one underrated knock on of all this money flowing is how much addition harm underscreened agents will almost invariably do, even if not under direct fash orders. There's no shortage of evidence from e.g. Miami in the 90s or CBP in the 2000s that hiring surges lead to more corruption and misconduct.
