That's why they are willing to take US citizens, green card holders, and people with valid work visa's.
When this is all said and done, one of the things that should happen to those ICE-holes is to seize all the money that got for their bounties, plus a two dollar fine for each dollar they got.
Of course they should also receive jail time, appropriate for their for their actions.
