The Department of Homeland Security was established in 2002 as part of the Bush administration’s war on terror.
Oh, that’ll have the conservatives absolutely frothing
Chinga la migra
Excuse me, but don’t we actually need customs and border patrol? I’m perfectly fine with completely re-organizing CPB, but we have an absolutely gigantic couple of borders, and we really do need a functional customs and border patrol.
DHS and ICE can fuck off
I work with Imports and Customs as my job, could always bring back the US Customs Service:

Went away in 2003 when everything got rolled into DHS.
👍
it was created then to. granted that part was mainly a consolidation of other things we had including the border patrol, Her bill is basically to put us back to where we were before the homeland security act. Her bill is literally a repeal of the homeland security act. Im all for it.
we can’t just fund states to do it? they’re more than capable
In general, it’s a good idea to have federal forces handling international borders. This administration aside.
Only if you want to make sure none of the states out-compete each other
I doubt it.
You don’t think ti’s a good idea for a country to handle its borders? k, bud, whatever
Each state in the US is part of a federation. It isn’t a province. Provinces are dependent on a central government. It’s not exactly a confederation, but federal funding + state execution is the federal model. it’s why we don’t have us police, we don’t have us education etc. We have state police. State education. Who maintains the interstate? The federal government gives funding to the states and each state handles it.
No fucking shit. What the fuck are you on about? You know this much and you somehow don’t know that the feds handle the border? You are not that ignorant. Why are you pretending to be ignorant of how it works? Or maybe I don’t fucking care.
I want the border to be solved like policing of all federal laws are done: with state police. Murder isnt solved with a federal murder team. DHS and ICE arent necessary to enforce immigration.
The rest of the world has customs and border patrol. We tried eaving each state doing federal duties on their own accord once and it didn’t work then. I don’t think it work now.
