Is GitHub a hug part of what ICE ... does?

Personally I wouldn't want to work for a company actually detaining people, but call me terrible but I'm not sure I'd feel the same about letting them pay to host some code...

This is a genuine question. I want to immigrate to USA, but currently there is no easy way to immigrate to USA. On the contrary Canada has a fair immigration system that allowed me to stay, work and eventually be citizen.

Why don't people push for a fair immigration system in USA instead of abolishing ICE? What exactly am I missing here?

The USA has the most immigrants than any other country in the world at almost 47 million residents. That's 4 times higher than the second place country. And the vast majority of them came perfectly legally. For every one person that immigrates to Canada, 6 immigrate to the USA. I don't really know what people are asking for here.

This is one of the supreme examples of what a huge effect media bias can have. Without actually lying, the media coverage of immigration (often purposely blurring the lines between illegal and legal immigration, with the birth of the term "undocumented immigrants"), people have become convinced that the US is xenophobic and against immigration. The U.S legally allows a million people a year to immigrate here.
