WASHINGTON — Department of Homeland Security Secretary Jeh Johnson released a statement Tuesday night saying that any “politically charged amendments” in the DHS funding bill “that attempt to defund our executive actions on immigration reform” would result in consequences.
Johnson warns that if DHS were to be funded by a short-term funding bill known as a “continuing resolution,” the department would not be able to fund “new non-disaster grants to state, local and tribal governments, law enforcement, emergency response officials and fire departments.”
Secretary Johnson said that some state, local and tribal government activities, including counter-terrorism equipment and gear in major metropolitan cities, would be cut the department runs on a short-term funding bill.

DHS is giving non disaster grants? They can't even operate self efficiently. The blind leading hellen Keller round here.
ReplyDeleteThese people are out of their minds.
ReplyDeleteHow come... when they don't get the PORK money they want, they act like it will all be shut down.Public sector leaders and workers are so inferior to the private sector. They have no brains.
ReplyDeletethis is what happens when you tie local governments to federal money. they own you. maybe getting rid of the grants is a good thing. let it happen
ReplyDeleteAll they do is spy on us and let illegals in. I say let there funding run out.
ReplyDeleteSounds a lot like what Lois Lerner did with her chunk of the IRS...maybe he needs to go to!
ReplyDeleteWe didn't even have a DHS before 9/11. Lets disband the whole thing and tell Jeh to pack up and go home. Save us all some money.
ReplyDeleteDHS has evolved into a gestapo-like organization. It needs to be reined in or eliminated.
ReplyDeleteToo much consolidation has given them too much power.
A message to Jeh Johnson:
ReplyDelete"We don't care, pal. Your agency is second only to the EPA as most terroristic in the whole of America and we want you shut down, now. We got along just fine w/o you until the equally terroristic Bush administration created you and we can damn sure get along w/o you now."
DHS; yadda, yadda, yadda.
