doesn't mean they are not concerned. They are absolutely concerned, otherwise they wouldn't be constantly making strategic deals to try and isolate China, and they wouldn't continue spreading the same propaganda that they've been spreading for years. Thinking that the US empire suddenly only cares about domestic matters now is a mistake when the regime is literally staffed with warmongers like Rubio who make mask-off comments about their intentions.

there's nothing else on the cards, the empire needs new meat and there's scarcely anything left on the carcasses of their own nations. is it suicidal? world-ending? well that's what the private islands and bunkers are for

constant warmongering against China

Is it just me or does it seem like MAGA has kinda cooled off on that a bit. I haven't seen either Trump or any CHUD online mention China in a while, if anything Iran seems to be their new foreign boogie man and even then it seems they've all pivoted to focusing on domestic issues.
