Spoken like somoene who hasn't a clue. It's like you said that, if the DHS was a machine shop, that those hauling the raw metal and doing the machining and the welding are "a few bureaucrats". The actual bureaucrats have ample funds and will not hurt in the long run, it's the schlubbs making $55K a year with families that will feel the sting.
But what's at stake here is more important than either of these two "schlubs"; it's the rule of law; it's the constitutional republic that will suffer if laws duly enacted can be arbitrarily dismissed.
Witness the off-handed take over of the internet, the banning of legitimate ammunition, The EPA or DOJ picking and choosing winners and losers, and what's next? These actions strike at the very foundation of our republic and the rule of law.
If we do not stop this here and now we never will and law and the republic will become a joke, a tyranny. That's whats at stake, and nothing less.
