It’s your time, pardoned patriots, constitutional sheriffs, militia bros, dudes, and other DEI victims.
The big, beautiful bill has your back and your future. The act President Trump signed into law on the 4th of July with full-throated support from the Republican Congress is about to open up 10,000 jobs for you and others wanting to fulfill his perceived mandate for mass deportations.

As the Heritage Foundation's Lora Ries, one of Fox News’ experts, told viewers, this is not about “just the worst of the worst but any kind.” Gone is that old, tired game plan.
“The game changer is the resources for ICE,” she proclaimed. ICE, with the HESTAFO (Homeland Security Task Forces) behind it, can now go after “any deportable alien, whether they’ve overstayed a visa,” anything - 10,000 more agents and 100,000 more detention beds. $30 billion dollars.
“Congress said ICE can use the money to hire additional deportation officers and other staff; retain current personnel through bonuses; increase transportation assets supporting deportation efforts; and expand and facilitate agreements that allow state and local officials to enforce federal immigration laws,” according to CBS News. After all, immigrants are trespassers and squatters, all illegals either when they entered the country or when they overstayed their visas. Paying taxes doesn’t take that away.
Like other trespassers and squatters, they must face the consequences, be rounded up and deported. To anywhere.
There are thousands of people needing jobs. Maybe they’ll be decent folks whose MAGA pedigree can be vouched for, are trained in law enforcement or the military, and will find it wearisome to have to pledge allegiance to a government that dehumanizes immigrants and deifies their leader. I pray that will be the case.
They may be up against a culture of pardoned January 6th insurrectionists (there are 1,500 of them), hundreds of constitutional sheriffs whose oaths give them supreme power over shepherding God's land, according to Jessica Pishko, author of The Highest Law in the Land, countless MAGAs who feel deeply that immigrants and those favored by diversity, equity, and inclusion have grievously cut in line ahead of them and need to be returned to where they belong, more than a hundred statewide and local armed militias, not even counting the national poster militiamen like The Oath Keepers and the Three Percenters, and regular Joes with histories of domestic abuse.
No matter who’s hired, the mission is clear. Trump’s HESTAFO is committed to exponentially improving on its trumped up, grossly exaggerated, “preposterous,” and selective numbers of arrests and deportations. according to Syracuse University’s Transactional Records Access Clearinghouse’s (TRAC) report, Trump Claims on Immigration Enforcement: Rhetoric vs Reality, from May.
The report came out weeks before Trump re-launched a tripled up trial balloon, pledging to deport 4 million people over four years. Fox News comforted its MAGA base that Trump directs ICE to expand deportation efforts in America's largest cities. For senior White House aide Stephen Miller, the architect of Trump's immigration crackdown, do the math. It comes to 3,000 arrests per day.
Trump is well aware that his drumbeat to dehumanize immigrants in order to ramp up mass deportations risks backfiring. “In general, Americans’ views of immigration policies have shifted dramatically in the last year,” Gallup’s most recent polling shows — “including among Republicans, who have become much more content with immigration levels since Trump took office but who have also grown more supportive of pathways to citizenship for people in the country illegally,” the Associated Press reported.
A master of diversionary “look over there” techniques, Trump deployed the yearlong celebration of the nation’s 250th anniversary to wrap immigrant farm workers, the farmers who hire them, and immigrant hospitality workers in the flag he hugs.

The Hill quoted Trump extensively:
“I cherish our farmers. And when we go into a farm and we take away people that have been working there for 15 and 20 years, who were good, who possibly came in incorrectly. And what we’re going to do is, we’re going to do something for farmers where we can let the farmer sort of be in charge,” Trump said on Fox News’s “Sunday Morning Futures” with Maria Bartiromo.
“The farmer knows he’s not going to hire a murderer.”
During a speech in Iowa, the president warned that if the farmers do not do a “good job, we’ll throw them out of the country.”
“We’ll let the illegals stay, and we’ll throw the farmer the hell out, okay? Get ready, farmer,” he said.
Later in the month, the Hill reported, “Trump said during an interview on Fox News that a temporary pass would be issued to migrants in the hospitality industry and on farms to allow their employers to have more control.”
Bunk, hokum. Or fast forward to now, a few weeks later, as undocumented farm workers feel “hunted like animals” amid Trump’s immigration raids.
The farm system Trump, Miller, and Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem are investing in is the HESTAFO, which is about to be rife with as many pardoned patriots, constitutional sheriffs, militiamen and aggrieved DEI victims as they can cram into 10,000 jobs in a hurry.
The refugee resettlement program, in comparison, that Trump suspended in his first weeks in office after accusing the agency of failing to have proper procedures to vet applicants could typically take up to three years and involved interviews, background checks, biometric screening, medical screenings, and multi-stage vetting processes designed to ensure the security of both the refugees and the U.S.
Another for instance:
The Chicago Police Department (CPD) vetting process for police officer applicants includes a comprehensive background investigation, a written exam, drug screening, interviews, a polygraph exam, and a physical test. They must also undergo psychological and medical screenings before receiving a formal job offer. If hired, they do not wear masks.
Apparently, unlike the Hestafo, Chicago police are safe on the streets. The criminals they arrest are compliant. Nothing like the HESTAFO. One year ago, from Jan. 21, 2024, to June 30, 2024, Homeland Security reported only 10 assault events. Now, only a year later, with ICE and other federal agents rounding up and arresting people from city to city on a daily basis and pledging to tally 3,000 arrests a day, they’re shocked, shocked to find out there are people resisting indiscriminate arrests. By Homeland Security numbers, they’ve recorded 79 assault events.
Whoa baby, as Homeland Security will tell Fox News, and Fox News will tell you in bold and exclusive fanfare: DHS: Assaults on ICE now up nearly 700% over same time last year: Assaults on ICE officers up 690% this year, DHS reports to Fox News.
Take your time, Homeland Security. The Trump mandate is entitled to vetting befitting a refugee resettlement program or city police departments. We don’t want illegals slipping into the mix, or we could have law enforcement officers who violate federal campaign disclosure laws by secretly siphoning $80,000 into their own companies or people who falsify business records as part of a hush money scheme to influence an election or people convicted of disorderly conduct or trespassing or assault on or interfering with law enforcement officers.
As Border Czar Tom Homan says emphatically, "If we don't show there's consequences,” the problems will never be fixed.
The new 10,000 HESTAFO applicants will know going in that they’ve got pardons in their pockets.
The jobs ad campaign writes itself.
Applicants: You have the opportunity to work for a Homeland Security Secretary who cares about you and your opinions. When Kristi Noem was Governor of South Dakota, she asked her Instagram followers which of three photos of her on horseback should be hung as the official Governor’s portrait in the South Dakota State Capitol?
