Parole Reform

End abuse of parole and limit its use to extraordinary cases.

NGOs and Processing: Redirect funds away from NGOs processing illegal immigrants, focusing resources on border security, detention, and immigration court facilities.

Other Pathways for Border Crossers

• Update legal frameworks for Remain in Mexico and Asylum Cooperative Agreements.

• Expand expedited asylum processes like PACR and HARP.

Employment Authorization

• Tighten control over employment authorization, limiting it to specific categories.

• Permanently mandate E-Verify for employers.

• Infrastructure Security Agency):

• Scope Narrowing: Limit CISA’s role to protecting federal networks and coordinating critical infrastructure security. Transfer non-essential roles (e.g., school security) to other agencies.

• End Misinformation Censorship: Stop CISA’s involvement in misinformation and disinformation efforts, as this is seen as unconstitutional.

• Election Security: Limit CISA’s involvement to helping states with cybersecurity hygiene for elections, without engaging in messaging or propaganda.

• U.S. Coast Guard (USCG):

  • Mission Focus: Concentrate the USCG’s efforts on protecting U.S. waters and addressing threats from China’s fishing fleet and narcotics flows.

  • Shipbuilding and Budget: Increase funding for essential shipbuilding and facilities, especially in the Pacific and Arctic regions.

  • Personnel: Focus recruitment on talent without prioritizing diversity and wokeness. Re-vet personnel dismissed due to COVID-19 vaccine refusal.

• U.S. Secret Service (USSS):

  • Dual-Mission Reassessment: Shift USSS’s focus back to its primary protective mission by transferring its financial crime investigations to other agencies (e.g., Department of Justice, Department of Treasury).

  • Agency Restructuring: Close field offices unrelated to protection duties and transfer agents to Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) for support in threat management.

These proposals aim to streamline operations, refocus agency missions, eliminate waste, and better align resources with national priorities.

The section outlines proposed reforms for various U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) components, focusing on streamlining operations, improving accountability, and enhancing efficiency.

U.S. Secret Service (USSS):

• USSS should focus solely on its protective mission, eliminating its financial crimes investigations except those tied to illegal immigration.

• It should transfer non-protective investigations to other agencies and increase transparency, such as maintaining visitor logs for facilities where the President resides.

• Budget cuts would result from closing redundant offices and improving recruitment focused on protection. USSS agents should be trained and motivated for long-term careers in protection.

• The Uniform Division should be expanded and empowered to enforce laws in the broader D.C. area to boost morale.

Transportation Security Administration (TSA):

• TSA’s operations should be privatized, either through an expanded Screening Partnership Program or a Canadian-style system, reducing costs and improving service.

• TSA's workforce should be de-unionized to streamline operations and enhance security.

Management Directorate (MGMT):

• MGMT has overlapping responsibilities with other DHS components, leading to inefficiencies. Structural and procedural changes are needed, with a focus on reducing red tape, improving procurement processes, and ensuring effective management of the department’s resources.

• Federal Protective Service (FPS) should report directly to the DHS Secretary rather than through MGMT to ensure better coordination during crises.

Office of Strategy, Policy, and Plans (PLCY):

• PLCY should assess and improve DHS's approach to domestic terrorism and speech censorship, ensuring all actions align with constitutional rights.

• The office should also streamline reporting requirements and focus on consistent granting decisions across the department.

Office of Intelligence and Analysis (I&A):

• The I&A should be eliminated due to its redundancy and misuse for domestic political purposes. Other agencies, like the FBI and NSA, already provide sufficient intelligence products, and cybersecurity should be managed by the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency.
