Trump will gut Coast Guard, TSA, FEMA to pay for his border wall, immigrant roundups

[KingOrfeo]

No, really.

Under Trump, the Office of Management and Budget wants to cut the Coast Guard’s $9.1 billion budget by 14 percent, according to internal budget documents obtained by Politico. The plan would also make significant cuts to airport and rail security, cutting Transportation Security Administration spending 11 percent. It would even reduce the budget of the Federal Emergency Management Agency 11 percent.

The new plan would also increase the Department of Homeland Security’s budget for building a U.S.-Mexico border wall and hiring additional border agents and immigration officers. The budget office’s plan would raise Homeland Security spending 6 percent, to $43.8 billion.

He seems to have some confused notions about what makes for border security.

The TSA should be completely cut and replaced by private security by the airports/airlines.

The TSA cost taxpayers around 80+ billion a year. It was reported that TSA agents have over a 90% failure rate at detecting dangerous weapons/materials during the screening process.

Same can be said of drug enforcement agencies. They only intercept a small percentage of drugs coming in. Bet more immigrants cross the border than get caught.

Good, less secure (less racist) borders should make you and other (D)'s ecstatic right?
