    Yes they'll pay it as soon as they're deported

    I bet it's preparation for putting people in camps domestically to "work off their debt".

    The US wants more slaves.

    Yeah it's this. Indentured servitude.

    Yeah, wtf?

    Unless it'll be used against any family members still here?

    Sounds like they're probably going to go nuts with imprisoning debtors, probably both citizens and immigrants, as well as the mentally ill, and use them as forced labor.

    Debt is (basically almost always) not transferrable 😊.

    Like unless your parents are in debt and have an estate and leave you that estate can you really be in a situation where someone's debt becomes your problem.

    Cosigning loans and the person defaulting or marriage to someone who is in debt

    If you cosign a loan, you're literally taking on the responsibility of that debt every bit as much as the person actually getting the money. Not really the same thing. Also if you marry someone who already has debt before you guys married, in most states that debt does not become your responsibility after marriage.

    Correct. My ex had student loan debt before we got married, and she tried to get me to "help" her with it during our divorce. I'm glad I didn't.

    How do they expect to collect?

    Most "wealth" is digital. And repossessing physical goods is a huge industry.

    I would hazard a guess that undocumented people rely much more heavily on cash (though that is just a guess, do correct me if I'm wrong). And they'll take the property whether there's a "fine" levied or not, so I'm just not seeing the point here.

    Oh, wait. It's not a logical point, it's a "the base will eat this up" point.

    Might be why they want to deport people so much. Their wealth isn't going to seize itself.

    I'm shocked it wasn't $14.88, the My Pillow Rate.

    So that's how they're paying to detain people in El Salvador? The US is paying El Salvador $6 million per year to illegally detain immigrants indefinitely

    Same for the eandom citizens they are also telling to leave?

    Maybe that's the point. Citizens aren't going to deport themselves, so it's just a really random extortion racket. Or maybe it's not random, but so far it's unclear whether all the people receiving those letters have anything in common.

    $1000 a day must be some sort of line they cannot cross without the courts or congress involved--and they're actually staying under it?
