President Donald Trump's administration is grappling with an embarrassing setback in their plans for a recruitment surge of deportation officers, reported The Atlantic on Monday: tons of the people applying can't do the basic fitness test.

"More than a third have failed so far, four officials told me, impeding the agency’s plan to hire, train, and deploy 10,000 deportation officers by January. To pass, recruits must do 15 push-ups and 32 sit-ups, and run 1.5 miles in 14 minutes," reported Nick Miroff. "'It’s pathetic,' one career [Immigration and Customs Enforcement] official told me, adding that before now, a typical class of 40 recruits had only a couple of candidates fail, because the screening process was more rigorous."

Now, because Trump officials have signficantly eased the hiring process, many people who cannot do even light exercise are getting job offers that may have to be revoked or altered once they get to the training facility, said the report: "An email from ICE headquarters to the agency’s top officials on October 5 lamented that 'a considerable amount of athletically allergic candidates' had been showing up to the academy; they had 'misrepresented' their physical condition on application forms. The email directed leaders at ICE’s field offices to conduct preliminary fitness exams with new recruits before sending them to the academy."

I hate fat people more than brown people. The slothfulness, driving 20ft to check the mail, wheezing after 3 steps, the rolls of fat glistening from thinking of moving... just shoot all fat people or deport them to Japan

former Air Force. Basic training was only six weeks when I was in, and I did not do a single push-up. Not even one. We did some stretches and maybe some squat-thrusts if our TI was pissed off, then we went to the pad and jogged.
First week, we jogged a quarter-mile. They added another quarter mile every week. By week 6, we ran 1.5 miles in 12:30 and didn't break a sweat.

These slobs cannot do a few situps and pushups and run 1.5 in 14 minutes? Why on earth are they signing up for ICE?

They hate minorities and the pay is massively disproportionate.

How fat were you, before you lost the weight?
>>
>>1450026
I signed up because I eat a lot and food prices have gone through the roof and I dropped out of high school and I don't like brown people and I.C.E. pays well

I signed up because I'm antifa and I wanted to leak information.
Couldn't pass. Comrades are pissed.

Obese magats wanting you to respect their authori-tah.

People don't understand how disgusting they really are, they hide it behind a fragile shell of hypocrisy and it manifests as blaming others. Fatties should be used as fuel.

>>1450006
Is that embarrassing? The army reports that 80% of their new recruits can't pass physical fitness. If DHS is only getting a 35% failure rate that means it's attracting comparatively more fit individuals
>>
>>1450211
Drastically lowered standards and training time and they're still losing that many?
>>
>>1450215
and trying to claim that DHS has as rigorous standards as the Army.
>15 push-ups and 32 sit-ups, and run 1.5 miles in 14 minutes
This sounds like a Jr High gym test
>>
>>1450216
Bro that's a middle school fitness test.
>>
>>1450216
I don't get why this is embarrassing to DHS tho. They set fitness standards and they are filtering people who don't pass. America is so unhealthy the gen pop that would pass this is probably lower than 30%
>>
>>1450223
It's literally the bare minimum. A fucking child could pass these.
>>
>>1450223
The day laborers they're trying to get these fatasses to catch can run circles around them due to all the physical labor they do.

Idk anon, I did a search on your claim and found this random article from 2003 showing that 75% of Californian students fail their fitness exams: https://www.sfgate.com/health/article/1-million-kids-fail-fitness-test-But-state-s-2512363.php

It really seems like 30% is actually a pretty good number
>>
>>1450225
I mean, here's another one that shows 60% of students fail their fitness exams https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Presidential_Fitness_Test

I'm really thinking 30% is a pretty good number for America

>On the brighter side, students improved a little since the first test was given four years ago, when 80 percent of the students failed to meet all six fitness standards.
>Students were asked to run a mile in 9 to 12.5 minutes, depending on age and gender. Fewer than half of the state's ninth-graders -- 49 percent -- could do it.
>They had better luck with "trunk extension strength" such as pull-ups. Between 82 and 88 percent of students in all three grades managed to reach 9 to 12 inches on the pass-fail test.
So the DHS requirements are legitimately easier than middle school fitness tests.
>>
>>1450236
How is a 12 minute mile harder than a 14 minute 1.5mile+15 pushups+32 sit ups?

You can't even do math for fucks sake, the DHS run, even without the situps and pushups works out to a 9:15 minute mile
>>
>>1450250
god you're esl

Yeah okay have fun being btfo, unhinged and wrong at every turn, weirdo

They're just setting the stage for a narrative, and that narrative is that deporting the browns isn't realistic so we have to start killing them until they leave on their own. Deportation isn't fast enough, its too expensive and its a legal nightmare - the plan is simply to revoke their human rights, because they're not human and they have no rights here. Then they'll throw the problem at the Democrats and challenge them to come up with a better solution that doesn't involve letting the browns stay, which will result in implicit permission to murder all the browns from both sides.

Are you fucking kidding me? They can’t manage that?
>>
>>1450006
It's like that too for our military or would be if they weren't constantly lowering the standards. I don't expect America to win a war.

>former Air Force. Basic training was only six weeks when I was in, and I did not do a single push-up.
>Not even one.
Also former Air Force. You're completely full of shit. What year did you go in? I did basic in late '05 back when they used to have "warrior week" in week 5. I've done so many push-ups I couldn't use a keyboard after basic. Hell our MTI got pissed off at us for talking too much when we were getting our dress blues we had to do pushups while wearing our low quarters, which were damn near impossible to shine the creases out.

So how the fuck did you "did not do a single push-up. Not even one", especially when those are part of the PT test? How fucking pathetic do you have to be to stolen valor the chair force of all branches?
