I prefer to keep my guns unpolished.  They look more menacing that way.
Intended targets won't see them from where I'm at.But you have a point even if it's just to reduce glare

I suspect if Biden wins, they might rename ICE, sort of like how defunding police really means cutting their budget one year by 2%, and then putting it back the next year, or how the Cambden police were defunded completely.

It's pretty easy to fool a lot of folks into thinking you did something when you move deck chairs around.

It's a bit like Trump's wall thing which he famously promised.  I stated at the time he means to build some wall somewhere, probably replacing parts that have deteriorated mostly, and getting a photo op to imply the entire border is now walled in.

Politicians say stuff but rather often they don't actually do much.

That depends on where you sit.  The Obama administration was actually quite aggressive on immigration, though they had a somewhat coherent policy of going after people with criminal records.  The Trump policy, as one might expect, has been all over the place, and as a result, ICE and various anti-immigration efforts have become unpopular, especially among Democrats.  Because of the general dysfunction in Congress, executive actions have been much more important on immigration issues, and this is a place with a pretty wide gap between what Democrats and Republicans would do.  So if you are an immigrant, there may be some big changes.

Which is why I don't want government involved in any solution.

Change you can believe in. Let's start with this:

Requirements of New Zealand Immigration
For being eligible to apply for the New Zealand Immigration, you have to meet the requirements:
a) You should be less than 55 years of age.
b) The applicant has to meet the health and character requirements.
c) You have to meet the English language proficiency as designed by the New Zealand Immigration authorities.


d) You have to meet the requirement of 100 points in the New Zealand Immigration points system to submit an expression of Interest (EOI).

As I suggested, ICE has bad odor now, so rename them, do the same basic things, change a few items on the margins, and declare victory.

How citizens THINK about how they handled t he pandemic is perhaps interesting but hardly quantitative and relevant to reality.

I would prefer to look at actual hard data as opposed to some opinion poll.

My step grandkids start back to school next week.  That could get interesting.  France is not out of the woods yet.  Macron is rather unpopular.

If you are afraid of people coming to your house and arresting you, the margins could be a rather big deal

It's certainly relevant politically

It probably reflects more how folks see their "President" versus how well the pandemic was handled.  So, the figures reflect political opinions more than any technical assessment of how well the country has fared.

Unpopular head of state means country handled it badly, whether they did or not.
