Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) said eliminating the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is not as “radical” as former President George W. Bush’s implementation of the department after the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks. Ocasio-Cortez made the comments during a town hall event on immigration in New York on July 20. The comments were first highlighted in a video by the Republican National Committee. “That criminalization frame has justified abuse [sic] of human beings. That’s one big reason why we have to take things from a criminalized frame to a civil frame,” she said. “And when people say ‘Oh, you wanna to talk about dismantling DHS or abolishing ICE or all of these things. These are such radical agendas.’ First of all, I think that reorganizing and getting rid of DHS is not as radical as George Bush’s creation, implementation of DHS in the first place.”

She may have a point on this one. Seems the dhs was put in place to protect everybody but Americans and their homeland.
I say go ahead. Get rid of a bunch of FBI agents as well as make those gropers at the airport go contract.
I could live without DHS. Is there hard data that shows they have improved anything here?
What the poor empty headed twit doesn’t know is immigration had its own agency with a greater latitude. Raids on business that hired illegals got shut down. Cries of La Migra were frequently heard in Phoenix.
Any data would probably be classified. Cortez is just worried DHS will catch or kill a terrorist.
Er, well, okay then.
OK, as long as we get to delete the IRS, Department of Education, EPA, etc. while we’re at it.
HEAR! HEAR!
A whole bunch of alphabet agencies need to go. Yes.
Fine. Assign the military to the job of protecting the border and give them shoot to kill orders for illegal border crossers.

The very definition of national security.
Until another 9/11.
Agreed, call this hand. Get rid of DHS.
DHS was created because of your muzzie friends who attacked the US WTC killing thousands.
Get rid of the TSA morons.
A whole bunch of alphabet agencies need to go. Yes.

That looks like the 2nd term plan... cut the budget by deleting agencies... now that most of the judiciary is now “rule of law” oriented.
I’m not against getting rid of DHS.
The term Homeland to me is not American.
It’s weird.
Cortez, though, has nothing but bad intentions.
Finally something I can agree with Mz. CowFartz on.
DHS was an unnecessary gigantic expansion of the FedMob police.
