If you want to know how quickly the government justifies its own existence to the point where people cannot even imagine an alternative, consider this:

ICE has only existed since 2003. When people say “abolish ICE,” they are often immediately accosted by people asking them what we would do then, because what about border security and illegal immigrants and how can you say that this organization just shouldn’t exist, what even is the alternative, etc.

ICE has only been around for 15 years and some people are already acting like it is just an inevitable fact of existence and there is no alternative. Think about what that means.
