The week's question
In March 2025, in the thread "Re: OT, out", Umm asked the members: "Do you think it is because America is made up of magical soil that makes businesses based in America magically profitable?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

A local radio station has been running an ad read by the puppy killer which is nothing short of a threat to deport people. Apparently there is a video version as well, which DHS is more than happy to share with the world. Here you go:

dhs.gov - Dhs announces ad campaign warning illegal aliens self deport and stay out

If you don't want to listen to it - and I don't blame you for making that choice - the basic intent is to scare people out of the country. The high point is something like: If you don't leave, we will find you, we will deport you, and you will never come back.

It's a downright scary that our government would choose to make such an ad. It's straight out of the authoritarian playbook - scare people into compliance with something that may or may not actually be legal.
