The Homeland Security Department said it was legally impossible under the committee's rules to reconsider its approval without evidence DP World gave false information or withheld vital details from U.S. officials. The 30-day window for the committee to voice objections has ended.

I agree. There are no US firms that were interested in the gig?

The DNC spin being put on the story by Asso Propagana is a fraud. It is being implied that they are taking over port security. NO THEY DO NOT. The Fed Govt runs Port Security. They are a private company that RUNS the port operations. Amazing how noone notices it is Chucky Schumer pushing this story.

It is just the 1st step in Chucky Schumer and his Democrat Senate insane clown posse pushing for "Let's put the Govt in charge of the ports". It has the added benefit of allowing Chucky to posture as being "tough on security issues" while actually doing NOTHING serious. The Dems want this so they can swell union membership and there DNC campaign contributions like they did after 9-11 with the Air Line Baggage Screeners. IT is PURE total BS.

Is there another way to stop this?

This piece doesn't even deserve reading.

In a POST 9/11 world, no way should a foreign entity be an owner of such a sensitive facility.

Why doesn't the US sell them some nuclear plants and water treatment faciilites.

The US can also farm out the border patrol to them and the Mexicans.
