Re: Sympathy for the devils
"Biz is biz, if you don't want to do biz with all comers, apparently legal or not, then don't do biz."
Not only is this a morally reprehensible outlook, it's actually illegal depending on one's line of work. Banks, for example, are legally bound to screen customers for a variety of criteria indicative of risks, e.g. being a terrorist or attempting to launder money from a criminal enterprise. Many companies also have a code of ethics (since you're clearly not familiar with the word, here's the definition) which guides the company's activity. Even companies which lack a formal code of ethics may not want to outrage a significant quantity of their employees, especially skilled ones, for a variety of reasons. Despite what you may believe, labor actually does wield power. Management can fire the employees, but then who will do the work? Furthermore, and this may be shocking to you, it's possible that some of the managers themselves may object to ICE's policies and actions, so the rank and file may not be the only ones balking at the contract.
