DHS was hastily cobbled together in the aftermath of 9/11.

We need a Church/Pike Committee equivalent to conduct a clear assessment whether this Cabinet level Department has functioned, and if not then what to do about.

And bring back INS. Carving out ICE and CBP guaranteed the toxic worst.

Agreed, and before abolishing them let’s make sure we have a thorough list of all employees—ie Americans who have recently committed or are likely to commit nationalist violence in the future.

If we were to increase the number of undocumented workers in the US construction industry by 100,000 people, the labor supply of fast construction workers would go *up*, and the cost to construct a home would go *down*.

Everyone knows this.

But racist people pretend not to know it.

It's silly

I work at a university and this guy is a massive asshole who would be laughed out of any room with actual educators in it. Accommodations help people succeed and are available to every student. It’s GOOD that people do better when they have support.
