A major newspaper article discussed plans to relax job requirements at the FBI and ICE. The FBI has long been regarded as one of the most reputable organizations globally, partly due to its strict recruitment standards. Likewise, ICE (Border Patrol) maintained very high standards of foreign language proficiency. While reducing these standards may increase applicant numbers, it raises the question: Will lower standards result in better-qualified personnel? What are these new hires defending us from? Why are masked officers that are equipped with military grade weapons roaming around looking for illegal entrants? There has to be a better way to handle this.
Lowering employment standards is a bad idea.

I’m a dreamer at heart, proudly born and raised in San Francisco—a city that covers just 49 square miles but was heaven on earth for me. Every corner of The City (as we natives affectionately call it) has been a part of my life. No area ever felt too distant. With wide eyes and an open heart, I’ve always welcomed the world around me. I find joy in creativity, wonder, and discovering new possibilities—whether that’s through international work adventures or dreaming up the next exciting idea. Even though San Francisco was my hometown, my passport has taken me to many amazing places and introduced me to wonderful people, shaping me in countless ways. I carry pieces of these experiences and friendships with me wherever I go. Above all, I treasure my family, friends, and those small, meaningful moments that keep my spirit alive and thriving. I never want my curiosity to fade away. View all posts by globalwhiz@protonmail.com
