Homeland Security seeks $41.2 billion budget for 2016
February 4, 2015 By BioPrepWatch Reports

Homeland Security Secretary Jeh Johnson announced a $41.2 billion budget request Monday for the 2016 fiscal year.

The budget would improve the unity of effort at the department, Johnson said, focusing on harmonizing DHS business processes. Along with the budget, a new Common Appropriations Structure was also submitted to Congress, which would standardize financial planning, programming and budgets for all DH agencies, Johnson said.

There are five areas the department focuses on each year, and the budget is in alignment with those five missions, Johnson said.

<><> The first mission is to prevent terrorism and enhance security in the country by implementing security for the land, air and at sea.

<><> The next mission is to secure and manage the countrys borders, and reduce the number of illegal immigrants and amount of contraband getting into the United States.

<><> The third mission includes enforcing and administering immigration laws and providing safe and secure detention of illegal immigrants in federal custody if they are a flight risk or a public safety concern.

<><> The fourth mission deals with safeguarding and securing cyberspace, which impacts economic security. The 2016 budget would invest in technology and staff to reduce cybercrime and improve the security of federal network defenses.

<><> The fifth mission, Johnson said, is to strengthen national preparedness and resilience so the country can prepare and respond to any type of disaster.

Johnson said before Congress approves any funding for the next fiscal year lawmakers should approve funding for the current year.

The Presidents FY 2016 Budget provides the resources necessary for the Department of Homeland Security to further strengthen our efforts to fulfill our wide-ranging missions, while also being agile and vigilant in the face of ever-evolving threats and recent world events, Johnson said. But prior to acting on the FY 2016 Budget, I urge Congress to fully fund DHS for the rest of this fiscal year, as the current continuing resolution is disruptive, creates uncertainty, and impedes efficient resource planning and execution.

Yeah, but those of us who still have jobs get stuff for cheaper, so it all balances out.

H1B is so abused....

Why hire one competent American when you can hire 4 incompetent route memory Indians from India who can do 1.5 times the work...

At some point I may just finish paying off my house and go on the “dole” because seriously, why play by the rules of the rules keep getting yourself screwed over...

EXCLUSIVE– Attorney For Displaced Disney Workers: Rubio A ‘Liar’ Appeasing ‘His Corporate Donors’

http://www.breitbart.com/big-government/2015/11/25/exclusive-attorney-displaced-disney-workers-rubio-liar-appeasing-corporate-donors/

WASHINGTON, DC – U.S. Senator Ted Cruz (R-TX) today presented an amendment to the Gang of Eight immigration bill that would improve our nation’s legal immigration system by increasing high-skilled temporary worker visas, called H-1B visas, by 500 percent.

Happening at my corporation as well...big time.

Major computer company.

[CodeToad]

Well, what do we expect from corporations that are run by liberal arts majors??

[Rashputin]

See, there are good reasons why Ted Cruz wants a 500% increase in the number of such Visas.

[Tammy8]

Yes most of the jobs in recent years have gone to immigrants, both legal and illegal.

Best way to kill H1-B visas is to require that they be paid 1.5 times the company’s average equivalent position salary.

[Dallas59]

Also many companies are outsourcing some of their operations to third party companies. Subaru outsourced their packaging “department” to a third party. Nothing but temps at 9 dollars an hour. Fed Ex does the same. Very few actual employees but tons of temp agencies doing the work.

[Political Junkie Too]

The H-1B visa program was designed to encourage highly skilled foreign workers to put down roots in the U.S. and spur innovation.

The first sentence is crap.

The H-1B program was designed to help businesses overcome temporary shortfalls in the availability of highly skilled resources.

Why does this CIO think that a "temporary" visa was designed to "put down roots in the U.S.?"

Bloody wogs.

5. Infosys and Tata

Noticed a pattern, yet? The same large outsourcing firms keep cropping up in relation to these scandals. As Ron Hira, an Economic Policy Institute research associate and an associate professor of public policy at Howard University outlines in this blog for the Economic Policy Institute:

“These two India-based IT firms specialize in outsourcing and offshoring, are major publicly traded companies with a combined market value of about $115 billion, and are the top two H-1B employers in the United States. In Fiscal Year (FY) 2013, Infosys ranked first with 6,269 H-1B petitions approved by the government, and Tata ranked second with 6,193 … these leading offshore outsourcing firms use the H-1B program to replace American workers and to facilitate the offshoring of American jobs … they don’t use the H-1B visa as a way to alleviate a shortage of STEM-educated U.S. workers; they use it primarily to cut labor costs.”

I had a friend whose husband was out of work for a period to time...He ended up getting a job with Infosys...working for the Indians...”If can’t fight them join them” Was some sort of salesman for Infosys...he is US Citizen (not Indian).

Have lost touch with friend...probably a good thing because I would not be able to keep my mouth shut!
