I'm building Gundams in America

Hongshu Street is now brightly decorated, creating a festive atmosphere.

Originally, this street was just a run-down street in the Chinatown international community in South Seattle, a place where drug addicts and homeless people gathered, making it a very dangerous street.

But now, everything has changed.

There are more homeless people on the streets, but they have become more polite, and extreme violence is rare.

Even many homeless women who were originally destitute and at the very bottom of society came to this street seeking shelter.

The reason is simple: members of the Saints patrol this street 24 hours a day with guns.

Here, no one dares to cause trouble.

Even gangs from the Bloods, the Cripples, and the Seta Group withdrew from this street, turning it into a peaceful place free from other gangs.

Occasionally, some ignorant young men would come here to sell drugs or fentanyl, but they were always chased away by the Saints Gang immediately.

With free food being distributed these past few days, the street has become even more lively.

Several homeless people who were skilled at graffiti even started painting Christmas-themed murals on the walls along the street.

Someone brought in a somewhat dilapidated sound system and started playing cheerful Christmas songs on the street.

This street has gradually become a holy place in the hearts of homeless people in the South District.

In the line for broth and flatbread, a man in a slightly worn jacket slowly followed the line, chatting with a homeless man next to him.

"Brother Paul, you mean the person who set up this food distribution point is also homeless? My God, that's unbelievable."

A look of pride appeared on Paul's face as he said:

"Of course! The saint not only distributes food but also exorcises evil spirits for everyone, and it's all free during the festival!"

"I once experienced an exorcism performed by a saint. I had very severe pneumonia, you know, in winter, with freezing rain, I started coughing up blood and almost went to see God..."

"It was the saint who exorcised the evil spirits from me, gradually improving my health and saving my life!"

"To be honest, everyone's secretly saying that he is the righteous one of our time, the Messiah who has returned to earth!"

"However, I don't think so."

Seeing the serious expression on Paul's face, the man in the jacket raised an eyebrow and asked:

"Why? Brother Paul, didn't you say this saint saved your life?"

Paul, the homeless man, shook his head and said slowly:

"What Messiah who has returned to earth? The Messiah never left! Jesus Christ is eternal! So the saint is actually Jesus Christ, who has lived among us for thousands of years in anonymity. Now he couldn't bear to see us suffer any longer, so he has come out again to save humanity!"

Seeing the earnest expression on Paul's face, the man in the jacket paused for a moment, then forced a smile and said:

"I see……"

At the same time, he cursed the madman in his heart.

He then quickly asked:

"What was that saint's name? I really want to thank this kind man properly. You know, my life had just lost all hope..."

Paul, the homeless man, said with a smile:

"Wayne, Bruce Wayne! Have you seen 'Golden Childhood'? That TV series that can heal a lifetime? Mr. Saint was the lead actor in that show, the famous child star Bruce Wayne! Of course, I heard it from other people..."

The man in the jacket nodded, a strange glint in his eyes, and exclaimed in admiration:

"So it was him..."

He then turned and left the line for food, glanced at the area of ​​tents, and continued wandering aimlessly until he reached the end of the street and got into an inconspicuous black family car.

Inside the driver's seat sat a tall, burly Black man with a menacing face, wearing a baseball cap. Upon seeing the man in the jacket enter, he immediately said:

"I've already found out. This so-called saint has been coming to this street for a while, making money on the street under the guise of some kind of spiritual medium exorcism..."

"It's said that his exorcism rituals are very effective, so many people regard him as some kind of saint and say that he has superpowers..."

"Speaking of which, my grandmother once told me that some voodoo mediums are indeed very effective, but they actually use herbs..."

The man in the jacket nodded slightly, smiled, and said:

"I've also confirmed that this saint is the target we're looking for, Bruce Wayne..."

"I don't care how he went from a fucking child star to a street psychic, but it looks like he's made a lot of money..."

"After all, without money, you can't do any street charity or give food to these scum of the underworld; you need enough money..."

At this point, the man in the jacket cracked his neck and grinned:

"This is good... Now that he has money, his debts will be settled, and our trip wasn't in vain."

The black man in the baseball cap smirked and said:

"I knew it, those damn white bastards in Hollywood always find a way to scam money... How much are we going to get back this time? $56?"

The man in the jacket shrugged and grinned menacingly:

"Now that we've found him, we can take over many of his debts. The $56 was just from that previous deal. Once the word is out, we can take on any bounty related to Bruce Wayne..."

As they were talking, the black man in the baseball cap started the car and slowly drove away from the street.

They came mainly today to verify the accuracy of the information.

Now that we've found Bruce Wayne, things will be much easier.

This is also the biggest challenge for many debt bounty hunters.

Once the debtor is found, everything will be much easier...

……

"Mr. Wayne, I cordially invite you to join the ERO division of the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement and become an ICE agent."

Inside the tent, Kevin spoke to Wayne with a serious expression.

The more he thought about it, the more he felt that his idea was absolutely brilliant.

Although Bruce Wayne has become a has-been child star, he still wields enormous influence among the white population of America, especially among the MAGA (Make America Great Again) community.

At least Kevin himself and many of his MAGA friends grew up watching the TV series "Golden Childhood".

The entire ICE department is now facing a huge public opinion crisis due to the slander and obstruction from the KMT.

If Bruce Wayne could join ICE, it would definitely have a star effect and stabilize morale.

It even garnered considerable support for ICE.

Of course, Kevin had this idea for the sake of the entire ICE department, for the sake of making America great again, and for the sake of cracking down on those damn illegal immigrants.

It was definitely not because he was afraid that he would have erectile dysfunction again someday, nor was it because he wanted to please his boss, Mr. Cody, nor was it because he learned from a colleague's casual conversation that Mr. Cody had a long history of erectile dysfunction.

Wayne remained calm and slowly said:

"Kevin, my friend, I understand your good intentions, but the process of becoming an ICE agent is too complicated. I can't leave the streets and abandon my friends for this job."

From the very beginning, Wayne used the [Basic Witch Doctor] to block Kevin's left anterior descending branch, setting a trap for the opponent. He was aiming to join ICE.

Now that the other party has taken the bait, I naturally can't be too obvious.

The best strategy is to feign indifference to lure the enemy into submission.

Upon hearing Wayne's words, Kevin quickly explained:

"Sir, there are two types of ICE agents. One is the HSI Special Agent, which belongs to the criminal investigation line of the Department of Homeland Security Investigations. Becoming an HSI Special Agent is extremely complicated..."

"The process involves application, written test, physical fitness test, interview, medical and psychological evaluation, as well as in-depth background check and lie detector test. Finally, there is hiring followed by at least 21 weeks of basic law enforcement and specialized training..."

"However, HSI is responsible for criminal investigations, mainly combating transnational crime, including counterterrorism, counter-espionage, cybercrime, human trafficking, and so on. They are in charge of foreign affairs..."

"I belong to the Enforcement and Repatriation Operations (ERO) department. My position is an enforcement officer. We are mainly responsible for arresting, detaining, and patrolling illegal immigrants within the country. The requirements to become an ERO enforcement officer are not as strict; only 12 weeks of training are needed..."

"And you should know that, with the president's support, ICE is continuously intensifying its crackdown on illegal immigration. Our team has been expanding, almost doubling its manpower in just one year, so we are severely understaffed!"

ERO is eagerly seeking talented individuals!

Kevin looked at Wayne with great anticipation.

ICE is indeed short-staffed right now, especially with a pure-blooded white man like Bruce Wayne.

Wayne nodded slightly, understanding that his skin color was an advantage in ICE.

Old white man with the Stars and Stripes.

According to 2024 data, the racial composition of the entire ICE workforce is as follows: white 55%, Hispanic (Latino) 19%, African American 15%, Asian 3%, and the remaining mixed and Indigenous people make up about 7%.

White people still dominate ICE, and the current president's various expansions since taking office have recruited a large number of redneck MAGAs.

There are countless examples of those redneck white men who once occupied Capitol Hill.

These MAGA redneck white men are the current president's base of support, and can be considered, in a sense, the president's personal army.

This can also be seen as a self-preservation measure by the current president after his previous term ended in failure.

He needs an army that is truly loyal to him.

The entire ICE team of tens of thousands of agents enjoys top-notch benefits. Even during the government shutdown caused by the partisan infighting, when funding for other departments was suspended, ICE salaries were not significantly affected due to special allocations.

As for the rumors circulating online about ICE agents taking out loans to get jobs, that was just a small part of the problem caused by chaotic management during rapid expansion, and it was quickly rectified.

This demonstrates the importance the current president places on this personal guard.

Seeing the eager look in Kevin's eyes after his long-winded explanation, Wayne shook his head slightly and said:

"Kevin, you know I can't possibly participate in ICE's recruitment process, with all those written tests, interviews, and 12 weeks of training. I don't have the time for that."

I just want to enjoy the rights of ICE, and I don't want to bear any obligations.
