HOMELAND SECURITY

Republicans and I agree on one thing. We both dislike Homeland Security.

So let's save money by dissolving Homeland Security. We go back to the old ways, where the Coast Guard, the Secret Service, and the Immigration and Naturalization Departments are separate agencies.

Federal agencies should have one main goal. It is difficult to be all things to all people.

If Congress wants to control immigration decisions, it is a lot easier to do with just one agency involved.

The Secret Service needs to concentrate on protecting our President, et al. If the Secret Service is a step child of Homeland Security, our President, et al, are less secure as evidenced by the recent news.

The Coast Guard needs to concentrate on protecting our coastlines, and keeping idiots from drowning. These tasks are difficult enough, without the Coast Guards' money being reallocated to the Secret Service and to ICE.

Sometimes ideas look good on the drawing board, but do not work in real life. Grownups admit their mistakes and try to fix the ensuing problems.

LET'S DISSOLVE HOMELAND SECURITY!
