Why not activate ICE to do rescues? They're part of the military and it's the NG that usually comes to the rescue. in2herbs Jul 4 #1

Can you just imagine ICE being forced into this kind of work -- work they never imagined they might have to do when they were sitting on the couch in their momma's house? I can hear them say "I didn't know water was wet and dirty!"
