Amid debunked claims from the White House that Republicans are the party of defunding police, one Democrat is taking things to a new level and calling for an elimination of funding for the entire U.S. Department of Homeland Security.
Representative Rashida Tlaib said Wednesday that America "Must eliminate funding for" Immigration and Customs Enforcement, Customs and Border Protection, "And their parent organization DHS.".
Rep. Rashida Tlaib doesn't just want to defund the police.
"Time after time we have seen it as advocates on the ground," Rep. Tlaib explained, "That these agencies are inept" at "Humanely guiding migrants through our immigration system."
Eliminating funding for DHS would only worsen these issues and generally make America more unsafe because - whether Tlaib realizes what her talking points mean or not - the DHS umbrella covers a lot more than just border or immigration security agencies.
The Department of Homeland Security Rep. Tlaib wants to defund was created during George W. Bush's administration in the wake of 9/11 as part of a federal reorganization.
Defunding DHS would mean gutting the budgets for not just ICE and CBP, but a host of other agencies including the Transportation Security Administration, Federal Emergency Management Agency, United States Coast Guard, and the United States Secret Service.
It's becoming increasingly difficult to discern fact from fiction, and unfortunately the media has a strong bias. They spin stories to make conservatives look bad and will go to great lengths to avoid reporting on the good that comes from conservative policies. There are a few shining lights in the media landscape-brave conservative outlets that report the truth and offer a different perspective. We must support conservative outlets like this one and ensure that our voices are heard.
