... we'll be blamed for shutting down the department ...

Man up, loser. You are either for Amnesty or against it. Funding is the most powerful constitutional weapon of The House. Use it.

Peter King is another Democrat in an R jersey.

Unfortunately, they make up a majority of the GOP officeholders in Congress.

With Obama’s open border let everyone who wants in policy, we have no “Homeland.”

Which makes the Department of Homeland Security just another giant government make work program for the barely employable democrat voter base.

When will we see the department of taxpayer security?

Never.

Do they speak for their voters or their corporate funders and globalist paymasters? I know the answer.

Sara you have that right. I worked at DHS/CBP. The truth is there is a lot of money involved in DHS and honestly a lot of it is just wasted and has little value to real national security but individuals like King have their ears tuned to big government contractors. My belief is the dollar focus should be on the borders and ports and much of the rest should be gutted because the return on investment is miniscule. Much of what is centered in DC is a make work program for elitist progressives who largely dominate the area. I’m not saying they are all bad and I can’t blame them for wanting 6 figure incomes and to feel important but in the end Tax payers are getting fleeced.

Our constitution is getting fleeced, too. In the meantime, the borders are wide open for whatever kook and whatever WMD care to cross over into our country.
