handcuffed hands

Can you trust the Department of Homeland Security to secure the homeland?

Anyone who has been following me on Twitter will know that I have been watching the new president of Argentina Javier Milei closely, and getting more and more excited by his actions to cut wasteful spending and slim down government. I’ve been especially excited to see that DONALD TRUMP has met with him at Mar-A-Lago. Maybe we’ll see some of that awesome government waste cutting here?

Here’s a story from Matt Walsh at the Daily Wire (full text) that talks about another big government department that doesn’t do good work for taxpayers.

He has two cases that show the same problem with secular leftists in government putting virtue signaling above duty.

First one:

Three years ago, a 25-year-old Honduran national named Medina Ulloa was stopped by border patrol agents in Texas. He gave them a fake name and lied about being a juvenile. But instead of kicking him out of the country, authorities gave him a “notice to appear” for a court date that everyone knew he’d never actually attend. Then Ulloa was flown to Jacksonville, Florida, where he was taken in by a 46-year-old father of four. Soon afterwards, the immigrant beat the man to death inside his own home.

[…]How did Medina Ulloa get to Jacksonville? Did he buy a ticket himself, even though he had no money?

[…]In this case, the victim’s daughter claimed that Ulloa had indeed arrived on one of these [Biden-Harris administration] resettlement flights. And she would have reason to know that. Again, her father had allowed this guy into his home, and presumably they talked about how he had arrived in Jacksonville in the first place.

You might have heard about these “resettlement flights”. This is where the Biden-Harris Department of Homeland Security uses taxpayer dollars – dollars that will be put on the $36 trillion debt and paid back by your children – to flying illegal immigrants around the country.

Now here’s the second story from Matt Walsh’s article:

As you may have heard, the trial of 26-year-old Venezuelan illegal alien Jose Ibarra got underway this week in Athens, Georgia. Ibarra is accused of murdering Laken Riley, a 22-year-old nursing student, near a jogging trail at the University of Georgia back in February. Prosecutors say Ibarra put on a hoodie-style jacket, a black hat, and black disposable gloves, before going off to “hunt for females” on the university’s campus.

What we didn’t know until yesterday is how exactly Ibarra got to Georgia in the first place. The government certainly didn’t bother to tell us. But during the trial yesterday, we learned the answer to that question. According to Ibarra’s roommate, just like Medina Ulloa, he received a taxpayer-funded resettlement flight. In the case of Ibarra, the flight took him from New York City to Georgia.

In other words, the Biden-Harris administration didn’t just enable the murder of Laken Riley with their lax border policies, they also facilitated the murder.

So, what should we do with the secular leftist activists in the Biden-Harris Department of Homeland Security? We pay their salaries. But are we getting good value for the money we pay them? Why do they think that it is OK to use the money we pay them to import more Democrat voters into the country, and even criminals who commit violence against the very people who PAY THEIR SALARIES with our taxes?

Remember – every government worker only gets money by taking that money from real workers in the productive private sector. Many of these public sector workers have useless non-STEM degrees that they got by running up student loan debt. Many of them have no marketable skills, and no private sector work experience. They survive by being parasites on the productivity of real workers in the private sector. And then the government gives them massive salaries, benefits, and even student loan bailouts for their worthless non-STEM degrees.

We are $36 trillion in debt. We can’t be paying a bunch of public sector trash to enjoy adult day care at taxpayer expense. We either need to reform the Department of Homeland Security with new employees who have real skills and real integrity, or we need to scrap it. We just don’t have the money to pay Democrat party activists to do secular leftist activism all day, when they are supposed to be keeping us safe.
