    I don’t interpret their response that way.

    As someone who is not in a good financial place, I would never work for ICE.

    However, as someone who is not in a good financial place, if I realized I was probably working for an evil empire and couldn’t change anything from the inside: I wouldn’t be able to quit because my family would starve. I’d need to find another way to provide first, and that’s not easy when you’ve got kids and debt in a bad job market.

    Stocking grocery store shelves wouldn’t pay the bills. That’s fairy tale logic/something that people with means can joke about doing.

    Heck yeah though, if stocking shelves paid 6 figures I’d apply immediately.

      Ok, fair enough. Hopefully the enraged mob will accept this excuse once the evil empire tanks and it’s mass graves are uncovered.

        But hey, at least they will be staying in a so-so house until that happens, so they can act like they are being responsible to their immediate network.
