Sarah’s plan to save us from hardworking immigrants

Governor Sarah Sanders is working hard to make Arkansas a state where local cops can moonlight as ICE agents in their free time. That’s right! More overworked law enforcement officers doubling as immigration enforcers. What could go wrong?

The Arkansas GOP has outdone itself once again, pushing a bill that forces local law enforcement to cooperate with ICE, ensuring that no hardworking immigrants get away with the heinous crime of trying to build a better life.

To add some extra spice to the xenophobia, Sarah + Friends also want to make “harboring illegal aliens” a felony. So, if your grandma lets some undocumented immigrants borrow a cup of sugar, she’s basically a cartel leader.

Governor Sanders (never one to let a terrible idea go unexplored) is fully on board with turning Arkansas police into ICE’s hall monitors. Goodbye community trust. Hello immigration raids during traffic stops.

The beauty of this proposal lies in its sheer efficiency. Instead of focusing on real problems, Arkansas police can now dedicate their time and resources to identifying a true menace: migrants who take the thankless, low-paying jobs that others won’t. Arkansas is not a state not exactly swimming in surplus labor, so we’re sure the new policy will do wonders for the economy…

Of course, no Sanders-backed initiative would be complete without a hearty dose of hypocrisy. The GOP, the self-proclaimed champions of “small government,” are now mandating that local law enforcement do the federal government’s job. Don’t worry! It’s totally different from when they scream about federal overreach in literally every other context.

“Protect and serve” but only if you have the right papers. Jesus, take the wheel. Please?
