TV ads recruiting ICE on college football games

[mnhtnbb]

I was clicking through college football games just now, looking for an interesting game. Landed on NC State (14) v Virginia Tech(13). I'm not a fan of either school, but it's a good game.

Commercial break comes on and I was flabbergasted to see it was a recruiting ad for ICE, offering $50, 000. signing bonuses.
WTF? I don't watch much commercial TV, and so far this season I haven't seen any of these ads for ICE aired during other college or pro football games.

Have any of you seen them? College? Pro? What part of the country?

The game is being aired on CW.

1. I've seen at least 7-8 of those ads in the past

3 weeks. $50,000 signing bonus. Yeah right, a year from now when all the undocumented folks are gone, what are the goons gonna do for work?

5. Damned if that isn't the right question to be asking: "a year from now... what are the goons gonna do for work?"

What indeed?
One thing is certain: they will have work.

6. CIA

The CIA was almost exclusively Ivy League from the OSS to its transformation to the CIA (Poppa Bush)

ICE needs “officer types”. Colbert’s crowd isn’t just Ivy League of course but they (we) are way more likely to have a college degree. Oh, don’t forget the white part. Ivy League

4. How much is this costing the country?

They’re paying for the commercial time presumedly..
They just ruined my preseason hockey game with that shit.

In Chicago - CHSN

7. BBB gave ICE more money than the FBI DEA & ATF ....combined

ICE is throwing money around

8. I've gotten pop up ads for ICE

In my feeds online.
Really creepy.

15. That's the ad I saw last night

during the NC State v Virginia Tech game being played in Raleigh, NC. I live in Durham, NC.

11. I've seen those ads during NFL games.

12. Your tax dollars hard at work.

13. To young "disaffected" men, like most shooters, $50K plus a job with authority and guns probably sounds good.

And, the ads scare innocent immigrants here or elsewhere.

14. Student loan forgiveness also offered

I noticed the second time the ad aired. I was so stunned when I saw it the first time, the loan forgiveness in smaller print didn't register.

It seemed to me they were targeting former military members as recruits.
