Law enforcement is still a local responsibility. As for sex trafficking, that is another failure of government. This is they way things work. One part of government is allowed, forced or encouraged to fail. That allows another part of government to become heroes, thus validating their existence but concurrently allowing corruption elsewhere in their ranks. They are not heroes. They should not be given any accolades. They are supposed to do a job, just like everyone else. It’s government propaganda to convince scared people that they are needed.

Case in point, immigration and control of our border has a decades long history of abject failure. This has allowed sex and drug trafficking. The FBI cleans up part of that mess. Someone needs to clean up part of that mess. It might as well be local law enforcement where we have a better chance at controlling corruption and uncontrolled abuse of power..

When have you heard anyone at the FBI ever complain about the government caused invasion at our southern border? You haven’t and there is a reason. They fully know if the root of the problem was fixed, they would go from being so-called heroes to not being needed.

Fixing government requires some very basic things. Each government agency, board, and commission needs its function evaluated against the powers enumerated in the constitution. If such a power does not exist, then that entity is eliminated. Then the remaining parts of government need to meet their missions as prescribed by law, and only that. For the life of me I cannot find anywhere in the US Constitution that gives Congress the power to establish the FBI. Perhaps that’s the reason why our nation existed so long before there was the FBI and has declined so much since the formation of the FBI. Note: it’s not solely the FBI’s fault for America’s decline. It is all the massive expansion of government since the early 20th century and the acceleration in growth. It is a progressive, big government mindset.

I agree but current jurisprudence has interpreted the General Welfare Clause, the Commerce Clause and the 14th Amendment to cover virtually any activity or condition in existence. For instance, the Environmental Protection Agency and its enabling act are permitted under the General Welfare Clause.
