However that is not their job. Their job is not to just go after the worst of the worst. Its to pick up all the illegals. Getting rhe worst is good and in the process of doing so, they have also found other illegals as well. No where in their mission or the laws are they limited to the worst. They are still focused on that, but they have not abandoned the rest of rheir mission. Nor should they.Why? Because that’s not how resource allocation works.
If you have 100 officers and you tell them to focus on “the worst of the worst,” then that’s what they’re going to do. But if, instead, you give them quotas, then they’re going to grab the easiest targets, i.e. the people who aren’t in hiding because they haven’t committed any other crimes. <100 guys are going to be catching the worst.
IOW, with the current staffing, they would be getting more bad guys without the quotas.
Thats why they are getting more agents. So they can do it all more efficiently. Now you can criticize their training, I have no problem with that.
