Should Republicans limit funding for the Department of Homeland Security over immigration to three months, they could open a new issue with Hispanics.

DHS employs the largest percentage of Hispanics of any government agency, with 21 percent of its workforce identified as Hispanic, according to the Office of Personnel Management. DHS said in its fiscal year 2015 budget request that the department has 240,000 employees, which meaning about 50,400 are Hispanic.

Actual headline. The race-baiting, class warfare mongering continues. See Hispanics - the Republicans really do hate you. /S

WAR on HISPANICS!!!

[jonose]

how about floating a budget?

[samtheman]

How about the EPA.

Can we please defund the EPA?

[Cowboy Bob]

So, we’ve hired Mexicans to guard our boarder with Mexico? What could possible go wrong? /sarc

[knittnmom]

Homeland Security. When I see that name, I think maybe they’re responsible for border control, limiting immigration, keeping our country safe from foreign-born terrorists or criminals. And it employs the most foreign-born people??

How about shutting the Gestapo down

RINOs are looking for excuses to fund the invasion of the US. Meanwhile, why is there no talk of dropping the Obamacare mandate with this next spending approval by defunding any initiatives to enforce the mandate?

[aumrl]

Seriously, this is a good reason NOT to track employee race.
Do I need to explain?

Someone definitely should investigate what happened to the hundreds of millions of taxpayer dollars that Obama gave the Baptists to hide the illegal invaders last summer. When each “minor” in OK cost $89,000, you know there was some stealing of funds going on.

Shut the whole damn gubmint down and elminiate some of those non-essential departments and we could work our way out of having an 18 trillion plus debt.

I would bet there are whole departments that, if eliminated, would not be missed.

If a President signed such legislation into law, globalist financial/banking elites would have him assassinated.

Every President knows not to cut government spending before they take office. They can talk about it, they just can't do it if they want to live.

Most Presidents are minions of the elites who have been trained/programmed by them for most of their adult life, so they happily do what the elites want them to.

They want to keep their corporate masters happy and their campaign chests full.

Bet the farm that NBC News took this “news” right off their daily fax from the DNC and printed it verbatim.

My son just left the Border Patrol after 6-yrs.
The Hispanics in the BP are overwhelmingly anti-legal immigration as anyone. They despise illegals and Obama. There are a few that are demon rat and an occasional cartel plant, but they are by far a very small number.

[Don Corleone]

the department has 240,000 employees, which meaning about 50,400 are Hispanic.

Also not mentioned is the fact that most of these Hispanics are Border Patrol Agents working along the southern borders and in Puerto Rico to keep ILLEGAL Hispanics and drug runners out of the USA. They do it at great personal risk to life and limb!!!

[CPOSharky]

It was posted somewhere that DHS has the same number of personnel as the US Marine Corps, but DHS has TWICE the funding.

[Georgia Girl 2]

They need to shut it down period. DHS should never have been created in the first place.
